Louisiana-style Chicken Curry

This is based on a recipe from Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen. The main difference is that my version is much lower in fat (Paul calls for two sticks of butter, plus two tablespoons chicken fat, plus an optional four tablespoons additional butter!). The curry has a delicious blend of sweet fruit and hot peppers. It's definitely worth the chopping and long cooking time (45+ minutes). Step 1 : Prepare the first seasoning mix, by combining: • 2 tablespoons curry powder • 1 teaspoon ground red pepper (such as cayenne) • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander Set aside. Step 2 : In a 4 quart pan combine • 2 chopped onions (about 3 cups) • fresh minced hot pepper (5 tablespoons jalapenos OR 1 habanero) • 1 stick of butter or margarine • the seasoning mix (step 1) Cook over high heat until the butter melts (about 5 minutes), stirring ...

Diet of the Future

Remember the Woody Allen movie, Sleeper ? The health food-loving hero is frozen, and wakes up hundreds of years in the future, only to find that he was all wrong about junk food. Dr. Melik: [puzzling over list of items sold at Miles' old health-food store] ... wheat germ, organic honey and... tiger's milk. Dr. Aragon: Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties. Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge? Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true. Dr. Melik: Incredible! ABC news recently had a features on what nutrition will be like in 2031 . Unfortunately, fried chicken and cheesecake probably won't be on the "nutritious" list, but there will be some good eatin': Dark chocolate, long recognized as both a rich indulgence and a health food, will dominate stores and homes alike. Milk...

Where are the modern miracles?

I've always been fascinated by futurology articles, since they tell you so much about the times they were written in. The Modern Mechanix blog has a great article along those lines: "Miracles You'll See in the Next Fifty Years", published in the February 1950 issue of Popular Mechanics , by Waldemar Kaempffert . Kaempffert was no ordinary reporter. He had a long career in science journalism, with stints as managing editor of Scientific American (1900-1916), editor of Popular Science Monthly (1916-1922), and Editor of Science and Engineering at the New York Times (1922-1928, 1931-1956). He was also director of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago for several years, leaving after a dispute with the board of directors over the objectivity of the exhibits (and his lax accounting practices). Kaempffert saw first hand the rapid development in technology. He was born in New York in 1877, the year after Bell patented the telephone. He saw the rise of the automobile,...
