Having said that however, taking a break from the computer every once in a while and simply enjoying being with family is a good thing, and now I am back, rejuvenated, and looking forward to creating some great...

We do have a couple of local grocery stores that stock fresh seafood brought in daily from the coast, so I am lucky enough to be able to buy great seafood when needed. One of our favorite seafood choices is whole fish, about one pound each that we either roast in the oven or cook on the grill as I do in this recipe. A one pound fish is...

After the first sighting of the balloons we learned that there was a hot air balloon festival that takes place for two weeks every July in Todi, which is a short drive from our farmhouses. The balloons tend to take off quite early as the atmospheric conditions have to be just right, and depending on the day they may...

You may wonder how something so simple could possibly taste so good, but it was the freshness of the seafood, and the quick cooking preparation that turned simple shrimp into amazing. The one thing I also loved about this dish when it was served to me... Read the whole entry » • Email to a friend • Article Search •

Simply Recipes Here is the Simply Recipes update for djuwettoo.fish@blogger.com There is 1 new post in "Simply Recipes" Chicken Drumsticks, Ethiopian Style Check out these Ethiopian chicken drumsticks from Hank Shaw! The berbere spice mix is outstanding. ~Elise This dish sounds a lot more exotic than it really is. It is a recipe I've been making, on and off, for 20 years, and it's nothing more than chicken drumsticks coated in oil or melted butter, dusted with a dry spice rub and baked — or slow-cooked on the barbecue. What makes this recipe Ethiopian is the spice mix, which is called berbere (ber-BERRY). I learned how to make it from my boss at the first restaurant I ever worked at, the Horn of Africa in Madison, Wisconsin. My boss, a tough old Eritrean named Meselesh Ayele (Eritrea used to be a province of Ethiopia, and is now an independent country), told me that berbere was the original curry, that the Indians copied the Ethiopians.
