Tonight it will be a shredded chicken breast rubbed with a medium-hot mixture of dry spices. Then, I will fry it (BB denizens don't "brown") in a bit of olive oil then add two fresh chopped jalapeno peppers, four or five sliced white mushrooms, a finely sliced scallion and some capers.

Serve it up over some rice and then stay away from all humanity for at least eighteen hours.

BTW, I've been dealing with a nasty head and chest cold for the last four days and I'm determined to drive out every damned germ from my body one way or another.

My cooking takes over where antibiotics fear to tread. wink

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
