My usual pattern of having the family over for dinner was disrupted by Captain America. We went to the movie and had deli dinner over at the kids’ place (yes, she’s 28 now, but she’s still our titmouse). I brought the dried meats, bread and cheese, Miriam provided the fruit and veggies.

Eilene is having friends over for Tuesday night shows and I always try to make something exotic for them. Looking at the recipes for Game of Thrones, they are either too simple, too complex, or take too long to make.

Safeway had a sale on frozen crab legs last week and I thought I would make a crab something. Jan was not feeling like crab at the time so I left them frozen. I remembered that I had them and I thought I would make seafood bisque today.

One of the joys of a St. Patrick’s Day meal of corned beef and colcannon is having corned beef hash the next day. In New England, they add beets to make it “Red Flannel Hash.” Personally, I think this is gilding the lily and not something a Californian, like myself, would be inclined to do.

I do not pretend that this is an authentic Irish recipe. It is more of a California Fusion revamp of the original. I doubt that chicken broth or garlic were readily available in a traditional humble Irish cottage. That being said, there is no reason not to make it as traditional as possible.

As I have researched various recipes I have come across many references to Seville sour oranges. I was in Real Produce yesterday and, for the first time, there they were. I had to buy them, although I had no idea what I would do with them.

Hushpuppies are a Southern fried cornbread. Many recipes call for self-rising flour (both corn and wheat). These are not always available, but they are easy to make.

I am having a crowd over tonight. Stitches is in town so the aunties, Pat and Barbara, are in from Fresno overnight. Miriam and Chris decided to come tonight so they could see them too. Having more people to dinner means more food restrictions. Pat does not eat pork or beef and Barbara will not touch tomatoes. Miriam needs soft foods and Chris does not eat starches.

Jan loves pie. Miriam loves pie. Eilene loves pie. Guess what Jan is making to go with my roasted pork for dinner.

Every Christmas for more than the last decade I have made marmalade as a giveaway. I would make 40-60 twelve ounce jars at a time. It always takes several days to process and cook all of that jam.
