In America, serving chicken usually has it cut in parts, severed at the joints. Drumsticks, wings, thighs. It has always been thus. Ask Colonel Sanders... A bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken at a party and you would ask what part do you want?
Chicken stew and soup often had the bones removed so there were no surprises.
It wasn't until a coworker who hailed from Trinidad invited me to a Roti shop to have some traditional food from her country.
Simple description: a Roti is wrapped meat and potato pie with curry spice.
It didn't come with a warning that the chicken was randomly chopped and guaranteed to have sharp bone fragments! Trips to a Roti shop were limited.



Next up... lunch at a Jamaican restaurant. They have chicken, rice, vegetable on a plate. Your chicken choice is dark meat or white meat. Expect it to be randomly chopped with a meat cleaver. At least with the Jamaican style chicken you can make out the bone fragments.

I wrote a blog in March about a concern for purchasing a 3-liter can of pure olive oil.
The concern was 'how many years would it take to consume 3-liters' and would it go rancid before I could use it up.

Gulp... it's gone. Four months later I had to buy another can.

Roughly converting from metric, my calculations say it's about one 8-ounce cup per week. That includes cooking/frying and salads.

My dad used to work in a grocery store when I was a kid and sometimes bring home Pomegranates. I have no idea how much they cost then, but now they are nearly $3 each now, unless you shop at Walmart where you can get them for less than $1 each. They probably had to reduce the price as no one was buying them.

So... I bought some and now I remember why I haven't had any for so many years. It's all about the amount of work to get those freaking little seeds out!

I did check out a video on the best way to do it as there are many different methods.
What I did find strange is they eat the seeds, where I sorta chew on them then suck the juice then spit out the seeds. Yeah, the flavor is tart.

My Nespresso machine finally came For anyone not familiar, its basically an espresso machine you use at home. I just had a cup of glorious wonderful caffeine loaded coffee goodness

(inspired of another blog. I'm not off my rocker)

I came across some YouTube videos of noodles made by hand. Two different styles were featured in the same video. One is a Chinese man who pulls them by hand and the other a Japanese man who slices them with a knife.

For years, I grew up on Italian style spaghetti noodles that I knew were 'extruded' through machine with round holes. The fresh noodles were then hung to dry.
Noodles I buy from the Asian market also appear to be made by machine. They take flat sheets of dough and pass them through a conveyor with a series of knives that slice the dough into uniform strips.

As seen in the video, the Chinese guy not only makes an amazing display of his artistry, he has a flare about the showmanship. Watching the performance was very entertaining.

Very impressive... Peter Song:

Without much luck at some of the smaller brick/mortar stores... yes, even Johnson's Gro and Save-A-Lot, and Big Lots... I lucked out at Walmart! I'm here to say that Sweet Relish is plentiful, but to look for Pickle Relish (dill), is more scarce than I imagined. Every store, had plenty of Sweet Relish, but none for Pickle Relish! So, I just gave up.... Then as I was at Walmart, shopping... I thought, what the heck, I was already in the aisles for spices/sauces... and there it was "PICKLE RELISH (dill)" sitting on the shelf... just as pretty as can be!

My idea of making some homemade Tartar Sauce, with a "twang, jaw clenching, savory bursts of flavors", that just might make the fried fish jump up and run away on their own!" Traditionally, Sweet Relish is typically used, but I got to take that other road.... and invite my taste buds, to the "edge" of my world! I can feel my jaws, starting to draw up, to the verge of locking up! Just thinking of that, is making my mouth salivate already. Whew!!! OK, people... I been thinking about this all day, and it ain't gonna stop, till put it all together... "I need a bib...."!!! hahaha Report later...

P.S. Got me some Jalapeno flavored Sweet Relish while I was there at Relish Heaven... (Walmart, aisles 6) ~JOHN~

I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away.

This year, to save me from tears, I'll give one to someone special.


Here's a song to go with it.
