<br />
Sorry I've been out for a while. I was growing this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaj_StCx33SjtwpC1rAe3Jszk8YuvYnvackhfuM9K_rKAkJUuq2eQWAmVp7Eti-7RzC1cE2mdLR6WpTbQIL7kESkMo__9QolA3W74ZCy6AVEu7QbVZ71rwVCTqDXBWaCezI4CJOOw7eOQ/s1600/IMG_0215.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaj_StCx33SjtwpC1rAe3Jszk8YuvYnvackhfuM9K_rKAkJUuq2eQWAmVp7Eti-7RzC1cE2mdLR6WpTbQIL7kESkMo__9QolA3W74ZCy6AVEu7QbVZ71rwVCTqDXBWaCezI4CJOOw7eOQ/s320/IMG_0215.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Yes friends....that is a real mustache.....your welcome<br />
Anyway, the sad part is that by the time you read this I will probably have shaved it off. Seriously, it's like someone glued a baby kitten to my face.<br />
<br />
Okay....so I decided to check out the farmer's market in Decatur, GA. It's the DeKalb Farmers Market....or so I thought.....<br />
<br />

This place is totally mine....I had no idea....<br />
<br />
So before we look around can I just say that I had a blog post all ready to go about a month ago. Oh yea, it was a recipe "inspired" by a Jamie Oliver dish (and by inspired I mean borrowed....and by borrowed I mean...I stole it) <br />
Anyway....the point of the story is..... I take all of my notes and photos with my phone....aaaaaannnnnddd my phone went to live with Jesus....so that post is gone for all eternity:(<br />
<br />
So this is my new phone's first trip to the market. She was so excited she took this picture by accident...<br />
<br />

Okay look I didn't choose...it was the mustache.....I know pumpkin is not something I have never cooked or seen but it's October.....and I plan to use it in a new and exciting way...I swear:)<br />
<br />
I'm gonna make pumpkin dumplings....actually I am making a southern fave....Chicken and Dumplings or....Chicken and Pumplins....as I call it!<br />
<br />
But for real there are like a million different kinds of pumpkins here....<br />

<br />
Dear Jesus, <br />
a.) I am sorry for killing this chicken<br />
b.) I am also sorry for comparing the chicken to my baby dog<br />
and <br />
c.) Please take good care of my phone. Oh and don't look through the pictures....and if you already did then just know that those strippers came over for bible study....the rest was not my idea.<br />
Amen<br />
<br />
So back to the chicken. Cook the bird just like the pumpkin....400 for 1 to 1 1/2 hours....or until a thermometer inserted reads higher than 145....<br />

Yeah Girl!! Work that tater! So my buddy Jason picked this up at the market in New York.....it's not photo shopped I swear....he doesn't know how to do that....nor do I. <br />
<br />
This must be what Eric Carmen was singing about on the<em> Dirty Dancing</em> soundtrack!<br />
"Hungry eyyyyes....one look at you and I'm craving some fries" Ha ha!!<br />
<br />
I guess you'll think twice next time you are at the market and you eat a couple of grapes before you pay for them! She's watching!<br />
<br />
<br />
So I delivered a cake to "only God knows where" Georgia last month and I hit the jack pot! A new market!!!!<br />
<br />

That's right. The Cobb International Farmer's Market....or as I like to call it....the mother ship!<br />
Let's do it!<br />
<br />
The first sign I see when I walk through the door is a <em>"sure sign"</em> that this place is not concerned for my safety...<br />
Read it....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUGkEuj56wjsBH3_ZY_e42VvQKu5Qa0wFhE82CGvH0pswxbKDvdyq8u61uZHtgTE-bTYbvXnlgrCIYBSRyVoY3vDY8DraT3OohgFYObfQlR7LYWif1b9bcvPq9ZaXCYIoXp18wG25heI/s1600/IMG_2603.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBUGkEuj56wjsBH3_ZY_e42VvQKu5Qa0wFhE82CGvH0pswxbKDvdyq8u61uZHtgTE-bTYbvXnlgrCIYBSRyVoY3vDY8DraT3OohgFYObfQlR7LYWif1b9bcvPq9ZaXCYIoXp18wG25heI/s320/IMG_2603.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />
Okay, I'm clearly wearing sneakers! What about me? Is it my fault I don't like to parade around a store with open toes....I'm not trying to get "grocery store feet"....if you don't know what that is I'm sad for you....I blame your Grandmother. Really I do.<br />
<br />
This sign should read "Attention customers wearing sneakers....feel free to bust your ass in any aisle of the store. Thanks, Management." Look, I don't have a whole lot of ass to be busting (it's genetic), but the little I have would like to stay on my lower back and away from the floor!<br />
<br />
Okay let's shop already!<br />
<br />
Weeeeeeeeeeee! <strong> LOOK</strong>!!!<br />
<br />

Is this named after those jeans? Oh wait that's Apple Bottom...so Apple Banana Jeans would be a whole different story if you know what I mean. If Apple Bottoms are for Baby Got Back then Apple Banana Jeans would be for Baby got Front! Ha ha....God I hope those are for men..... <br />
<br />
Okay I grabbed a couple more things and it's time to cook!!!<br />
<br />
Here is the recipe....<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Dinosaur Jelly</u></strong><br />
<br />
2 cups dinosaur plums, chopped<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1 T. lemon or orange juice<br />
<br />
<em>note: most of the time jelly or jam recipes call for pectin which helps the mixture to "gel" when it is cooked....but it can be hard to find so we are gonna skip it....</em><br />
<br />
<br />

