Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Without a family, one seldom thinks long term
My daughter Karla wants to remind everyone that tomorrow is Earth Day… a day — at least to me — for celebrating our world and everyone in it. It is more than hugging trees, it is about investing in people and families to provide the wealth, energy and motivation to make our world a better place.

PS. Have a Happy Good Friday!
Most people who know me realize that I am seldom impressed with on-line recipes as they leave too many good things out… or take unnecessary and unwanted shortcuts. However, Tyler Florence has done a nice job with his Beef Wellington… and I love his version of a Green Peppercorn Sauce.
Here is my link to a few of the pictures in the process… it was delicious!
Bon Appetite!

PS. the biggest change I made is to use 12 ounces of Prociuto … instead of 6 ounces.
My bride of nearly 39 years loves white chocolate and who can blame her? The best is made – in my humble opinion- by Peters Chocolate Company and when you want the best… this is the go-to chocolate for me!
Nothing very fancy in my cheesecake unless you call ‘richness’ something unexpected… but we have amarula liquor and white chocolate in both the filling and the cap. Delicious!
Here is the basic recipe that I tweaked to make this one happen.

I love Chili Relleno, but I wondered if there was an easier way to make a larger size without sacrificing quality? For this challenge I turned to the simple pie plate and a microwave.
Most ‘bulk’ chili rellenos you will find posted are those placed in a casserole dish with the chilis on the bottom ( sometimes NOT stuffed, ugh!) covered with cheese and custard. I am sure it is good, but I want a little custard below the chilis. After thinking about how many microwaved omelets I have made, I thought this might be the ticket for this recipe.
The process is simple: 1) make your egg mixture and place part in the base of the pan and microwave to virtually solid, 2) place your chilis on top, spinkle with your favorite cheeses and cover with remaining egg mixture 3) remove from plate and cover with your Relleno Sauce!
SHHhhh, actually I was going to share this with Laura as she is coming home from a trip, but it really wasn’t all that good… at least that’s my story! 😉 yum!

I don’t know what it is but I really can’t get enough Chili Relleno! The taste and texture is so inviting and … yes… I actually lost weight while eating this a few times this past week! Outside of the cheese and egg, it is a surprisingly good vegetarian dish.
The top left picture above is the 5 cheese stuffed chili; in the top right, I am folding the egg yolk into the whipped egg whites and the bottom picture is the time consuming — but yummy – sauce!
Thanks again to El Cholo’s Restaurant for their wonderful recipe… that although I adapted… is wonderful! Hmmmm… wonder what I will have for lunch tomorrow? Ah, leftover Chili Relleno!
