Green Beans

Green beans aren’t hard to fix, but they are hard to get fresh so that they can be fixed well. I’ve found that roasting green beans, while hardly new, seemed to help overcome the difficulties associated with beans prepared in a way which would otherwise be unremarkable. The great thing about this recipe is that it can be used either by itself or as a starting point for making a version which includes other items, such a almonds or even roasting the tomatoes with the beans themselves. I’ve made note of the recipe I use when roasting green beans here, or use the Cookery menu above to locate the recipe.

Techfest White Turkey Chili

I received many compliments on my white turkey chili which I entered for competition at this years Techfest, an event put on by the Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society. Even though I was the only contestant to have a empty crock pot after lunch had been served, I did not win this year. Bummer. Even so, I promised to put the recipe, which is based on one from Cook’s Illustrated, on my website for the folks who wanted a copy. Either use the Cookery menu above to find the recipe, or simply click here.
