I received a couple of squab last evening, on the hoof as it were. I was just going to sautee the breasts in butter and sherry. Any other thoughts on how to do this would be appreciated.:chef:

I had a bounty of small peppers this year in the garden and so with last week's frost I pulled the plants. Yesterday I remembered how Dad used to make peppers stuffed with sauerkraut. So, even though these peppers were too small to stuff I cleaned a bunch of them (Thai Chilis and Habaneros)...

One of my favorite summertime treats happens only for a short time in June. I pick fresh black (purple to some) raspberries, wash them, spread them generously over French vanilla ice cream, add a short squirt of Hershey's syrup and a shot of Godiva Chocolate liquer. Life is good when the...

This past weekend I smoked some rainbow trout. My usual brine for salmon consists of 2 cups Kosher salt, 2 cups brown sugar and 4 gallons of water. I brined the fish for 36 hours. That usually works for salmon fillets but these smaller trout turned out really salty. My question is too...