It's Chinese broccoli and I have never cooked it.<br />
<br />
I have decided to make pizza! Move over Papa John....<br />
<br />
<u><strong>Gailan Pizza</strong></u><br />
<br />
1 <em>Nature's Own</em> Multigrain Sandwich Round (for the crust)<br />
1 bunch Gailan, rough chop<br />
1/2 of a white onion, chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic, chopped<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
water to simmer<br />
<br />
<u>Topping</u><br />
<br />
Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup)<br />
1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped<br />
1 T. chopped garlic<br />
fresh parsley<br />
fresh basil<br />
salt and pepper <br />
1 T. olive oil<br />
splash Balsamic vinegar<br />
<br />
Okay first we need to cook the Gailan.<br />
-Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil for a few minutes....just to soften...<br />
<br />

That's some major exfoliation!<br />
<br />
Let's cook!!!!<br />
<br />
Here is the recipe....<br />
<br />
Buddha's Stuffed Mushrooms<br />
<br />
1 large container of button mushrooms (about 20)<br />
1t. garlic<br />
1/4 of a yellow onion (chopped finely)<br />
1T. Buddha's hand zest<br />
1 cup whole white lump crab (Oh yeah)<br />
1/4 cup bread crumbs<br />
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
dash of white wine to deglaze<br />
<br />
Butter:<br />
1 stick butter<br />
1/4 cup olive oil<br />
1 T Buddha's hand zest<br />
<br />
Okay!<br />
So the first thing we have to do is wash the mushrooms and take off the stems.<br />
Then you want to heat a little olive oil in a pan and add the garlic, onion, stems, zest, and little salt and pepper.<br />
<br />

Now let's make the Buddha's Hand butter........they should sell that at <em>Sephora</em>;)<br />
So all you do is put all three ingredients in a pot and simmer for 10 minutes or so.....just to infuse the flavor!<br />
<br />

Don't put them away yet! I'm not done! This looks like exhibit A from <em>CSI India</em>!<br />
<br />
Let's make a drink!!! Here is the recipe!<br />
<br />
Buddha's Hand-gria (lol, it's not really sangria......but the name is funny)<br />
<br />
1 glass (6 oz) Sweet white wine (or dry white wine with a bit of simple syrup or a pack of <em>splenda</em>)<br />
1 T. Buddha's Hand juice<br />
soda water<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay so they say you can't juice this thing! Well Jack Lalanne will beg to differ!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8TV3XfzxWK7ahQTHlVt4gv07lAyoZX0D1527V8OUdNARj4WUeNWmHbVgY8usQCS4rvhMvA9MnVEukZjJqBtQLrjtLkNotgf7IUSe_ps67gpmyrsw14rs8gcs6I0vV5mkvTuEkMmeR5I0/s1600/IMG_2504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8TV3XfzxWK7ahQTHlVt4gv07lAyoZX0D1527V8OUdNARj4WUeNWmHbVgY8usQCS4rvhMvA9MnVEukZjJqBtQLrjtLkNotgf7IUSe_ps67gpmyrsw14rs8gcs6I0vV5mkvTuEkMmeR5I0/s320/IMG_2504.JPG" t8="true" width="239" /></a></div>First chop it into smaller pieces....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1H6jpIRPnP4ccccAUO9NdUNslkaKgEhPXGAjUzuOxAmcb26mnYGIyaFeoQhgIM_sia8mZhyPLWYhaBdUktNqhyUI7-khE2wYw0ymRTJgSbsTHbne330ZFdtadS0wJ9k0f9XySHUP0b5Y/s1600/IMG_2506.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1H6jpIRPnP4ccccAUO9NdUNslkaKgEhPXGAjUzuOxAmcb26mnYGIyaFeoQhgIM_sia8mZhyPLWYhaBdUktNqhyUI7-khE2wYw0ymRTJgSbsTHbne330ZFdtadS0wJ9k0f9XySHUP0b5Y/s320/IMG_2506.JPG" t8="true" width="239" /></a></div>And then run it through the juicer.....<br />
<br />
So the juice is tart and bitter but that's okay....we only use a bit..<br />
<br />
Mix the wine (or dry wine and <em>Splenda</em>) and hand juice first....<br />
<br />
Then split between two wine glasses, fill with ice, and then top with soda! Yay!<br />
<br />
<br />

Because the flavor of lychee is so delicate....I need to make something light so we don't lose the flavor...and I know just the thing....Granita!<br />
<br />
So Granita (pronounced like it is spelled or like gran-i-tay) is an icy treat from Italy. And it's toads easy to make....along with some other juices/drinks I found at the market...<br />

<br />
Okay here is the recipe....<br />
<br />
<strong>Lychee Granita</strong><br />
<br />
1/2 cup sugar<br />
1 cup coconut water<br />
1 1/2 cups lychee drink/juice (this comes in a can as well)<br />
1 cup aloe vera drink<br />
1/2 cup coconut milk<br />
1/2 cup fresh lychee, chopped<br />
toasted coconut for garnish<br />
<br />
Here we go...<br />
First we have to make a simple syrup...<br />
So bring the sugar and coconut water to a boil...<br />
<br />

