This is a beautiful starter for a Holiday meal or simply a side with a nice sandwich at lunch. It has a clean, deep flavor with a little nuttiness from the Madeira wine. If you like mushrooms, like me, you will love this soup. Continue reading Wild Mushroom Consommé
I know, I know. It’s another chile post. I can’t help myself. Right now, it’s chile season. The fresh chiles season has come to an end (I bought my last 10 lbs last week) and now you are seeing all of the beautifully, fresh, dried chiles. It’s just too much for a chilehead like myself to resist. This dish, however, is unlike any chile dish you have ever seen and it is sooooo goooood, to boot! You owe it to yourself to check it out.

I have noticed of late that I am stuck on tomatoes but I just cannot help it. Baby Lady and I love tomatoes and summertime is when they are in abundant supply. Everywhere you go they have tomatoes.

Red, ripe, juicy globes full of sweetness and savoriness. They are just incredible and versatile, too. So, we always enjoy them and this dish was unbelievably enjoyable. Try it. You will like it.

Crepes. I love crepes. They are so versatile. You can have sweet dessert crepes or savory crepes, either as breakfast, an entrée or as an appetizer. You can even have them as a snack. You can make them in little purses, triangles, cylinders like a french enchilada or folded like a french burrito. They really are remarkable and tasty, too. This dish is a crabmeat crepe made in a little purse because it’s purty. Continue reading Crabmeat Purse with White Wine Lemon Butter Sauce
