Hurricane Irma

Hello Webrooters. We are keeping an eye on Hurricane Irma to see where it makes landfall. Looks like Florida is in the cross hairs of it now. Then by the looks of the tracking from the National Hurricane Center it will be going up the East Coast and make landfall again. Thoughts and Prayers for the people in Florida that are going to get a direct hit. Don't know what we are going to get here in the Virginia Beach area. We are also looking at the track of Hurricane Jose right behind Irma. We are making all preparations to evacuate the area if the track changes. 😉

Recipe: Cheesy Zucchini Eggplant Bake

We’ve had a weird turn of weather lately. Ordinarily, August is one of our hotter months, with 90-100° days and whispers about wildfires and drought. But it’s been storming a lot lately in Colorado, bringing cooler temperatures to the high desert, as well as soggy commutes and hail damage. Any time temperatures drop like this, my body starts craving cold weather foods. I’ll drag the slow cooker out of the cabinet for hearty soups, stews, and chilis, or break out the cast irons or ceramic casserole dishes for oven-baked goodies. This recipe is one of my all-time faves for the weather, making use of some delicious fall and winter squashes. It even has the comfort-food factor of a lasagna, but without the added calories of noodles (tasty though they are.) Time to pop one of these babies in the oven and curl up with some hot tea and a good book. Photo and recipe modified from Bon Appetit. Cheesy Zucchini-Eggplant Bake Ingredients: 1 large globe eggplant 2 large zucchini and/or summer squas

Useful humour

The British have a habit of using humour as a teaching aid. This Commercial was shown on UK commercial TV to widen knowledge of what was then a new version of CPR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD2qTmDsiHk

Amazon.com - Kenmore

Wow. After joking about Amazon buying Sears, this hit me in my unshaved face this morning: https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/06840702-07b2-3183-b50f-a13051112e32/here%27s-why-amazon-selling.html My wife quipped that Amazon won't be having drones delivering clothes washers; however, I pictured pallets with parachutes being shoved out the rear cargo door of C-130's.

Recipe: Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Although I’m no stranger to Caribbean cooking, jerk seasoning is one I’ve always shied away from. I’ve seen it done extremely well and extremely poorly, and the difference was not something I could quite put my finger on. The sweet/spicy nature of a good jerk seasoning always struck me as a delicate balance, and one that has to be well-supported by other flavors, without overpowering. Somehow, I managed to get incredibly lucky over the last couple years. Not only did I find me a fancy fella who thinks I’m the bee’s knees, but this delightful man ALSO COOKS. (How lucky am I? Seriously!) Maybe it’s my feelings talking over my taste buds, but the best jerk chicken I've ever tasted—spicy, smoky, tangy, sweet, and deliciously aromatic—is his recipe. He was kind enough to share it with me, and now, dear readers, I shall share it with you. Notes before you get started: For maximum flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight. If you’d rather avoid mincing everything (I don’t blame you), just us

Recipe: Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

This past weekend, my dad visited me out here in Colorado. My dad’s not much of a cook, so I thought it’d be nice to do a couple simple homemade meals for him during his trip. (Yes, I know parents are supposed to give you an excuse to go out. We did plenty of that too, I assure you.) For a decadent Sunday brunch, I decided to make mimosa floats with mango sorbet, and this grilled skirt steak and chimichurri recipe, served alongside over-easy eggs. Sure, that might sound complicated off-hand, but it took maybe half an hour to prepare. It’s so quick and easy, and this versatile chimichurri recipe works great with any cut of meat or fish, and can also be served as a dip for tortilla chips. Keep this one in your recipe file because, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be using it all summer long. Photo poached grandbaby-cakes.com. Recipe is by me. Skirt Steak with Avocado Chimichurri Yield: 4-6 servings Ingredients: MEAT 1½ lb skirt steak (about ½" thick), cut it in half crosswise Salt and

"James Bond" actor, Roger Moore dies at 89.

Actor Roger Moore of James Bond fame has died at age 89. For me, he was always the quintessential James Bond. I suspect it depends on your age, though. To many it's Sean Connery, whom I believe is still alive. BD

Recipe: Pancit with Pork, Chicken, and Shrimp

My dear readers, it is my distinct honor to present to you my rendition of an old family recipe. Before I get into it, a little background… I was raised by my godmother. Dory is a wonderful, warm-hearted soul whose delight is osmotic, whose sharp voice cuts clear through any inclination to misbehave, whose clever hands always smell of freshly chopped ginger, whose accent and charming malapropisms are a never-ending source of humor and good-natured ribbing. When I was little, she taught me folk songs—which I can still sing—in her native language. She’d dutifully stock a notepad and pen in her purse so that I could draw whenever I was bored (usually during Sunday mass…) She’d chaperone me to the roller-skating rink, crochet afghans while I did Tae Kwon Do, wrench my wild hair into tight braids for school picture day, and neatly arrange birthday cards and Polaroids of all my childhood mile markers in big leather photo albums. “For my remembrance,” she’d say. Dory would also pack my lunch
