Another ‘almost’ fail recipe
It’s a good thing that I’m good at doctoring recipes. I tried one from the AHA Meals in Minutes Cookbook last night that could have been a total fail.
The recipe is called No-Chop Stew and the flavor was not there at all. I added garlic, basil, and oregano to boost the flavor. After the additions the taste was acceptable. I made notes in the cookbook.
Anyone getting my old cookbooks after I’m gone will find notes on most of the recipes. The notes range from, “This is a good one.” to added ingredients to make the recipe a good one.
Sherlock Holmes; a game of shadows
G and I went to see it yesterday. We both loved, loved, loved it! We are looking forward to more. I may have bruised G’s arm poking her with my elbow when the bull terrier appeared on-screen. Yay, for bullies!
We are also looking forward to Men In Black 3 the trailers looked like great fun!
For my birthday in March we are going to make sure we go to see John Carter.

Honey Chipotle Pecans
This recipe doubles easily.
2 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
3/4 tsp cinnamon
2 cups pecans
2 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350.
In a medium skillet, combine honey, chipotle powder and cinnamon over medium heat until melted and combined. Stir in nuts. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until fragrant. Cool slightly (1-2 minutes). Combine sugar and salt in a bowl, add pecans and toss until coated. Spread out on a piece of parchment paper and cool completely. Be warned that if you have one…you will have another. Store in an airtight container.
