Tonight (last night actually) didn’t quite work out like usual. We started recording while debating whether to eat in or order out. At the point the recording started we were fixated on ordering out. This lasted much too long and I eventually killed the recording. But we ended up making food in.

We had pizza and greek salad. Because we’ve recorded these before I decided not to do a repeat. Instead I’ve taken our ordering out dilemma and put it to music. Its not too long, but a bit abstract. Listen along and decide for yourself…Pizza or Chinese?

Tonight’s music was downloaded from the artist’s website:

• Winky by Charlie Hunter live at Yoshi’s in Oakland, CA.

From the kitchen today, we started with some cheddar stuffed mushrooms. We made some mods to that recipe and used 5 green onions instead of 1 onion, added 2 garlic cloves to the sauté, pecans instead of walnuts, used 1/2 c of parmesan reggiano with 1/2c of sharp cheddar to add some punch to the flavors as recommended by a recipe reviewer. Our main course was the Guadeloupe Chicken salad (we left out the red peppers since we didn’t have any) and made some blue cheese garlic bread, which was a yummy addition.

Recipe Follow-Up:

We reworked the mushrooms a bit for Saturday night by adding a bunch of capers and some more cheddar cheese. Those two were kickin’ additions, much better than when we first made them.

Also, if you’re interested in picking up a yummy, cajun spice blend, check out the online store at Coop’s Place. We picked some up some of their Bayou Blend when we were down in New Orleans because we liked it so much. Kris used some on the chicken to give it some kick. Overall, the salad was awesome. We mixed together some of the dressing, chicken, carrots and onions and let it marinade for a while, and served it on a bed of lettuce with some avocado wedges. We each like a different wetness to our salads so we left the remaining dressing on the side to dress each of ours to our own tastes. Devan likes his juicy

Let us know if you’d like any more comments/information on any of our recipes and we’d be happy to respond.

Recipe Follow-Up:

Calgary Hot Wings rocked! We followed the recipe exactly and wouldn’t change a thing. Be forewarned though, they are spicy. Our Sriracha sauce says hot chili sauce, and Kris isn’t sure if there’s a regular version that doesn’t say hot. If you prefer something milder you might want to try the regular, if it exists, or just reduce the amount of sriracha and/or crystal accordingly. We’re spice freaks so we love the spicy kick, until the next morning anyway

Recipe Follow-Up:

The pizza was yummy, although there was room for improvement. Kris loves her shrooms, but unfortunately, it made the pizza too juicy on top. We would recommend cooking the shrooms before you add them to the pizza. We’re going to try a vegetarian version with some zucchini and cook the veggies first. We’ll keep you posted on how that goes.
