An Algerian Chicken paired with Organic Wines from South Africa #EattheWorld #WinePW

When I was visiting my friend Linda in Tucson last month,  she gifted me a packet of Ras el Hanout that she had picked up during a cruise to northern Africa.  I decided to use it to make this Algerian Chicken dish.

Then, since I am hosting our Eat the World event this month, I invited the others to visit Algeria with me.

Celebrating National Mulled Wine Month French Style

March is National Mulled Wine Month.  I would have expected this delicious, aromatic delight to be celebrated in the dead of winter, perhaps January or February, but it is a delightful way to welcome in Spring while the chill remains in the air.

Vin Chaud

In France, Mulled Wine is Vin Chaud, and since it is time for the French Winophiles to gather, I asked the others to join me in celebration.  Cheers.......

All Hallows Eve is nearly upon us.  In Horror, I realized I still had not used my Jack O' Lantern pan.  I have a kitchen and garage full of specialty pans, tools, and gadgets.  I try to use them at least once a year so I am not overcome with guilt and horror LOL.

Adagio Teas contacted me and graciously offered to send me free products, from their Selafina line of spices, for use in recipes.  I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post.  All writings and opinions are strictly my own.

Happy October everyone.  I am so happy to be celebrating Fall and preparing for Halloween. I know that I'm not alone because my friend, Amy of Amy's Cooking Adventures, announced that she wanted us all to revisit the Halloween classic "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" for our Movies and Munchies event this month.

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

This movie first came out in 1966.  I was 8 years old.  I watched it each year and when I had kids I watched it with them.
