It has been a while since I have done roast chicken. One thing this blog has done for me (to me?) is to force me to test the bounds of flavors. I have been making Sichuan pepper shrimp and it has been very popular with my family. I decided to try this seasoning with a whole chicken.

Karl’s Shire Hens in Apple Wine
Eilene is having her friends over again and she has requested lembas bread and Lord of the Rings stew. I did not want to make the same one that I made last time, but none of the ones on-line struck my fancy.

Karl’s Pollo Picante Samsa
The other day, Eilene complained that it has been a long time since I have made samsa. I have filled these baked pocket breads with lamb and spinach in the past and they are very popular in my house. I thought about mixing the lamb and the spinach versions, but Jan rejected that idea.

Karl’s French Chicken Salad Croisandwich
I am not sure that this even counts as a recipe.
I have leftover Karl’s French Chicken Salad from last night. I usually try to have leftovers from my meals, so that someone (or several) can have a nice lunch the next day. Jan wanted crackers with her serving of chicken salad. I decided to put mine on a croissant.

Karl’s French Chicken Salad Wraps
I have leftover roast chicken, from last night. By itself, the chicken is moist and flavorful. The question is, “What to do I do with it?”

Karl’s Rosemary Roasted Chicken
I have been doing a lot of Asian food lately and I asked Jan if she would like roast chicken. Of course, she said, “Yes,” and she said she wanted coleslaw to go with it. I also had some marble potatoes that I decided to roast at the same time I cooked the chicken.

Karl’s Turkey Rancher’s Pie II
Note: Today, I am posting a soft food shepherd’s pie and I mention in my discussion that I had made one earlier for Thanksgiving. I realized that I had never posted the recipe.

Karl’s Chickyssoise
This is Christmas Day and we went to Tai Pan in Palo Alto for dim sum. They do an excellent dim sum for Christmas (but make your reservation well in advance, we almost waited too long). With all of that rich food, we knew that we would want something simple for dinner.

Karl’s Turkey Mulligatawny
Turkey Mulligatawny is a childhood memory. Every year, that I can remember, my mother, Claudia, would make it with the carcass of the Thanksgiving turkey. It is, however, as Indian as chop suey is Chinese. Simply, not something a native cook would make.

Karl’s Turkey Italian Stew
Jan has been sick for the last few weeks, so I have been making a lot of chick soup. Since it is November and turkey necks are available and cheep, I decided to switch it up and make turkey stew. Three necks make for a hearty stock, but I am tired of noodles. Cannellini beans led me to think of this one as Italian.
