Chicken  scarpariello , the Italian-American dish of chicken braised with sausage and peppers in a sweet-and-sour sauce, is one of those perfect Tuesday-night meals. It's punchy, it's not for the timid, but it's ultimately very easy to make, requiring just a single sauté pan or Dutch oven, about 25 minutes on the stovetop, and a half hour in the oven. Serves: 4-6 4 chicken breasts or thighs, cut in large pieces. Thighs give more flavour and stay juicy. ½ teaspoon/2ml salt ¼ teaspoon/1ml black pepper 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 3-4 link Italian style sausages (sweet or hot, we prefer the hot) 1 red bell pepper, cut in 1 inch/2.5cm pieces 1 green bell pepper, cut in 1 inch/2.5cm pieces 3 hot cherry pepper drained, seeded & chopped 4 garlic clove chopped or thinly sliced ½ cup/120ml dry white wine ½ cup/120ml chicken stock 2 tablespoons/30ml cornstarch 2 tablespoons/30ml hot cherry pepper juice (optional) 12 ounces/340g orzo pasta olive oil Handful of parsley, ch

Are you happy now?? by  KORIN MILLER JAN 29, 2020 Despite their genius nature, sporks aren’t something you regularly see on tables. So, it’s only natural that people get really, really excited when they happen to spot one in the wild. Apparently, some people visiting  Disneyland  have been so pumped about spotting the super special sporks at the Docking Bay 7 restaurant in  Star Wars : Galaxy’s Edge  that they’ve kinda-sorta-totally stolen them. Disneyland caught wind of this after people posted on social media about their loot, and, after a few months, they decided to actually put them up for sale, per  CNN . If you happen to visit the Docking Bay 7 restaurant, you’ll have the option of purchasing your own spork (with a  Galaxy's Edge -themed travel bag!) for $10.99—it’s right on the  menu . At nearly $11, the spork is nearly double the cost of the next-most expensive menu item (Rising Moon Overnight Oats made with yogurt, oats, fruit, and “popping pear

Pickles have been around for more than 4000 years with mentions of them in the Tigris Valley in 2030 BC. Julius Caesar fed his troops  pickles believing they gave them more stamina and strength. Cleopatra believed in them for her famed beauty. Shakespeare may have been the first to use the word “pickle” as a noun or a metaphor.

Heated wine dates back to ancient times, when spoilt wine was converted back into a drinkable form by heating and the adding of spices and honey. In medieval times heated wines were called Ypocras or Hipocris, named after 'the father of medicine,' the Greek physician Hippocrates. Purer than the water in those days, it was thought to be a very healthy drink.  During the 1500's, the mulling of clarrey , or bordeaux wine was popular, sweetened with honey and spiced with cinnamon and cardamon. Living in Southern Florida times are few and far between (at least according to our northern brethren) that we need a drink to warm us up on a cold winter’s night.  The popularity that this spiced and sweetened wine enjoys in Great Britain and Europe has not hopped the pond. Why I am not sure. To me mulled wine spells holidays and festivity.  It brings back wonderful memories of family and friends spending time together. Mulled wine goes by many different names here are a