Wow sometimes it just doesn't translate!<br />

This week I started on the "product" end of the farmer's market and damn did I score on material. I'm not sure who is in charge of translating product names into English but I think they should hire Rosetta Stone to consult....I hear she knows her shit!<br />

Okay enough....let's cook something.<br />
<br />
So this week I am thinking...Japanese. I love sushi. A couple weeks ago I bought this Mayo just to taste it...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRUdn6cVI5lSc23KbbngI2HwmIVJBYWW8Jy-x74kQYvtCoztN1hGG6V1N9xmt88S1K-0PCBTXEqxOU5IGlv2fxezv3-Whfd-knEGadBFUTy_3DH7ioQOhaSDERCIkeg-7RN_dxvGV7aBM/s1600/IMG_2176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRUdn6cVI5lSc23KbbngI2HwmIVJBYWW8Jy-x74kQYvtCoztN1hGG6V1N9xmt88S1K-0PCBTXEqxOU5IGlv2fxezv3-Whfd-knEGadBFUTy_3DH7ioQOhaSDERCIkeg-7RN_dxvGV7aBM/s320/IMG_2176.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>It's like the mayo you get at sushi places...a little sweet and totally different than American mayo. But!...I have decided to make a Southern fave....potato salad! Or tater salad. I always make potato salad with three different kinds of potatoes....red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and Jerusalem potatoes (purple potatoes)<br />
<br />
Here is the recipe....<br />
<br />
3 # potatoes<br />
8 oz. can whole water chestnuts<br />
1/4 cup Kewpie Mayonnaise<br />
1 T. rice wine vinegar<br />
2 t. Wasabi (you can get this is a little tube at the farmer's market)<br />
1 t. garlic chili paste (from the makers of Sriracha)<br />
1 t. Sriracha<br />
1/4 onion, diced<br />
salt and pepper<br />
sesame oil<br />
<br />
Oh...by the way...If the nutritional facts on the back of something are in a different language that you don't understand....then it's fat free...<br />
<br />

<br />
I start by roasting the potatoes....<br />
<br />

<br />
Look and the purple one...<br />
<br />

<br />
So toss the potatoes in a little sesame oil (about 2 Tablespoons) and a little salt and pepper<br />
Then roast them uncovered at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes or so...<br />

<br />
Anyways...I got both so I could compare and they both taste about the same....kind of cumcubery potatoish. I haven't fried anything yet on this blog so I'm thinking about frying this puppy.<br />
<br />
Joshua's Fried Crack ;)<br />
<br />
4 chayote squash, sliced<br />
1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 cup flour<br />
1/2 cup corn meal<br />
1/2 cup bread crumbs<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
white pepper<br />
ground mustard<br />
garlic salt or grandulated garlic<br />
<br />
Crack dip<br />
<br />
8oz. sour cream<br />
1 T. horse raddish<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
2t. whole grain mustard<br />
1 T. fresh dill<br />
1/2 t. ground mustard<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay! Let's do it. Just for the record this frying recipe can be used for other things as well....green tomatoes, fish, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />

You wanna cut that out and then cut slices about a quarter inch thick. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAITLYrmw5j20Fx1XKN0CJX_C6HtBv9yIPyCaOr2lot4rkVQezBFpkbiZEQaiOuF6uzdJypIfXOnIqc2HU68P9HroZX2bGh0AN4O1E986cjHq-1UYmFXS3LGkGlUgLhXqCjI2UFJNTaPs/s1600/IMG_2068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAITLYrmw5j20Fx1XKN0CJX_C6HtBv9yIPyCaOr2lot4rkVQezBFpkbiZEQaiOuF6uzdJypIfXOnIqc2HU68P9HroZX2bGh0AN4O1E986cjHq-1UYmFXS3LGkGlUgLhXqCjI2UFJNTaPs/s320/IMG_2068.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Now we have to get our fry station set up. I put the oil in a deep pot and turned it to medium high heat. <br />
Next, you need to mix the milk and eggs together and whisk....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeW0yL8B7ysSb1THC1y-mQXcU7PRVniUXZRDoRzt0QSGE8jTK_Ro_mTtKCiL1Hbq4Qp4fkv2ceNdja_6cqPsZ9D3I8_yCJ-0iHCo1exRsjaH8w789TgMXwdIW45ylO4m0VlA8BSdaOALA/s1600/IMG_2061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeW0yL8B7ysSb1THC1y-mQXcU7PRVniUXZRDoRzt0QSGE8jTK_Ro_mTtKCiL1Hbq4Qp4fkv2ceNdja_6cqPsZ9D3I8_yCJ-0iHCo1exRsjaH8w789TgMXwdIW45ylO4m0VlA8BSdaOALA/s320/IMG_2061.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>The flour goes on one plate by itself.....and the cornmeal and bread crumbs go together on another plate. The reason why I did not include a measurement for the seasonings is because this will be up to your discretion....I season things heavily (damn southerner!) but you can use as much as you like. You need to season the flour and the bread crumb mixture.<br />
<br />
Okay here is what it should look like....<br />
<br />

