Culinary – A Haiku
To cook is to love
For food is the fuel to live
And the art of life.

Homemade Pizzas
Posted: August 10, 2014 in FoodTags: Food, Home Cooking, Italian food, Pizza, Recipes
There is nothing better than putting your own pizzas together using fresh ingredients from the garden.
I used my own fresh basil for the Margarita pizza which is basically pizza sauce, tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella.
The Hawaiian pizza has fresh pineapple which is 100 times better than canned. The Hawaiian has pizza sauce, fresh pineapple, Canadian Bacon, and mozzarella.
The last one is my take on a supreme with pizza sauce, Italian sausage, Pepperoni, fresh mushrooms, onions, garlic, yellow pepper, and black olives.

Ok, foodies! Here is a wonderful meal. I recently checked out Wichcraft by Tom Colicchio from the library. It is the ultimate sandwich book in my opinion. Also, I checked out Rosalind Creasy’s Recipes From The Garden. The recipes to both of these dishes are available in these books. Happy cooking!

School Food Scam- United States
Posted: March 31, 2014 in Education, News CommentaryTags: Education, Food, free lunch, government waste, news, school lunch, tax
Everyday all over America children are wasting free food that is provided by tax payers. The food manufacturers are in bed with the school systems and government. They sell units and receive credits for each unit. In other words, money. In one school alone, anywhere between 10 to 20 gallons a milk go to waste daily, and close to 50 or more pounds of food. When you add up how many schools are giving away breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this adds up to a ton of money for food manufacturers, and a lot of wasted tax dollars. Worse yet, this food could feed the truly hungry.
I took this photo before this food was thrown away. Several of these plates went into the trash. Perfectly good food. If you are homeless or hungry, a school dumpster is a great place for food. I wish American’s would get pissed off like Martin Luther King, Jr. or Ralph Nader, and rally against the crime of a broken system. It is ridiculous!!

This is one of my favorite dishes to cook, especially when it is cold and you need extra protein and energy.
Here is the recipe for:
Irish Stew
Ingredients:
1.3kg/3 lbs boneless lamb or beef cut into chunks.
(It’s more authentic if you use lamb.)
1.5ml/1 tbsp. of vegetable oil
3 onions
1 lb of carrots
900 ml/3 3/4 cups water
10 red potatoes quartered
3 nice fresh Thyme sprigs or more to taste
3 tbsp. of butter
1 tbsp. of chopped fresh Italian parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat oil in large casserole or pot. Brown meat on all sides. Remove.
2. Quarter the onions, and slice the carrots about one inch thick. Cook them in pot for around five minutes until onions start to brown.
3. Return meat to pot with water, reduce heat, and simmer for one hour.
4. Add potatoes to pot with Thyme and cook one hour longer.
5. Turn stew off and let settle for ten minutes. Stir in butter.
6. Serve into bowls and top with fresh chopped parsley.
Enjoy!
Organic vs. Commercial Man-Made Food In Photos

Corporate producers of food want you to believe there is no difference between what they create, grow, or fatten up, and super size, versus what is happening naturally when an animal is on its own. Here are some photos that show there are differences. Often there is color and size differences. People are being super-sized by the chemicals added to their food. Buy and eat organic! Don’t be misled by those who want your money, but will let your health fall apart.
Wild Salmon deep coloration vs. Farmed Salmon with Dye Coloring added
Notice the farmed salmon is much fattier
Pastured Organic Free-Range Egg vs. Caged Up Commercial Farmed Bird Fed Man-Made Feed
Farm Raised Caged Chicken vs. Free Range Organic Chicken
Farmed chicken loaded with fat
Fertilized with man-made chemicals vs. Organic natural Strawberry
Almost all produce has been super-sized like this with fertilizer that harms you and the environment
Farmed-caged Feed Lot Beef (Fatty) vs. Free Range Beef (Where cows roam and eat grass)
Farmed Salmon top Vs. Wild Salmon bottom

Bee’s are our greatest friend’s, because they pollinate plants which keep us alive.
Protect them always!
Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish

Just to the North of Houston is a small town called Conroe. Conroe is home to Lake Conroe, one of the best fishing and recreational lakes about 40 miles north of Houston. Right off Hwy 105, in Conroe, is one of the best catfish restaurants in the state of Texas. This restaurant is called Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish. http://www.kuntrykatfish.com/
Not to be long on words, I will let the photos do the talking, but I can tell you this, you will not find better prices, and better catfish anywhere in Texas. The green tomato relish and hushpuppies are out of this world. Oh, and the waitresses and staff, fantastic!
This is EXOTIC food!
