MakeTasteSmile: May 2011
http://maketastesmile.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 3, 2011. I put this rub on a rack of ribs (about 12 hours before cooking them). Then the next day, I put it on some mahi mahi (about 10 minutes before grilling it). It was good on the ribs, but amazing on the mahi mahi. That was the best piece of fish I've ever cooked. The rub has just a little bit of a kick (McKenzie said it was spicy, but she still tried it) and has a great sweetness. The rub keeps for about a month and should be good on just about anything. 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar.

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Here's the recipe for the habanero salsa that I made. It's from Rick Bayless. 5 cloves garlic, unpeeled. 1 medium carrot, roughly chopped. Half of a small onion (about 1/2 cup), roughly chopped. 12 medium (about 5 ounces) orange habanero chiles, stemmed. 1 cup apple cider vinegar. About 2 teaspoons salt. Roast the garlic in a skillet over medium heat, turning regularly until soft and blackened in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool and peel. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, November 30, 2011. You don't always need to have posole with cornbread, but they do go really well together. Of course the best way to have posole is on top of your Christmas tamales. Or large can of hominy. 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed. 2 pounds pork steak or pork roast, cubed. 6 medium red chile pods (optional). Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 tsp dried oregano. 1/2 tsp cumin seed, crushed. 12 oz chopped mild green chile. 2 can whole tomatoes, chopped with juice. 1 1/2 T sugar. 1 1/2 c. milk.

Sunday, April 3, 2011. Cumin, Coriander, and Lime-Brined Ribs. I barbecued pork ribs today. This time I brined them first. They turned out great and the meat practically fell off the bone. It made me a big believer in brining ribs. I may not use the same brine next time, but I will brine. Here's how to make the brine. Cook the ribs the same as always. 1 tablespoon ground cumin. 1 tablespoon ground coriander. Tablespoon ground crushed red pepper. 2 tablespoons kosher salt. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.

MakeTasteSmile: Pasta Carbonara
http://maketastesmile.blogspot.com/2011/11/pasta-carbonara.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. I found this recipe on Gojee. And made it tonight. I made the pasta from scratch using the Italian flour. I got from Amazon.com. It was awesome: the best pasta recipe I've made. It would be great even without homemade pasta. I used bacon (finely chopped, fat removed) and a yellow onion (couldn't find a shallot). I did top it with a slow cooked egg. But I would consider that optional. 15 oz freshly grated pecorino romano. 1 large raw egg. Freshly ground black pepper.

Sunday, March 20, 2011. Icebox Key Lime Pie. This recipe is courtesy of. If you want to look at recipes, you'll need to set up an account, but it's free, and you get access to a bunch of great recipes, so you might as well. Note: The recipe says to use a food processor. I don't have one, so I used a blender. The end product was good, but I think it would have been much easier with a food processor. Serves 8 to 10. Whole graham crackers , broken into smaller pieces. Tablespoons unsalted butter , melted.

Peel the tomatoes by placing each tomato in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then placing it in an ice water bath. The tomato skins should split and peel easily. Chop the peeled tomatoes.