Since when did Jelly become so much of a hassel that it has to come in <em>portable</em> form.<br />
I can see it now.....<br />
<strong>friend</strong>: "I'm so glad you guys came to brunch!"<br />
<strong>me</strong>: " Yeah I was gonna bring the grape jelly that you love,but it wasn't portable....and we were just scared to bring the whole jar, ya know......maybe next time."<br />
<br />
Cray!<br />
<br />
Oh and thanks to my friend Lori MacAlpine-Smith for the new look of my blog! You rock boo!<br />
And thanks to the Breakfast BLT at Highland Bakery for the inspiration for the Sandwich of Life:)<br />
Lastly, thanks to my sister and brother-in-law for finding this awesome cookbook for me....<br />

And in the spirit of the holiday, I figure it is only right to show you my Easter treat. I found this at the Farmer's market....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjliZ7ZbKUKoM-pgOygUYF2wlBMRerEkLP5sumV0Yq7WElbEISLFFB8u52yUMmRjNmb29YWLUMMMzeBmstZMWlIOJO_nBxZbQf-WCGzbEcAmmWFiAHnDp9xEXLKqjvUzsQboFOMx3F7CBI/s1600/IMG_1938.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjliZ7ZbKUKoM-pgOygUYF2wlBMRerEkLP5sumV0Yq7WElbEISLFFB8u52yUMmRjNmb29YWLUMMMzeBmstZMWlIOJO_nBxZbQf-WCGzbEcAmmWFiAHnDp9xEXLKqjvUzsQboFOMx3F7CBI/s320/IMG_1938.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>They call it a Russian Easter Cake.....but it kind of looks like a penis with sprinkles on top! yikes!<br />
And here is the best part....read the ingredients...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsw_NgEgbHQTScr2dKbSDuDnCXKT2OkxB29_gbCN9-gNIzFofDbnIOGs88KnxJuEipHyg5R9JAvx1TTW1GthXLt611Ot6HF-bgNa2Dkd0G7QADaPV8LGW3Deuoy2C2Hxtc4m2QzCZYTN0/s1600/IMG_1941.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsw_NgEgbHQTScr2dKbSDuDnCXKT2OkxB29_gbCN9-gNIzFofDbnIOGs88KnxJuEipHyg5R9JAvx1TTW1GthXLt611Ot6HF-bgNa2Dkd0G7QADaPV8LGW3Deuoy2C2Hxtc4m2QzCZYTN0/s320/IMG_1941.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>If the seventh ingredient on that list is true, then why the hell is this cake so dry! Talk about a multipurpose pastry....you can serve this at a party and then it will water your lawn! Ha ha!<br />
<br />
Oh before we get started with a recipe, look at this sign...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWmFZxisjdPlKUntlCW9JH4dPWXM3StAZdxlhz3qm7qAogV1TOvQe7_UTmgkLRjhbczVPg2lSHlnq8fHFV8clzTQKbDWDSLzqbWFNKJQ0t3WkVyM1zUBVUf6aICm5-c-Er6VEdJaZ_nQc/s1600/IMG_1912.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWmFZxisjdPlKUntlCW9JH4dPWXM3StAZdxlhz3qm7qAogV1TOvQe7_UTmgkLRjhbczVPg2lSHlnq8fHFV8clzTQKbDWDSLzqbWFNKJQ0t3WkVyM1zUBVUf6aICm5-c-Er6VEdJaZ_nQc/s320/IMG_1912.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Great advice! The funniest thing about this photo is that I didn't intend to take this picture....the camera just went off in my hand....it must have been the Easter Cake;)<br />
<br />
Alright....<br />
<br />
So I realized that next time I venture to the market, I'm gonna have to start at the end and work my way to the front. You see, all the produce is at the front, so I end up finding something before I have a chance to look around. This week I found two things I had to buy. Here is the first....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYtBCOEtL0a-e3EawK7W-_1tpfaZVmfeXziy8oAlqVPILz-HK2C4egRIpocsIn_j9ZE1yZoHNHzSI4k3YzMY_uFeBc4gmBlvJdhoRYPWtJQllH8xc0dD97duFo-tYiU5EeFWJi4PVL_PM/s1600/IMG_1917.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYtBCOEtL0a-e3EawK7W-_1tpfaZVmfeXziy8oAlqVPILz-HK2C4egRIpocsIn_j9ZE1yZoHNHzSI4k3YzMY_uFeBc4gmBlvJdhoRYPWtJQllH8xc0dD97duFo-tYiU5EeFWJi4PVL_PM/s320/IMG_1917.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>It's called Ugli Fruit....for real...I didn't make that up. The picture does it justice...this thing really is ugly. It looks like an elderly grapefruit. Oh that's mean...this could be some little orange's grandmother!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHvfLdM7dICGp4ElWjHaV74kei-PMuzXLpNUUv6L2bacOdrCDt1M10HHSz6HJNTKfUFMdbz9BSjveTEBFOZotKk_M_cQtKchybPeCNx8sjkqQ11NofEMf_YFkdZpdiW48EEfk7AQhuGs/s1600/IMG_1924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHvfLdM7dICGp4ElWjHaV74kei-PMuzXLpNUUv6L2bacOdrCDt1M10HHSz6HJNTKfUFMdbz9BSjveTEBFOZotKk_M_cQtKchybPeCNx8sjkqQ11NofEMf_YFkdZpdiW48EEfk7AQhuGs/s320/IMG_1924.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>So I lob the top off.....it kind of looks like an orange inside....the only difference is that this thing is like peeling a basketball.<br />
<br />

