Five Spice Roast Chicken — How To Make Five Spice Roast Chicken - Delish.com Five Spice Roast Chicken — How To Make Five Spice Roast Chicken - Delish.com Posted: 24 May 2021 12:00 AM PDT As a Chinese-American first-generation immigrant, I grew up with cinnamon as a savory spice. It's often found in five-spice mixes, and I remember my grandfather's pork belly stew as one of the foundational childhood dishes that forever cemented my love for cinnamon.  It was a funny moment of culture shock when my parents first discovered cinnamon was used as a prevalent sweet spice in so many North American desserts. To this day, they still can't fully enjoy things like snickerdoodle cookies and cinnamon rolls and are wary of being ambushed by the presence of cinnamon in sweets. Thankfully, my palate was still elastic enough to be open to cinnamon's androgynous greatness. I don't know if my parents will like this five spice roast ...

Margarita wine cocktail from Rancho La Gloria There are lots of margaritas and margarita mixes out there, but we’ve been enjoying this ready-to-drink margarita in a sweet, frosted bottle from Rancho La Gloria. The story is that the Rancho La Gloria Hotel in Tijuana, Mexico, is where the margarita first was served, back in 1938. We can’t say this is the same recipe, but it is a very delicious margarita, made with agave wine instead of tequila. (Agave is same source plant for both the wine and the liquor.) The cocktails also include cane sugar, natural flavors and lime juice, and come in the traditional lime flavor, but also strawberry, mango, watermelon, peach, blueberry and paloma. Just uncap the bottle and pour. $14.99 per 1.5-liter bottle, $8.99 per four-pack of 187-milliliter bottles. Available at Publix, Kroger, Target and Food Depot. Information at rancholagloria.com .

By 2011, they had broken up, and Ms. Weiss bought out her ex, who left almost everything behind. A Week In Portland, OR, On A $40,000 Salary - Refinery29 Posted: 13 Nov 2019 12:00 AM PST 5:30 p.m. — Home after a brisk walk in nice weather (it's above 50 degrees!). My bosses left early, and I spent the last 30 minutes of work explaining the importance of voting to my coworker who has never voted. Being engaged is incredibly important! We aren't the most aligned politically, but he is extremely che...

Simone Biles is the only sure thing for US gymnastics team going to Tokyo Olympics - USA TODAY Simone Biles is the only sure thing for US gymnastics team going to Tokyo Olympics - USA TODAY Posted: 04 Jun 2021 12:00 AM PDT CLOSE With less than a hundred days until the Tokyo Olympics, this may not be the last Olympic games for gymnast Simone Biles. USA TODAY FORT WORTH, Texas — Simple math shows the difficulty of making the U.S. women's gymnastics team for the Tokyo Olympics. The United States can send up to six women to Tokyo – a four-person team and two, potentially, as individuals. But one of the team spots is going to Simone Biles, who in addition to being the reigning world and Olympic champion just happens to be the greatest gymnast of all time. That means there really are four guaranteed spots available. And there are 29 women besides Biles fighting for them, beginning at this week's nati...

After more than a year of social distancing, Gabrielle Hamilton wanted to reclaim the notion of "six feet," give it a new context, make people laugh with delight while she fed them lunch. So she wrote a recipe for a six-foot hero (above) that calls to mind the Italian hoagies of her youth, albeit one that doesn't contain capicola, soppressata or deli ham. You could certainly add those, if you like, and if you can't find the six feet of bread, make the sandwich on the longest torpedo roll you can find instead. That would be a delightful thing to do on the ...

What to Cook This Weekend - The New York Times What to Cook This Weekend - The New York Times Posted: 18 Jun 2021 12:00 AM PDT Good morning. I took to The New York Times Magazine this week to write about a remarkable 20th century restaurateur named Henri Charpentier, who was raised in the kitchens and dining rooms of the French Riviera, labored under Auguste Escoffier and César Ritz in Paris, and moved to New York in the early 20th century, where he opened his restaurant Henri's, in Lynbrook. One of the dishes Charpentier served there showed up in a cookbook my friend Julie found in a used bookstore in the Midwest a few years ago: fluke au gratin (above). It's a remarkable, elegant dish, and a simple preparation appropriate to any firm, mild white-fleshed fish. Make a buttery sauce with chopped shallots, garlic, chives, parsley and mushrooms, and brighten it with lemon juice and white wine. Spoon some of it into a shallow roast...

Gardening in Mallorca: Fragrant culinary herbs - Majorca Daily Bulletin Gardening in Mallorca: Fragrant culinary herbs - Majorca Daily Bulletin Posted: 26 Jun 2021 11:46 PM PDT Today I would just like to go through all those delightfully fragrant culinary herbs that are so easy to grow both in the garden or on a terrace. I am frequently reminded by readers that it is all very well to talk about 'gardening' but probably a far greater proportion of readers live in apartments with no access to a garden just the more reduced space of a balcony or terrace. To keep everyone happy lets look at what can be grown in all spaces available by starting with a tree !!! A Bay Tree grows happily in a pot and can look really nice kept cut to a neat round standard size with the odd leaf always on hand to flavour the cooking pot. Left to its own in the garden you may well find it self seeds all over the place and even provided a safe shelter for th...
