#1 Jamie Oliver’s Thai Chicken Laksa

They say that while the king and his noblemen feasted on large portions of meat, the peasants were content to take the leftover meat scraps to make hearty soups or stews to feed themselves and their families.  It has also been said that the servants actually enjoyed better health and lived longer because they consumed less meat, ate more vegetables, and the broth was good for their innards. { Heard that on a televised documentary. I don't get Time magazine anymore. }

I fancy most soups, but particularly chicken soup.  Plus Jamie Oliver believes in healthy eating.  This sounds marvelous!!  Take this to a soup party and there won't be any leftovers to take back home. 

    #2 Taiwanese Three Cup Chicken

    This recipe has three key ingredients: sesame oil, Chinese rice wine, and soy sauce. The word “cups” means these ingredients should be in equal ratio; not a literal measurement.  You will enjoy learning this interesting food history.

      #3 Hot Chicken is a Favorite in Nashville

      Hot chicken is extremely popular fun food and it has an interesting history.  One legend says it was invented in Nashville, Tennessee, during the Great Depression. 

        #4 Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup

        Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my favorite soups.  Instant Pot seems to have become a favorite small kitchen appliance that many of my friends are using for cooking.  An easy recipe for my favorite soup using Instant Pot?  I should pass this on to my friends to prepare and hope they invite me over to enjoy it.  LOL.

        Irresistible Party Food: Deviled Eggs Recipes for Halloween

        It's that time of the year again. Are you making your final preparations to celebrate the Halloween holiday? When not working on my blogs, my online activity sometimes involves chatting with friends on myLot.com, a social network that pays you to make friends and engage in friendly banter.


        A member at that site asked what would I bring to a party. My response was two things: a fruit platter and deviled eggs. The question brought back a memory about all the church fellowships I've attended and all the office parties at my old jobs. Somebody always remembered to bring deviled eggs and that tray was usually the first party food to disappear! Decided to find some Halloween themed deviled eggs recipes to share. Hope you like them!!

        Popular Diets. Which is Best? French, Greek or Japanese?

        Eat like zee French!  NO!  Like the Greek!  No No!  Like the Japanese!  

        • Some say eat like the French. They knosh on cheese, drink red wine by the gallon, and cook with butter. They say it’s a healthy diet.

        • Some say eat like the Greeks. It’s that Mediterranean diet. They use lots of olive oil and eat yogurt. It’s a healthy diet.
        • Finally, others say we should eat like the Japanese. They claim the Japanese people live longer because they eat a lot of fish and pickle their vegetables.

        Which country's diet have you copied?  Or do you just eat whatever is put on the table and ask no questions?

        America’s food scene reflects a lot of cultural diversity so I can eat French, Greek, or Japanese. I don’t know if it will help me live longer, but the food sure does taste good! ☺

But impresses me. At least there are some people out there who like the EES tweets. Apparently, people really like avocados. LOL.

        Use of Spices Explained for Foodies by Chris Donald (Guest Post)

        To make the food good and very much palatable you will need to use the spices as well as various condiments. These spices will make the food more appealing and for sure there is no way that you can eat food which is bland and non-spicy.

        The herbs and spices that need to be added to the food to make it tasty will be based on two things and these are the freshness of spices as well as proper quantity.



        Proper mix or proportion is very important for the addition of spices. Most of the spices come in the powdered form or in the leaves form.


        The compatibility of spice with certain types of food is a must to know. You should know which spice to use with which food. This operates on the same principle as the wine does which is you should know what wine to serve with what kind of food.

        There is no sure shot method of the quantity which can be used in the food. Your help for the quantity is the online food sites as well as recipe books available all over. Make sure that you do not add more spices because more is generally not acceptable but less is acceptable.

        If you are reading the recipe books they generally tend to border on the more commercial side of things which means the quantities and styles are more over the top. You may need to use your own estimate for the home cooked food.

        For keeping the freshness intact of the spices make sure that you buy the good brands which have good packaging as well as make sure that once you have opened them that you seal them properly to retain the flavor and the aroma.

        First Food and Drink Experiences: Chai Tea


        I was binge-watching a Turkish television series, set in 19th century Istanbul, and in one of the scenes, the man offered a drink to the two ladies at the table with him. Neither lady trusted him but they didn't want to be rude, so they accepted the cup that he poured. He said that people should be willing to experiment and try new things and that he wanted to introduce them both to a new drink he discovered from India. Chai tea!

        As I'm watching the program, I'm going: “Oh! Oh! Chai tea! I know what that is!!”

        My husband is from The Bahamas, but he needed to stop drinking coffee for health reasons and started trying different types of teas. In the course of his experimentation, he discovered chai tea and introduced it to me.

        I must say it does have an exotic flavor. I like it!

        ~ Any chai tea drinkers out there?

        ~ Are there different ways you choose to enjoy this delicious combination of herbs and spices in drink form?

        I found a turmeric-chai-latte recipe.

        Do you have you own chai tea recipe?  Recipe Sharing.
