New Cookbook and Fabulous Meal

I am so excited, tomorrow night I am going to the Ivoryton Playhouse to see The Irish...and How They Got That Away.  It is based on a book by Pulitzer Prizer winning author, Frank McCourt. Here is the poster.

I also wrote an article on Quora.

Here is a picture of the scrumptious meal I made today.

It is Maple-Glazed Pork Chops with Roasted Corn Relish. It is from The Hay Day Country Market Cookbook.

Here is the recipe straight from the book.

and here is the little part that is missing.

The meal was amazing. It tasted wonderful.  I did not grow up eating pork chops but they were wonderful, especially with the roasted corn relish.

This cookbook originated from the Hay Day Country Farm in Westport, Connecticut which opened in 1978. This Country Market later became Balducci's.  If you like gourmet supermarkets you will like this one. They also make excellent deli sandwiches.

Whip up something new in the kitchen and try something new.

North and South, Ivoryton Playhouse and a Chicken

Image via WikipediaI have been on another hemisphere recently -- because I started watching  this old television mini-series North and South Book 1 of North and South: The Complete Collection (Books One, Two & Three). The mini-series originally aired on November 5, 1985. All the actors may be dressed in clothing dating back to the pre-civil war but many of the actors have hair styles of the 1980s. Patrick Swayze who sadly died at the age of 57 of pancreatic cancer.

The Ivoryton Playhouse in Ivoryton Connecticut is celebrating it centennial. With the centennial came a change to the website -- it is now interactive.  Here is the link. The first show is The Irish...and How They Got That Way by Frank McCourt.

I recently wrote an article for Triond on Online Recipes and Blogging. I haven't been writing as many articles as I use to.

Tonight I tried making Poulet au  Beurre. I found this recipe in this Classic French Cooking cookbook. It did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I will have to try again. 

Here is a picture of the failed bird.

Despite the fact that I made a mistake with the recipe and will have to try again. I still am able to make the bird  nice and juicy.

Try new things, make mistakes, and have new experiences,
