Spicy Chicken and Vegetable Stew The Stew is a combination of many of the ingredients in my Country Captain and Hong Kong Style Chicken recipes. The photo shows the Stew just before it went into the oven. It is smelling good! Naan to be served alongside!

Today I made a big pot of Ham & Bean Soup and a batch of Cornbread to get us through tonight, with plenty of leftovers for tomorrow.

A very rainy New Year's Eve day - almost two inches have fallen in the last five hours - so a perfect day for making a big pot of Ham and Bean Soup!

My husband and I went out for a late lunch today at the recently opened Rouxpour (New Orleans style) restaurant near us. I had the Penne Pasta in a Cream Sauce with Grilled Shrimp... ...and he chose the Red Beans and Rice with Sausage.

A "catfish" kind of breakfast today. We had cooked up some bacon this morning and, while trying to decide what to have with it, I remembered the other half of last night's burger. So I toasted the bun, reheated the burger in the microwave, and added some onions and mustard.

I found this site and thought it might be of interest to others. http://vintagecookbooks.healthyeatingandlifestyle.org/index.html

...take the lid off of a pot of oil, that has gone beyond its smoke point, in the house. The smoke detector had to be disabled, all the windows had to be opened, etc... Should there be a next time, I will take the pot outside before removing the lid!
