    Olga's

    Here's another I've been searching for. Olga's Kitchen was a fast casual place throughout Michigan, Ohio, and a few other places. Olga died a few years ago, and they now only have a few locations in Michigan. Their signature sandwich, called an "Olga", was similar to a gyro, but not exactly...

    Almond Boneless Chicken, aka ABC, aka War Sui Gai

    Does anyone have a subscription to Americas Test Kitchen website? I am looking for this recipe, published January 2016. It's behind a paywall and I no longer subscribe. I have many of their cookbooks, but it's not in any of them. If you have it, I'd appreciate it. It's a Detroit thing.

    Duck

    Tonight I broke down a couple of ducks. Froze the breasts for another night. Put the legs in cure in the fridge. Rendered the excess fat. Carcasses into the stockist. Tomorrow I'll confit the legs in the rendered fat. The stock will become the base for a cherry gastrigue.

    Butter Pecan Ice Cream

    I have 2 ice cream makers. Both are the kind with a canister that you have to freeze before using. The Cuisniart makes fabulous ice cream, but I never have room in my freezer to store the can. The Kitchen Aid ice cream attachment is even bulkier than the Cuisinart. So they both are stored in...

    Pickled Carrots and Daikon Radish and Red Cabbage

    I love to put picked daikon and carrot strings into a variety of Asian dishes; Bahn mi's, lotus bao buns, noodle dishes, etc. They are easy go-to dishes when I don't want to turn on the oven. But I've been out of pickles for a while now. I also love pickled red onions in a lot of dishes...

    Air fryer

    I bought an airfryer a few years ago, and it was the noisiest thing I ever owned. It was louder then my Vitamix. It sounded like a locomotive running in my kitchen. I got rid of it in a garage sale, and never looked back. You guys are doing all kinds of good looking things in your airfryers...

    Another RIP

    A couple weeks ago I went ‘home’ to Michigan to see my aunt, who had just been moved to hospice. I spent 4 days with her, taking her everywhere she wanted to go. Her old church, old neighborhood, grade school, college, the hot dog place from her childhood days. They let me take her out of...
