Paul "Chile" Brown is excited about a new dish:
Man I am alive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zukerman potatoes and Three Twisted Sister's Bacon from Chandler. Going to fire up the smoker with some beef ribs and beef loin. I got some applewood chunks off of E-bay. The kroppkakor is a Swedish Potato and Bacon Dumpling. I have a new book called "A World of Dumplings "
The book looks interesting, making dumplings is something I've had decent success with, but I've never really taken the time to really make the effort to perfect my technique.
Here's Paul's finished dish, sadly he didn't invite me over... I got a lot of good emails, y'all have been cooking up a storm!!!
"A World of Dumplings???" Someone actually wrote a book with that title?
I'm getting the feeling that Chilebrown is way serious about his food. Very cool.
It is tough being on vacation. Tonight Jamaican Jerk Chicken. (home grown habaneros). They will be served with Home made tamales. These tamales will have fresh corn in the masa and bacon,chili's and Jack cheese for the filling. They will be grilled on the barbeque. O Boy!!!
Man, what's vacation??? Our idea of vacation has been cross country moving, or having a wedding. Both of those were great, but the idea of having a week to just hang out and cook seems really luxurious.
I forgot the most important part. The ribs and loin were rubbed with Survival Spice. The house smells like tamales right now.

Mr. & Mrs. Pragmatic Chef are comin' to Chile's house. To live. Forever.
Hey Julie,
You just got married! Calm down! Come down and visit first. Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair (Scott McKenzie). Then you will realize that everything you have heard is true. Peace, Paul!
What? We didn't JUST get married. Jeez. It's been TWO MONTHS!
But yeah, I'll do the flowers in the hair thing. I'm gonna go big. Sunflowers.
