12107663_445e3c74dc_mThe best course of action to take sometimes isn’t clear until you’ve listed and considered your alternatives. The following paragraphs should help clue you in to what the experts think is significant. If you find yourself confused by what you are reading then don’t despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish. Of course, it’s impossible to put everything about Barbeque into just one article. But you can’t deny that you’ve just added to your understanding about Barbeque, and that’s time well spent.

If you’re not fortunate enough to have an ancestor with a love of all things grilled, you’re probably going to spend a good deal of time trying to find the perfect barbeque sauce recipe. A favorite type of food that almost everyone craves during the summer is barbeque. Biting into a richly flavored rack of ribs or chewing on a chicken leg that’s smothered in barbeque sauce is just plain delicious. Depending on the cookbook’s focus it might even be a spicy or Cajun style barbeque sauce recipe. The first place you might want to start is with the cookbooks you already have.

There are a ton of great resources when it comes to finding more information on barbequing. My family prefers food that is hotter and more robust so I threw in extra cumin and chili powder and now everyone is happy when we eat grilled food. The key to finding a good barbeque sauce recipe that is heart healthy seems to be in the base. Almost every cookbook has at least one recipe for a good barbeque sauce.

It’s really a question of hit and misses at this point, so why not whip up a batch of barbeque sauce and give it a try? I’d have to say, from my own personal experience, that it’s really a matter of personal taste. If the recipe calls for heavy oil such as a vegetable oil, this is going to add not only considerable calories but a good deal more fat as well. It seems like everyone and their Grandmother has a recipe for their favorite sauce to use on the barbeque. You may stumble on a great barbeque sauce recipe that is filled with fat. One drawback to delving into the world of grilling sauce in this way is that many of the older cookbooks haven’t taken healthy eating into consideration. Unless you are willing to settle for the bottled variety, it’s a trek that is filled with tasty treats. I used a standard barbeque sauce recipe and then played with the spice combinations. Fat free sauces have become the rage and honestly there are a number of great sauces specifically for grilling that taste fantastic. Although this is bound to be incredibly good, it’s not going to be as great for your well-being. For some it’s a bottled sauce that they swear is the best they’ve ever had, while for others the barbeque sauce recipe they use has been passed on from generation to generation and is as closely guarded a secret as you’ll ever find.

darn-goodWhat would you consider the value of a bowl of frozen yogurt?

To be clear, I don”t mean its sentimental value, nothing as romantic as all of that, I”m talking about nitty-gritty, slap-a-price tag-on-that-puppy value.

Hold on, let me give you the details before you all start yelling out answers all The Price is Right-style on me.

This is not just any frozen confection. It is removed from the insipidly-sweet ranks of those frozen yogurts parading as ice cream. It has the unmistakable twang of yogurt, softened only slightly by sweetness. This is one that puts Greek yogurt front and center; yogurt so thick that when spooned it falls lazily back upon itself in luscious folds. This is one where the yogurt plays equal partner to handful upon handful of mixed berries that have been squished and squashed into a violet-hued pulp.

It”s darn good stuff.

adventures-in-domesticity-chickenWelcome to my culinary experiment!

Sadly, it is time for my orange-colored culinary journey around the world to conclude. It started in East Hampton, traveled across the Atlantic to The Gambia, headed west to Thailand, and now retreats back east a little to India, home country of my next endeavor, chicken tikka masala.

I was inspired to try this dish after my friend Eunnok whipped up a batch for himself and posted pics on Facebook. It looked delicious, and he confirmed that it indeed was. He forwarded me the recipe, one thing led to another, and voila, here I am with another Adventure in Domesticity.
