I just wanted to share some amazing sneakers that I want. My friend Anthony showed them to me and I can't stop thinking about them! Who's up for a BBQ?
First of all please allow me to apologize for the picture quality. My camera was dead when I went to take a picture, and we were far to hungry to wait for the battery to charge, so I used my iPhone. It’s not terrible, but it is not great either. Now… to the food!!! I originally wanted to try this dish with duck breast but it seems that, even at Whole Foods I can't find any duck breasts. I did find a rather large whole duck, but I didn't get it because it would obviously be too much! So I went for chicken breast. Since I was looking to have that fatty flavor that duck naturally gives out I chose to get the chicken breast (3 breasts) with skin on. I couldn’t find skin on without bones, so I had to debone the breasts at home. It’s really easy to do. You just guide your knife along the rib cage and you’re all set. First preheat your oven to 375 and get started on your rice. I chose brown rice, but any rice you prefer will be fine for this dish. I followed the directions on the bag,...
I'm the 1% that hate Truffles! Are you gasping? Most people do when I tell them that, but it's true. I hate truffles. I understand why people like them, but I don't know why people love them so much it leaves them speechless when they find out I am not a fan. I also don't know why I am the only one. If you are not sure what a truffle is, click here for a little info. I was at a party last Halloween at a restaurant where a bunch of my friends had also gone to celebrate. Of course I was at the bar for the evening sipping on my wine with a few friends while a new friend of mine named Sandy was sitting with other friends having dinner. I stopped over to say my goodbyes before I left and Sandy was so into her Risotto, she gathered a forkful and rushed it into my mouth. It was Truffled, and I calmly told her I hated it. While Sandy was feeling sorry, the look of confusion on her face was even more evident. Her response was more than typical. My husband, P2 , li...
A few days ago P2 and I were waiting in line to check out at Whole Foods in Chelsea and we saw a jar of Coconut Oil. It looked like a jar of shortening. We picked it up because my brother Barry had told it it is really healthy, but it didn't seem like it at all. It's LOADED with saturated fat. Loaded with all kinds of fat. We were very confused as to why this would be a viable alternative to butter or other oils. My brother who told us this was healthy is a strict follower of The Paleo Diet. This diet basically adheres to the way a caveman would eat. All natural of course with lots of meat and veg. Very low carb, no beans, or legumes, and no wheat. That's just a basic outline. The diet seems to be a bit on the fatty side, and I never understood it. Most fat is bad right? And we all know saturated fat is the devil, right? One of the most common ingredient in this diet is Coconut Oil. It replaces things like butter an other oils to cook with. He showed it to me once bu...
