#10DaysofTailgate: Meet the Bloggers - Susan is The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen

By
Counting down to #10DaysofTailgate...and meeting the folks who are making it happen. I have a funny story about Susan, given that we've never met in person, but I've been following her for a couple of years online.

I was binge-watching Best Food Ever and it was an episode about food trucks; they were talking about a truck that does Belgian waffles in Brooklyn. I was listening, but not totally watching. I glanced up from my laptop and saw Susan and her husband taking a bite out of the same waffle, Lady and the Tramp style. It was adorable. I think I must have shrieked 'I know her!' because my husband woke up with a start. Whoops. It was just so exciting.

In any case, Susan is not just one of our bloggers, she is also one of our prize donors. She just kicked off The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen Bake Shop and has donated two dozen cookies as prizes for our rafflecopter. Woohoo. I'm pleased to introduce you to...

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

By
In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
