Week Night Dishes from DenverPost Life & Culture 2022-10-26 had a crave for stuffed pasta shell. It was from ‘Five Recipes that you will crave’ our of NY Times and written by Emily Weinstein ‘Week night dishes’. Assemble stuffed shells earlier in the day and […]
DenverPost’s 2022-10-25 Life and Culture has apples as savory accompaniment to Roasts. Specific to Pork roast. What is your thought on fruit with Roasted meats? Hmm. For myself – the twist here – is to keep the apples roasted on the savory path, Not sweet. […]
Bill St. John in Denver Post’s Life and Culture 2022-10-26 writes about apples and Pork Shoulder. This is a great lead into the the Pork that was ordered from Marczyk’s. The four pound Porchetta was picked up Saturday 10/21 with great anticipation. Opening the brown butcher paper the pork was scored, rolled and tied. Perfectly. The presentation showed kitchen skills. It was roasted for nearly 4 hours at 275F. Slow and long for the pork cap to melt into the meat. I have saved the rendered fat for another time. the Porchetta consists of belly, loin, tenderloin, rib meat, a little shoulder, and sirloin, all cavorting with spices, herbs, and garlic. , To finish the roast – it was drained off and returned to the oven in 450F oven. the skin was scored in diamond pattern and started to crisp up. Delightful.
Just like it sounds.. I cant think what that may be once it warms up, However it appears to be trending well. Todays DenverPost 2022-10-26 calls butter boards ‘the polarizing step child of charcuterie’. ‘It is a TikToc new food Craze’. I am a bit […]

Morning Golf is the holiday treat for today. To beat the heat – a quick nine holes was in order. This is followed by Huevos Rancheros at the Kennedy golf course club house. The Pico de Gallo is freshly made with just enough jalapeno for the second beat the heat of the day. The greens are plush and breakfast at the club house is worth the stop.
Friday we had breakfast for dinner. Pancakes are easy and quick to make. Prep time was about 5 minutes and they looked so good – so did not even make it to the plate. After blanching and pealing the peaches – it seemed to make […]
Maize is the article from Bill St. John in Life & Culture today 2022-08-10. Interestingly we were just at the western slope for Peaches. it is hot and hot means peak corn on the cob season.
Points from Bill St John include :
Cob of corn has about 800 kernels. Hmm.. Who counted? Corn Grows on every continent except Antarctica. A Believable fact.
Cooking Corn? I like to soak the corn in water, leave the husk ears on and slow roast whole.
Glorious way to celebrate the Season from Saveur. It is still hot today. Tomatoes are abundant. Nothing like plucking a tomato from the vine and eating while warm and dusty. Yumm. This summer salad showcases sweet peak-season tomatoes, which play well with mint and olive […]
