...burning incense to mask reality's stench since 1986.
Kramer and Poppie in the kitchen of the restaurant, making the first 'test pizza.'
KRAMER (in a chef's hat and apron): See, anybody can do this.
POPPIE: Use your wrist! It's all in the wrist. Not too high!
KRAMER (puts the dough on the counter): Alright, put a little sauce on here... Some cheese...
POPPIE: Not too much!
KRAMER: And...cucumbers!
POPPIE: Wait a second...what is that?
KRAMER: It's cucumbers.
POPPIE: No, no. You can't put cucumbers on a pizza.
KRAMER: Well, why not? I like cucumbers.
POPPIE: That's not a pizza. It'll taste terrible.
KRAMER: But that's the idea, you make your own pie.
POPPIE: Yes, but we cannot give the people the right to choose any topping they want! Now on this issue there can be no debate!
KRAMER: What gives you the right to tell me how I would make my pie?
POPPIE: Because it's a pizza!
KRAMER: It's not a pizza until it comes out of the oven!
POPPIE: It's a pizza the moment you put your fists in the dough!
KRAMER: No, it isn't!
POPPIE: Yes, it is!

My collection is nowhere near completion. Editing takes time. Time is something of which I have little to spare. So, I've selected ten tried, tweaked and true recipes that I will post on my blog over the course of this week.

Over the course of the past couple of months, I have been researching and developing recipes for my Halloween/Fall Cookbook. This project was born of a desire to put together something of my own in homage to my favourite time of year. All of them have been through the Rue's test kitchen in some shape or form.

I've been working on my Halloween recipe book for a little over a month now. When I was working on developing this recipe for the pot luck yesterday, I thought it would be cool to add it to my Autumn/Halloween cookbook. It's devil's food cake studded with blood-red cherries. I jokingly said out loud:
What could I possibly call this, the devil takes her cherry?

We're going to friends for a Pot Luck dinner. The hostess has decided that the theme is 'Red'. The hostess suggested I bring dessert. Dessert?!

Jagerschnitzel, very much like cacciatore and chasseur, means in the style of the hunter, specifically in this case, schnitzel, or breaded cutlet. The style of the hunter refers to 'with mushrooms', since mushrooms were traditionally foraged in the woods by hunters.

It's general knowledge to my readers that I am in love with Angelina. A smaller circle of friends know about my schoolgirl crush on Nigella, but I don't think I've ever told anyone about my reverence for Delia.
Like many others before me, Delia taught me How to Cook.
I look forward to trying my hand at one of our pub favourites:
Steak and Kidney Pudding with Steak and Kidney Gravy
I can hardly wait. Now to find a really good butcher....

We had friends over for dinner last night. I was so looking forward to it, and wouldn't you know it me and the girls got struck with a head cold. I felt alright during the whole dinner prep. Washed my hands raw for obvious reasons, but I am afraid we may have infected our guests anyway. Well, Boo may very well have!

Having already checked out the Italian, Mediterranean, and European markets, today's adventure took place at the Oriental Supermarket. This store had almost everything my little heart desires!
This supermarket offers a full line of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, East and West Indian, and Latin market items.
I've never seen such a vast array of reasonably priced specialty items.
I could have gone nuts in there. I chose instead to get only what I needed for this weekend's vietnamese spring rolls. I'm referring specifically to the fresh and not the deep-fried variety.
The fresh, soft, aromatic filling of meat, vermicelli, lettuce, basil and mint rolled up in rice paper and dipped in a black bean/chili sauce.
I of course had to get myself a new tin of gunpowder green tea, and, Bee & Flower Rose and Sandalwood soaps, and fresh lemongrass.
Now I just need to find a store that stocks Johnson's Baby Cologne!

I made tagliatelle alla Bolognese with my family yesterday.
It was my first time ever and the result was astoundingly amazing. Textbook. The Punkin supervised. Notice the look on her face.
"I hope Boo washed her hands...."

“A philosopher once wrote you need three things to have a good life. One, a meaningful relationship, two, a decent job of work, and three, to make a difference. And it was always that third one that stressed me, to make a difference. And I realise that I do. Every day, we all do. It’s how we interact, with our fellow man.â€