I picked up some awesome shrimp at the market so I'm thinking of a crisp and summery shrimp salad or ceviche. Let's juice it!!<br />

Okay, I looked up some videos about how to cut this thing and no one said to use a chainsaw....but that is pretty much what you need! I don't think I got a ripe one:( It's like trying to cut open a bowling ball. Here is what it looks like inside...<br />
<br />

Is this where babies come from....we need to pray....Dear sweet Baby Jesus...please erase this image from my brain and forgive me for posting it on the Internet and forgive me for saying this is where babies come from and please continue to bring babies via stork.....love, Joshua<br />
<br />
Okay. Ugh. I can't believe I have to taste this.....(insert joke here)...I won't even touch that one. Let's just say this is not consumable! I might as well have eaten a pine cone...at least my mouth would have tasted blood....and not this thing....I'm gonna try this one again soon.....I just got a bad one:(<br />
<br />
Now I am thinking about a spicy shrimp appetizer....here goes...<br />
<br />
Ugli Shrimp<br />
<br />
ingredients:<br />
1# (21-25) Shrimp...just for the record, the numbers used to identify shrimp is just the amount that would roughly be in one pound. So we are gonna get 21 to 25 shrimp in this pound.<br />
2 Slices of yellow onion<br />
1 T. or 2 cloves garlic, chopped<br />
1/2 cup Ugli juice (or orange juice...I'll explain why later...it's a sad story...keep reading)<br />
1 T. seasoned rice vinegar<br />
1 T. honey<br />
1 t. chili sauce<br />
1 t. siracha<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
<br />
First you want to peel and de-vein the shrimp. Using a small knife, you slice the top side of the shrimp like this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3_27MybJMrajiRO-Y0Nivy8_ckevAvcfNT6XmIJpEOfPuEeNj08Uv2u1tNacieEMaNso5C0rM_ZsW1sv8WTCht-eRjwobZ_5v0kVbaJ6N2VAYz0Tv5pwII4Td62I2kh7M9K-lcZt1ws/s1600/IMG_1945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3_27MybJMrajiRO-Y0Nivy8_ckevAvcfNT6XmIJpEOfPuEeNj08Uv2u1tNacieEMaNso5C0rM_ZsW1sv8WTCht-eRjwobZ_5v0kVbaJ6N2VAYz0Tv5pwII4Td62I2kh7M9K-lcZt1ws/s320/IMG_1945.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>And then clean out the poop...gross....sorry....<br />
<br />
Now, saute the onions (very finely chopped) and garlic in a scoshe of olive oil ( a scoshe is just a tiny bit...I don't even know if it is a real word...it's pronounced "skowsh") and no I didn't make that word up.<br />
<br />

Once the onions and garlic have browned, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine.<br />

SO apparently ....when you cook the ugli juice down it turns super ass bitter! So what I'm saying is that this dish is terrible....I even tried to add a little lemon juice to lift it...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNb7osJrm2EUsZ6OtBdxrqmjnF-M5_KmexrB-lNwlpJ4B4snp5hkWkFVRh3CguKcjbM0tBBnuLa5GJ7AbnPM83ezPm-Sl1wplTY36rEzE2YfkKQgwp1HzBIpNOGUxLyK99GEATbQN06SU/s1600/IMG_1959.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNb7osJrm2EUsZ6OtBdxrqmjnF-M5_KmexrB-lNwlpJ4B4snp5hkWkFVRh3CguKcjbM0tBBnuLa5GJ7AbnPM83ezPm-Sl1wplTY36rEzE2YfkKQgwp1HzBIpNOGUxLyK99GEATbQN06SU/s320/IMG_1959.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Yea that didn't work ...now it tastes like lemons and ass....<br />
<br />
<br />
So this is a learning experience for all of us...see I never said every recipe would work out.<br />
The recipe is not lost though...I remade the dish and replaced the Ugli juice with orange juice and it is fantastic.... SEE<br />

So this week for my Farmers' Market find, I was inspired by a picture I recieved from my buddy Jason Ellis. He was at Chelsea Market in NYC and found this little nugget...<br />

Horchata is a delicious drink made from rice and flavored with cinnamon. I had it when I first moved to Atlanta. A friend of mine took me to the Farmers' Market for the first time and gave me this drink. I remember it tasting like ice cream....soooo good. <br />
So since I have had this before I feel as though I am cheating on my own blog.....but for the sake of the children....I can't make something too "out of the box"....so I will make something that comes in a package:) And I know just the thing.....CUPCAKES!!!!<br />
<br />
How funny is it that the brand name is Klass!! And it's on sale!!!<br />

