YouTube - Cookin' with Coolio #1: Coolio Caprese Salad

YouTube - Cookin' with Coolio #1: Coolio Caprese Salad

Love it. Brilliance. I'm going to have to buy his cookbook.

Sweet & Sour Kielbasa

okay, for today's Sunday afternoon dinner: Sweet & Sour Kielbasa

- I use smoked sausage instead of kielbasa because I like it more and the only kielbasa I really like is the homemade-by-a-Polish-grandmother kind...

Ingredients:
1.5lbs of smoked sausage (amount optional)
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1 orange pepper
1 Vidalia onion (or Empire, or Walla Walla, etc. SWEET.)
2 stalks of bok choy
2 stalks of celery
2 10oz jars of LaChoy Sweet & Sour sauce. Not making my own sauce today.

Warm oven to 350F.
Chop the veggies into bite-size pieces.
Slice the sausage into bite-size pieces.

a) boil smoked sausage until it's thoroughly warm
b) empty pot, set aside sausage in a casserole dish
c) in pot, put a bit of olive oil and all of the vegetables; saute until mostly cooked
d) combine veggies & sausage & sweet and sour sauce into casserole dish
e) bake @ 350F for 30 minutes or so

I have no pineapple today, otherwise I'd add that, too.

Got this recipe from a friend of mine at work. Most excellent.

Tartiflette Recipe – French Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese

Tartiflette Recipe – French Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese

I still really really want to make this. Need to find a substitute fro Reblechon, as I'm not sure I can get this in the US without ordering it from France.

Deck Garden

In the spirit of fresh, local ingredients, I have my own burgeoning vegetable gardens. One on the back deck, one over at my uncle's house in the center of down.

I took pictures of the deck garden today and put them here.
