Yep, I like cooking because I like eating.

So over the years, the learning, the practice and the eating have been right up there with other endeavors. Seems like I didn't really come into my own in the kitchen until sometime in my late 50's, though, that's when the skills really seemed to start coming together.

Today I made my signature Peanut Butter Chicken over long grain rice, an old North African dish that I've modified here and there, chicken, braised first, then slow cooked, add hand diced tomatoes, braise the onions, bell peppers, celery in EVOO, then put all but the rice together with a big dollop of peanut butter, ground hot red pepper, pepper flakes from red chiles, not too much, mind you, garlic, parsley and a drizzle in a taste of honey and simmer. Serve over the rice.

Feelin' well fed here now.

Anyway, I got to wondering if we have any other chefs and cheffettes around here, it has been my experience that musicians are into cooking. Well, some of us.

Got any favorite recipes or dishes?