Joshua's Klassy Cupcakes<br />
AKA: Horchata Coconut cupcakes with browned buttercream<br />
<br />
ingredients:<br />
1 1/4 cups Klass Horchata drink mix:)<br />
1 cup white sugar<br />
1 cup butter, soft<br />
3 eggs<br />
2 1/2 cups flour<br />
1t. baking powder<br />
1/2 t. baking soda<br />
1/2 t. salt<br />
1 cup sour cream<br />
1/3 cup milk<br />
1 T. vanilla <br />
1 cup coconut, shredded, raw<br />
<br />
Browned butercream:<br />
2 sticks butter<br />
2 cups confectionery sugar<br />
1 cup milk<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay first we are going to brown the butter for the buttercream so it can cool before we mix...<br />
<br />
Place the 2 sticks of butter in a skillet on high and let melt...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZRHah31EmtzlAQu6C1sMtk9DXmBvxRAeS-HJ8mfDtg2f0jWoQLSQ8HHzer61deCMHP4GIeiXM-cRotWGPCUtIOE-CRRqSbLmC8CyoiAH-FFShHeKqXhmfiD5w3lR5ScOWLuBcOp6RRE/s1600/Klassy+044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZRHah31EmtzlAQu6C1sMtk9DXmBvxRAeS-HJ8mfDtg2f0jWoQLSQ8HHzer61deCMHP4GIeiXM-cRotWGPCUtIOE-CRRqSbLmC8CyoiAH-FFShHeKqXhmfiD5w3lR5ScOWLuBcOp6RRE/s320/Klassy+044.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />
Now let the butter brown on high for 6 of 7 minutes. You do not want to burn it so stay close. What you are doing here is browning the milk solids in the butter to achieve a nutty taste...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4HvZz3kO92e6z8yfabCTnPTOeMc-JX7bOMCU32LG9smiUba0jRxzCuZVH9Jmn74Q-gvJvPB0z7TqAoF1R23BHwUszBT-5eCiiEE2XaXWdiNfs2wjai_8CoE_qXBhHvdwTFt-6UriQc1M/s1600/Klassy+049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4HvZz3kO92e6z8yfabCTnPTOeMc-JX7bOMCU32LG9smiUba0jRxzCuZVH9Jmn74Q-gvJvPB0z7TqAoF1R23BHwUszBT-5eCiiEE2XaXWdiNfs2wjai_8CoE_qXBhHvdwTFt-6UriQc1M/s320/Klassy+049.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>You can use a spoon to check by scraping the bottom...you should get these little brown pieces.

So place these three ingredients into the bowl of a mixer and cream with a paddle until light and fluffy....about 5 minutes or so....it should look like this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd6Umg17uwajXcOZiir-EQPAfm8fRWumA7Moc7NKAEZt2ZmrYA00piGS9NR1QpOR2rv_B9CT8ezow5GObvZUzRIfUqAEI_Jc65gajg-y3eQbgaTspukrARP5cKz2sHX4LCnTz7hwTpJE/s1600/Klassy+050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRd6Umg17uwajXcOZiir-EQPAfm8fRWumA7Moc7NKAEZt2ZmrYA00piGS9NR1QpOR2rv_B9CT8ezow5GObvZUzRIfUqAEI_Jc65gajg-y3eQbgaTspukrARP5cKz2sHX4LCnTz7hwTpJE/s320/Klassy+050.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Light, Fluffy, and Klassy!<br />
<br />
Now add the eggs...on at a time...making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Np4tJZYSjfveud-IgWVBKED6mrNVUaVoaSKIPq-Qsvow8tnsX-3L-vXfYaD1Alv59KFajYCQkgO_F48hoSswRBzWcKwU_2AeaXi-O9vC23R_2iLxpJY_i0XA372YAJohC0qxp9kqZJM/s1600/Klassy+054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Np4tJZYSjfveud-IgWVBKED6mrNVUaVoaSKIPq-Qsvow8tnsX-3L-vXfYaD1Alv59KFajYCQkgO_F48hoSswRBzWcKwU_2AeaXi-O9vC23R_2iLxpJY_i0XA372YAJohC0qxp9kqZJM/s320/Klassy+054.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Okay....there is a reason for this. So when you cream the eggs and sugar...you are making millions of air pockets. These pockets are then filled slowly with eggs (hence the "one at a time" thing) not to overwhelm the batter....so sensitive;) So when the cake is baking, the eggs begin to cook and expand...this starts the leavening process...take that culinary school...your welcome.<br />
<br />
Okay, so once the eggs are in and incorporated, you can add the baking powder, baking soda and salt to the flour.....<br />
<br />

Then add the milk.<br />
Fold in the vanilla and milk next.<br />
BTW... this is the vanilla I used....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj22EsOAZyjanbUkHAnMVeVowKR5T0hV7Vhib8yF0mMRNRkvpPHUlD8TmkhV4MDS07f8jFnKCgCxrQf09OeenENcTdtV83GT-CWt-cVmes1vEU2Nhu5jccllhu9EmszxEQ_ESoe5b_Fru8/s1600/Klassy+043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj22EsOAZyjanbUkHAnMVeVowKR5T0hV7Vhib8yF0mMRNRkvpPHUlD8TmkhV4MDS07f8jFnKCgCxrQf09OeenENcTdtV83GT-CWt-cVmes1vEU2Nhu5jccllhu9EmszxEQ_ESoe5b_Fru8/s320/Klassy+043.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>That's right....vanilla essence...cause we are "klassy";)<br />
<br />
Lastly, give the batter a few good shavings of fresh nutmeg....<br />
<br />

