Or, you could say this is a Hennessy mojito without the sparkling water. But, I guess Hennessy Miami sounds better. I like to finely slice the mint leaves. This works in lieu of muddling. This way if mint leaves sneak into my cocktail, they look far less abused. September 10th, 2010 | Category: Cocktails & Libations, Fruit, Recipe | Leave a comment
Traditionally, this recipe would include salt beef. The beef would be soaked and boiled twice before it would be added. But, I’ve substituted an equal amount of andouille sausage in its place. (Oxtail, stew beef, or smoked pig’s feet would be better substitutes. But, I didn’t have any on hand.) […]
…And, beach plum jam I could buy some. Nah, that’s too easy. I think I’ll try to devise a convoluted recipe. This is my current plan: I Wanna Be Beach Plum Jam 1-2 large bunches of tart grapes, halved & seeded 2-4 […]

Mr Stripey doesn’t like the heat. Last year we had over 20 huge tomatoes. This year? We’ve seen about 10 tomatoes on the same number of plants. And, several of those 10 weren’t pretty. So, it would be a crime not to showcase the handful of gorgeous tomatoes […]

Fig + Ginger + Sugar = Yum
This isn’t really a recipe. It’s a bit like recycled food. After two weeks of fig preserve, we wanted something new to accompany our morning toast. So, I took what was left over from my 5 cups of […]

The other two black mission fig trees are growing nicely… but, no figs. The newly planted 4-5 foot kadota fig tree has lost a few leaves, but, the fruit […]
Everything sounds better in French… (And Italian) Slap a French name on fig preserve and the charm factor goes sky high. And, that sweet little market on the corner won’t hesitate to add $10 to the price tag. But, it’s still just fruit and sugar.
