Curry Chicken & Coconut Soup
Char and I have made this a few times now. It is creamy, spicy with a bit of curry bite... and it is very yummy! A great soup to warm you up or clear your sinuses!
Oh... by the way, you can always hold back on some of the spice if this recipe carries too much heat for you.

Char-Grilled Oysters
You're not going to believe how good these things are. Really. I mean that. Whew, I'm getting hungry just thinking about them!
Oysters. Those ugly little things that, once opened, yield such soft delicious goodness. They bite too. Well, the cocktail sauce that Char and I prepare and use when eating raw oysters... that bites. But it is oh-so-good.
Next to raw oysters, these are our favorites. Char-grilled oysters. You've got to try them to believe it!

Catholic Foodie Anniversary Ale
"This is a rich brown ale with subtle hop flavoring and bitterness. Soft palate and residual sweetness make this beer reminiscent of Newcastle Brown Ale due to the addition of the brown sugar."
Ingredients (to make 6 gallons)
Turkey & Andouille Gumbo
There's nothing like a good gumbo here in Louisiana, especially during the blistery cold winters we have.
OK. I'm kidding about the blistery cold winters (even though it did snow last year!). But I am serious about the gumbo.
A few years ago I came across a recipe by Emeril Lagasse for a turkey-bone gumbo. I made it once and we fell in love with it. It is now a staple dish in our family, especially during the holiday season. Over the last few years, I have made a number of adjustment to his recipe. I would like to share my version with you.
INGREDIENTS
Turkey Stock
There's nothing like a good stock to add zap and zing to your soups and gumbos. And stocks are so easy to make!
Since this is Thanksgiving time, I have a special turkey stock that I want to share with you. I make this stock right after every Thanksgiving and Christmas. And I use it in my famous Turkey & Andouille Gumbo.
Here's how I do it:
