“Cook up a giant batch of posole in your slow cooker, and after an all-day simmer you’re in for a dinner packed with warm spices, rich flavors, and meaty shredded chicken. Just don’t forget the toppings. A squeeze of lime juice, crunchy radishes, fresh cilantro, and crumbled tortilla chips are the final touches that make this Mexican-inspired classic sing.“ added 12-25-2023
“You know it's a real traditional meal in the English-speaking Caribbean when you are presented with a dish of fragrant oxtail stew. The slow-cooked dish is always dense with flavor and "more-ish," meaning a second helping is the norm. Typically, it's seasoned with browning, a sauce prepared using a burned-sugar technique that imparts a hint of caramelized flavor. I suspect (as do others) that, during the plantation era, tails were leftovers after slaughter and given to the enslaved. Today though, for anyone from the Caribbean, oxtail stew means family, friends, and home. —Jessica B. Harris, author of High on the Hog (Bloomsbury, 2011)“

“Creamy white sauce, known as a bechamel in the culinary world, is made by using equal amounts of butter and flour, which are cooked together to form a roux. Once the roux has formed, milk, cream, or broth is slowly added to complete the sauce. This basic white sauce is one of the five mother sauces and is the starting point for many other sauces. Classic bechamel is a rich, creamy, lump-free sauce that is very high in fat.”

“A little fresh goat cheese and a touch of butter are just enough to make this spinach soup silky, creamy and a little nutty--but not enough to overdo it. We use dark green spinach for this soup because of the lovely color it produces, though you could use red-veined spinach and have just as good a flavor in a more Army-inspired khaki color.” Added 12-06-2023

“The original recipe called for 2 cups of shortening, something like Crisco. As I mentioned it’s the only main component I revised; I’ve found that substituting that amount of shortening with 1 cup of butter and a cup of shortening gave them a better taste but also kept the great texture I loved.
“The ingredient list is simple too; although I did have to add shortening to my grocery list since it’s not a staple in my house. Crisco now makes some nice packaged containers that are easy to measure; no more messing with a big can anymore.” Added 11-21-2023