<br />
Now fill the cupcake liners and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or so...just until they spring back a little....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbMvWSWZbd3qM3xPDy8uEbq1OeIfzADpiMhJMPvjKC2ma_TnYixa2kqRO2xsha2vr5wunSCBKqF6T1NjIYqZD7LjjIlxNjw_7eu-1sBD3fYav4YK5Nm5lMWWmoxJ1JvTnKxXlIBBogvyo/s1600/Klassy+066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbMvWSWZbd3qM3xPDy8uEbq1OeIfzADpiMhJMPvjKC2ma_TnYixa2kqRO2xsha2vr5wunSCBKqF6T1NjIYqZD7LjjIlxNjw_7eu-1sBD3fYav4YK5Nm5lMWWmoxJ1JvTnKxXlIBBogvyo/s320/Klassy+066.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Now for the icing!!!<br />
<br />
Place the cooled brown butter in the mixer on low. Add the milk and sugar and beat with a whisk attachment until light and fluffy...<br />
<br />
Now ice the cooled cupcakes and decorate how ever you choose...just make sure they look "klassy".<br />
I topped some with sprinkles and others with toasted coconut....<br />

They are super sweet but super good. That's all for now.

At least that's how this place makes me feel! So I have to find something I've never seen. But before I begin the hunt....I decided to take a couple of pictures. This place has some hilarious shit!<br />

Okay, so since last time I got something really ugly to cook, I thought maybe I should find something more attractive than that Jack Fruit.<br />
<br />
And here it is friends....<br />
<br />

Unicorn eggs!...not really. But when I saw this bin full of these beautiful babies, I squeezed my butt cheecks together so tight... I think I pulled a muscle in my back! So exciting. It's mine!!!<br />
<br />
Alright so this guy is called the Dragon Fruit (pitaya) and he is so pretty. I find it strange that this is a "dragon" fruit...it should totally be the Unicorn Fruit. Look at this thing! A dragon it is not. I guess when I think of dragons I think of the beast that Maleficent turns into at the end of Sleeping Beauty....scary!...sorry..that was the gayest thing I've ever said...I appologize to everyone involved. But for real, Unicorn Fruit is well suited. BTW..if I get this thing home and it is not filled with glitter...I will be pissed!<br />
<br />
If you ask me, THIS looks more like a dragon fruit...<br />
<br />

So this Pitaya (Dragon Fruit as they call it...and by "they", I mean people who don't know how to name fruit) is a very mild fruit. It's flesh is like a kiwi with little black seeds. Here is the inside...<br />
<br />

It's mildly sweet and is eaten raw or as a palate cleanser. It actually doesn't have a ton of flavor. Sometimes it is used to flavor tea or water. Maybe I'll make some Dragon juice....too easy. Well I can't cook it or pair it with really strong flavors so at this point I am lost. Then it hits me...Salsa!!! But not regular salsa...something new and fresh! Dragon Salsa...worst name ever!..but I can't think of anything else. This fruit is super refreshing so I think it will make for an awesomely crisp summer salsa.<br />
<br />
So now I have to find some chips. Much to my surprise, they do not have sesame Doritos! Ugh those would be so good. This looks like chips, but it is not!<br />

This is seaweed...and they sell it in the shape of chips...but it tastes like gross.<br />
<br />
So I have the sesame crackers and some lady who spoke broken English told me to get these crackers that I can't read...<br />

<br />
Here is the recipe....<br />
<br />
Dragon Salsa (working title)<br />
<br />
1/2 Dragon fruit, fine dice, about a cup<br />
2 large tomatoes, fine dice<br />
1/4 yellow bell pepper, fine dice<br />
1 slice red onion, fine chop<br />
1/2 avacado, firm, fine chop<br />
2 cloves galic, chopped<br />
10 Thai basil leaves, chopped<br />
1 thai pepper, chopped<br />
1/2 lime<br />
1 tsp. seasoned rice vinegar<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
<br />
Side Notes...<br />
<br />
-Thai peppers are spicy so you can leave it out<br />
-Make sure you get thai basil and not just basil.....huge difference<br />
-get a firm avacado...it should feel like a tightened butt cheek muscle...but don't do that in the store...<br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is super easy. You just have to chop everything and mix it together.<br />
<br />
Mise en place...<br />

Oh...before you chop the tomatoes, lob the tops off and give them a squeeze to remove the seeds and slimy stuff...<br />

