moved to New Orleans for a great job.

Unfortunately i will not have a working kitchen for a bit....So you just might get pictures of beautiful garden district houses for a while.

Shirley Temple, sorry that was a bad Santa

Been job hunting like crazy..and cooking, this blog is not dead, will be posting some great new recipes and pics soon. Just learned about adding kimchee to my great raw soups...WOW. Scott Barnes BSN, RN/Chef;-)
cooking allot of traditional and raw meals pics and recipes soon!

Now that I have finished getting my BSN, RN I plan on reviving my blog/ personal cookbook. I may just have an interest in cooking again now that I am not running around doing NCLEX questions. I would love to convert my hand written cookbook to Blogger and add a ton of photos. My notebook I have had for 15 years is starting to look like it has been dropped in a few curries. And on that note my dog Chloe just left her beard hairs in my Grilled Polenta and Lamb "Stroganoff" I had momentarily left on the bed while writing this...GUILTY. Scott

What to do with that olive juice? USE IT...

Add yogurt and a bit of olive oil to your favorite gourmet leftover olive juice and marinate, in this case lamb. I added smoked paprika and curry powder....I grilled and finished off in a 350 degree oven. The flavor was out of this world and incredibly tender. To accompany the lamb I roasted some seasoned tomatoes, grilled a few green onions, crisp romaine and crumbled ricotta salata. Tossed it with the few stray olives and made a simple white wine, agave and olive oil- S&P- dressing. In our home the great thing about pears is I check them every day until they are perfect...The pear has the power to present itself when it wants, not when I want.

Simple Knockout Salad

Corn Shoots, Sugar Snap Peas, Sun Dried Tomatoes, and Kiwi Salad with a Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette. 

And perhaps a few other things...? I think I see an almond...

Too busy to write, but here are some drooling photos;-)
