In case you missed it, the roast of Bob Saget aired on Comedy Central on Sunday, August 17th. Having watched all of the previous roasts on Comedy Central, I naturally had to tune in.

I have never made a whole stuffed chicken before and I was daunted by the task at hand. Folks at home usually prefer to buy boneless chicken or pre-cut pieces.

I really love chicken cooked with herbs dishes. They just taste and smell so nice not to mentioned good for general health.This is one of the herbal dish I cook rather often. I used to steam it before I have an oven. This time I did it a little different. I roast it! I used the way I did the Roast Chicken with Garlic to make this. It's still taste the same except now we have crispy skin. Okay, it's a bit burned here. :PThis chicken meat is soft, moist and filled with the sweetness of herbs! If I were to do the the conventional way which is steaming, I won't get this result just in 1 to 1 1/2 hours. That's why previously, when I do this, it's at least 3 hours in low fire.And don't forget the soup! That's the best part! Drink it up! There isn't much to go around so you might have to fight

Whenever friends ask me how I roast a pepper, it seems like they think it will be uber complicated. Well, good news, it's not! It's super easy and you do get something absolutely delicious and very healthy. There are different ways to roast a pepper but I like fire roasting, because it requires no pans, just your stove (if you have an electric, you're screwed) and tongs, and of course peppers. You can roast all different kinds (the same way) but my demo is with red bell peppers and when you're roasting these, choose nice thick, fat ones.Just turn your flame on high and throw them on. My flame is on but it doesn't show in the picture (someone scientific, tell me why).They will start to blister and blacken. Turn them so that the non-blackened part is closer to the flame.Continue rotating the

If you haven't noticed the crowds by your local Starbucks, they were giving out free coffee today (starting at different times at different locations), their new Pike Place Roast. I asked Lon to pick me up a cup on his way home from work if the wait wasn't too long, and by around 6:30 PM, there was no one on line. The Pike Place Roast tastes less burnt than their regular coffee but it's still very acidic. It's still not something I would buy. That's just my two cents. Here's what a lot of others think....They seem to be using their old logo again, but the words are different, reading Starbucks, Fresh Roasted Coffee. I'm kind of turned off by the fat mermaid but more importantly, I'm still turned off by their coffee.

This recipe was a recent and splendid new discovery - hailed by the Technical Department as the best version of roast Pork since the classic version with a mustard-and-herb poultice that was immortalised by Julia Child, forty years ago now, in 'Mastering the Art.I was sceptical when I first looked at this one. Having long been devoted to the Barbara Kafka method of roasting (heat the oven to smelting temperature, and then blast the meat for as short a time as possible), the idea of heating the oven to only 175 degrees C seemed highly dubious. And then the fact that the meat only cooks for fifty minutes at that temperature.... Hmmm..But, it works! Even the slightly unexpected combination of Pork wrapped around Pork works well, as the Pancetta becomes beautifully crisp, while the loin wit
