You know how The Goddess is always nattering on about leftovers, well this is why she loves, loves, lovers her leftovers. Remember the Shrimp-Corn Chowder with Bacon and Scallions? Well, this recipe uses that chowder as a sauce for this dish…. Continue reading
The Goddess absolutely adores condiments. At any given time, her fridge is bursting at the seams with such wonders. Relishes, chutneys, preserves, and pickles add something truly wonderful to sandwiches, a charcuterie platter, toast, meats or simply eat it with a spoon.
Fruit relishes are a wonderful way to preserve have the summer flavors on the autumn and winter table. I love these with Thanksgiving turkey and don’t get me started on how good this relish is on a turkey sandwich. Not only that, fruit relishes are relatively easy.
The summer always brings out my “canning and preserving” gene. I got this gene from both sides of my family and I’m so glad I did. The summer bounty offers up countless pickling opportunities. Pickled Bing Cherries are one of the best.

A fresh fruit salsa is delicious and a lovely way to use perfect, in-season fruit. This recipe is a good basic starting point, but jump off the flavor cart and come up with your own combinations.
Rum Pot is such a nice gift to give yourself for Christmas. It’s an even better gift to give to your holiday guests. The fruit is wonderful served with ice cream, over pound cake or bread pudding or in a bowl with a spoon…just as long as you’re not driving! Then there’s the liqueur. But, you need to start a Rum Pot in the summer.

I probably shouldn’t be calling this Sicilian Eggplant, since I’m not only not Sicilian, hell, I’m not even Italian. This may seem like it has non-Italian flavors, but we need to remember that the Moors “visited” Sicily for quite a number of years. Therefore, this has many of the flavors they left behind, after they moved on. You know, things like raisins, pistachios and cumin. It matters not what those flavors are, it’s still darned delicious.
You may have heard rumor that The Goddess has a torrid affair going. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it, The Spicy Honey knows all about my relationship with eggplant. I love it (and him!) in any and every form, but roasted (not him!) is I think perhaps, my favorite.
