Allison’s Roast Chicken

The thing about chicken is, it likes to turn hard and rubbery if it’s nicely browned, and it likes to taste steamy and horrid if it’s nicely tender.

And to top it off, it is not finicky about temperature, which makes it an excellent choice for novice woodburners like us. This one was cooked at anywhere from 250 to 450 degrees, starting at the low end and ending at the high end (as in, the opposite of how we are usually told to roast meat), and was none the worse for the wear and tear.

Black Beans in Curry Broth

When I was making a pot of beans last week, I tasted the pot liquor about halfway through, and it was out of this world. Tangy, garlicy, and rich. But by the time we sat down to eat a few hours later, the flavor had waned considerably. A few dollops of yogurt brought it back to life, but I pined for the beans that were.

Five Pizzas

First of all, let me say that five pizzas is too many. But tonight we are enjoying the leftovers of the last and best one, with no work at all, so maybe I shouldn’t complain.

A Pot of Beans on a Cookstove

A pot of beans, simmered all day on the slow side of the stove. The next day we reheated them with some leftover brown rice, and stirred in a dollop (or two) of yogurt to each bowl. Mmmm. Way better. Remember not to forget the yogurt.

Cookstove Quesadillas

This is the first time I’ve made quesadillas since we installed the Kitchen Queen, having spent the interim trying to push her limits (haven’t yet). We used to have them at least once a week… before the Queen stole my heart, and hijacked my imagination.
