Time Wasters
If working for the school district taught me one thing, it is how to waste time. When you’ve got work to ignore, nothing is better than the Internet. Got some time to kill (or don’t but the boss is out of the office and don’t feel like working)? Here are a few suggestions. I expect that you’ll know at least a few of these but hopefully you’ll find something new to burn a few hours.

Mojo
Mojo, pronounced “mo-ho,” is a sauce/marinade that orginated in the Canary Islands, but is most often seen in Cuban and Caribbean cuisine. It is extremely versatile, I use it as a marinade for grilled fish and poultry. It will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks, and is also good as a finishing sauce.

The ear/tube saga continues. . .
Last week I reported that Captain Evil’s tubes had fallen out. The doctor who gave me the prescription for his antibiotics on Friday afternoon mentioned that there was a 20 percent chance that it would not work and that we may end up back there on Monday for a new prescription. He seemed to get getting better; however, Monday was a particularly bad day for him. After about 2 hours of mostly crying I made another appointment for him to get his ear checked.

Onion Dip
Many of you will recognize this from Good Eats - it’s just about the same. In all honesty, I love Alton’s show for techniques but most of the recipes I’ve tried have been absolute shit. I’ve added a splash of Marsala (you can substitute Madeira) to deglaze the pan after you caramelize the onions. It adds some sweetness and I think takes this recipe to a whole new level. I’ve tried using fresh garlic and it makes it too garlicky. I’ve thought about using roasted garlic but haven’t tried it yet. I’ll change the recipe below if I find that it works. People love this when I bring this to their parties.