I super duper heart this place. It's like a giant cultural grocery store! Every Sunday, I wander the aisles trying to figure out what in the hell I am looking at or why the tiny Asian woman next to me needs a 55 gallon drum of dried up little fish babies. Cray cray. So I am on a mission....find a strange item in this store and cook something with it. As I look around, there are numerous things I could grab...I mean, half of the stuff in this store is in a language I don't understand. So I have decided to grab the ugliest thing I can find....<br />
<br />
Jack pot...or fruit?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmbxrP0waluZSBWs3nvq_A3XrnWErZFfzEs_BMyxoB6ULWzeg9jufCptG_4FOpKsp0tXloFiz5-cgsWcpk9PTswNQB8v5lm7Dy4z-BW-tUyAicgJsgi1fipItNgByVrsp4viAubq9QFiA/s1600/phone+201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmbxrP0waluZSBWs3nvq_A3XrnWErZFfzEs_BMyxoB6ULWzeg9jufCptG_4FOpKsp0tXloFiz5-cgsWcpk9PTswNQB8v5lm7Dy4z-BW-tUyAicgJsgi1fipItNgByVrsp4viAubq9QFiA/s320/phone+201.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Okay, if you have never seen one of these before then you probably had the same reaction as I did. Why are they selling rotten watermelons? This is a jack fruit....well a dissected jack fruit. It's totally foul looking and I'm totally buying one.<br />
<br />
Side note....do not get this confused with a Dorian fruit seen below<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB9n_tgm8k9A7g9gbCyqP3HVvu-Ic_-uPMN1PlJUQSVa2SAnb0Rm_3jEBroDZJyJUAlMfVBhOGFb6Jv2i_ev-qZlwOkYXRL1cA2Fr30Q0AUNk6UToyy9HWzxGebqVW7YvIxOiGJ5uoyns/s1600/phone+199.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB9n_tgm8k9A7g9gbCyqP3HVvu-Ic_-uPMN1PlJUQSVa2SAnb0Rm_3jEBroDZJyJUAlMfVBhOGFb6Jv2i_ev-qZlwOkYXRL1cA2Fr30Q0AUNk6UToyy9HWzxGebqVW7YvIxOiGJ5uoyns/s320/phone+199.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Apparently, when this guy is cut open, it smells like rotting flesh. Okay, let's talk about this for a second. First of all, this "fruit" looks like an ancient war weapon....or a purse that Lady Ga Ga would carry down the red carpet. I mean...why would Baby Jesus make such a thing? This is probably what watermelons dress up as for Halloween. You know if this was the fruit that Eve was tempted with, then I think we would all still be butt naked running through the jungle. If this thing WAS the forbidden fruit and she still took a bite of it.....then bitch had it comin'!<br />
<br />
So getting back to the task at hand...the jack fruit...what in the hell am I gonna cook with this.<br />
<br />
There she is...just starring at me<br />

I think I would rather eat a pine cone than this beast. Funny thing is, it smells soooo good. You would think this thing would smell like a fart. But it kind of smells like cucumber melon lotion....NOT that I have ever used that lotion...I'm just sayin' that it smells like when you walk past a Bath and Body Works at the mall....don't jump to conclusions! Rude! The bad part is....it doesn't taste like it smells. It kind of tastes like a sour banana. So i have decided to cut it up while I think of what to do with it.<br />

It kind of looks like an artichoke...and I"arta choke"the girl who sold it to me...that was corny but I stand by it. So while I am fighting with the monster that I just purchased I remembered something. I used to live next door to a family from South Africa and they would make this curry dish that we would top with almonds and fresh banana and it was sooooo good. So in lies my decision...curry it is. Now since the jack fruit hails from Southeast Asia, I'm gonna have to find a way to Asianize this dish. The curry I learned to make from my neighbors was South African, so a few changes are in order.<br />
Here is the recipe.<br />
<br />
Joshua's Jack Pot Curry<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 1/2 lbs of top round steak (or meat of your choice), cubed<br />
2 yellow onions, diced<br />
1 cup diced jack fruit<br />
2 potatoes, diced<br />
1 sweet pepper. diced<br />
1 small turnip, diced<br />
3 medium tomatoes, diced<br />
2 T. curry<br />
1 t. turmeric<br />
1 t. white pepper<br />
1 t. Chinese 5 spice<br />
2 stock cubes (beef or chicken)<br />
2 cups hot water<br />
<br />
Side note: If you like a spicy curry, add a hot pepper as well. Also, you don't have to use the turnip, I just wanted to cut the sweetness of the dish. If you don't have a turnip, you can use another potato.<br />
<br />
Oh and Btw...this is the curry I am using. It's Viet Namese...super good<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxtG1ZQXleht06szpv4ZIN0QvEHngFP6Ev3SaFGDevf8Oaf46tvpKw-K5ILmrmN3EB6QWXG3lWhudpmMwnVgFTlLamJmT1QKPoCBmHT75KRrmuWCXXg26jfkN9ZUOwfyTYm8ZlTQL7k0/s1600/phone+218.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlxtG1ZQXleht06szpv4ZIN0QvEHngFP6Ev3SaFGDevf8Oaf46tvpKw-K5ILmrmN3EB6QWXG3lWhudpmMwnVgFTlLamJmT1QKPoCBmHT75KRrmuWCXXg26jfkN9ZUOwfyTYm8ZlTQL7k0/s320/phone+218.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Okay now everything is chopped and ready to go<br />

Most of this curry is cooked in liquid. And when beef is cooked in liquid it turns grey. No ma'am! I don't want to eat grey food although Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast thinks it's delicious...Ha ha....google it:)<br />
Now remove the beef and set aside.<br />

Now we need to fry the veggies.<br />
In the same pot, add the veggies, jack fruit, and spices.<br />
Cook these for a few minutes stirring constantly. Then add the water and stock cubes and re-add the meat.<br />

Cover the curry and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours stirring every 20 minutes or so.<br />

Hooray! Take that Baby Jesus and your ugly fruit! <br />
So in conclusion....this dish will totally rock your face off! And the Jack fruit is not so scary after all. So if you decide to make this dish (as you should...cause it will change your life), then you can use the leftover fruit to scare away animals from your yard:)<br />
That's all for now...more to come....<br />
