<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On September 23rd, the 14th annual Hampton Bays Chili/Chowder Contest was held at the Boardy Barn on a sunny autumn afternoon. It was a fantastic event that Block Island Seafood Co. was proud to participate in. BISCo. came with our special clam chowder and, lucky for us, attendees thought it was special, too. The event kicked-off at 12:00 p.m. and hoards of hungry attendees swarmed the booths sampling piping hot chowders and spicy chilies from local restaurants and men and women who, simply, just like to cook. It was anyone's game and I truly loved the spirit of the competition. Our booth was next to a fella named Tom. Tom doesn't have any formal training in the culinary arts but he knows how to make a damn fine chili. He didn't even bring a sign---someone went home and made him one. A true underdog who went home trophy in hand--Tom won 1st prize peoples' choice. I was thrilled for him! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was serving up large samples of our chowder with a crimson dusting of paprika. Samplers were coming back three, four and five times to try our chowder! Before I knew it our kettle had run dry. With 3.5 hours left in the competition I figured it was a lost cause and resorted to handing out oyster crackers and postcards. Disappointed attendees were turned away from our booth. I felt like I had let people down and especially myself. I was at a chowder contest without chowder. As the event organizers began to announce the winners I felt proud to have competed in such esteemed company yet couldn't ignore the</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> pit in my stomach.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I felt cheated, by myself, that I wasn't able to have a fair shot since less than 50% of the attendees had a chance to sample our chowder. Peoples' Choice was the award that I was really after and it now felt out of reach. The booming voice on the microphone came on to announce that the 2nd Place Peoples' Choice was awarded to a new comer by the name of the Block Island Seafood Co.! With a mix of surprise and disbelief I raced towards the stage to receive the award that I so longing for. It was a happy day with an unexpected ending. I am looking forward to next year and plan on doubling my batch! </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As the temperatures start to rise, it’s time to draw our
attention to a summer pastime: Grilling!
Whether it’s chicken, pork or beef that will be making an appearance on
the grill this season, it’s important to have a killer rub to flavor those
meats. When I was experimenting with
different rubs, I wanted to come up with something that has a strong pronounced
flavor and was bold and somewhat spicy.
The unique addition to this rub is the chipotle powder. It gives the rub a smoky edge and puts your taste
buds on notice. I love to use this rub
on my pork ribs, rib eye steaks and chicken thighs. I will usually put the rub on the night
before I am going to grill so the flavor penetrates the meat and deepens the flavor
of the rub. And if you need to cut the
smokiness and boldness of the rub, honey is usually a great way to sweeten
things. I usually will put the honey on
my meats at the final stages of cooking to avoid it burning. This recipe will make enough rub to have some
on hand for a few grilling sessions. I
hope this rub becomes part of your repertoire and it gets you excited about the
summer and firing up your grill.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here we are on Block Island many years back, before BISCo. was even an idea. On this same trip my father slipped and fell into the pond near the house. I stumbled across this poem and it couldn't be more fitting. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Everyone grumbled. The sky was gray.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We had nothing to do and nothing to say.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We were nearing the end of a dismal day,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And there seemed to be nothing beyond,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> THEN</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Daddy fell into the pond!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And everyone's face grew merry and bright,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And Timothy danced for sheer delight,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He's crawling out of the duckweed." Click!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then the gardner suddenly slapped his knee,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And doubled up, shaking silently,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">O, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> WHEN</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Daddy fell into the pond!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />

Don't eat too much or you will be too full to run. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><b>Barbara's Spaghetti Carbonara (serves 4-6 hungry people)</b></span><br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">6 quarts water</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">1 pound dry spaghetti</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">2 tablespoons sweet butter</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">2 tablespoons olive oil</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">1/2 cup diced bacon</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">1/2 cup diced deli ham (substitute prosciutto if desired)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">3 well-beaten eggs</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">1/2 cup Lucatelli cheese</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">fresh ground pepper to taste</span></li>
</ul><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">In a large pot, bring the water to a rapid boil and add dry spaghetti. Boil for approximately 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the sweet butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Add ham and bacon and sauté. Once the bacon is crisp, remove the skillet from heat. As the meat is cooking, add the cheeses to the beaten eggs and stir gently until mixed. Just before draining the pasta, which should be placed in a large bowl, add the egg and cheese mixture to the skillet and stir quickly for no longer than 30 seconds. Pour the warm mixture over the just-drained spaghetti, add pepper, and toss until noodles are coated. The heat from the spaghetti will cook the egg mixture. Bon appétit!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Cheers! </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Craig</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><a href="http://www.blockislandseafood.com/">www.blockislandseafood.com</a></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><i>Block your party today! </i></span></div>Block Island Seafood Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12031440455172643359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903284828291608306.post-12786995829091359522012-04-12T06:47:00.000-07:002012-04-12T06:47:59.917-07:00Are you ready to rumble???<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.tastingtable.com/entry_detail_pseudo/national/events/lobster-rumble-2012/home">Tasting Table's Lobster Roll Rumble</a> is set for June 7, 2012, at the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #231f20; line-height: 20px;">Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I would like to share with you a very special recipe from my Nana</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">'s kitchen. Nana was a great cook who loved to show her family love by preparing meals and opening her home to everyone. One tidbit, I never once saw her wear a pair of pants-dresses and skirts only for this lady. One of Nana's specialties was Irish Soda Bread. I would like to share this with you today and may you have the luck of the Irish in making it. </span><br />

This recipe for Spanish Romesco will certainly make its way into the BISCo. test kitchen this summer. Just hope I can do it justice. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I’ve decided to feature a traditional Spanish sauce when entertaining this summer. The Spanish favorite I am talking about is romesco. Romesco originated in Tarragons, Spain and <span lang="EN">is typically made from almonds, pine nuts, and/or hazelnuts, roasted garlic, olive oil and nyoras - a smaller, sweet, dried variety of red bell pepper. Other common ingredients include roasted tomatoes, sherry wine vinegar and onion. In this version I like to use roasted tomatoes and shallots that have been roasted in the oven. I also use regular red bell peppers that are readily available all year round. Roasting the tomatoes and shallots; add a whole other dimension to the sauce. In Spain they like to serve romesco with seafood and I totally agree. Serve it with some grilled scallops, halibut or sea bass. I’ve also found it to be wonderful on a medley of grilled vegetables. The possibilities are endless with romesco. I hope you add it to your summer grilling reportaire this season.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Toss tomatoes and shallots olive oil and place on a sheet pan. Place in the oven and cook for about twenty minutes. A light browning is great. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This will bring out the sweetness of the tomatoes and shallots. Remove and set aside till ready to make the sauce.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2) Roast and peel peppers, by placing them over an open flame on the stove or on the grill. Char them well on all sides. When nice and black put them in a heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap. This will create steam. In about 10 minutes you will be able to rinse off the char and have a nice roasted pepper. Remove the seeds and rough chop.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In a pan, sauté the shallots, peppers in a small amount of olive oil.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Add the garlic and sauté for one minute. Then add the tomato and the roasted pepper.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sauté for five minutes more or until all the ingredients are softened.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4) Carefully put everything but the olive oil in a blender and blend. Be very careful because the contents are hot. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a thin stream. If necessary add a bit of vegetable stock to the sauce. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It really depends on the moisture content of the vegetables.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">5) At this point you can serve the sauce with your wonderfully grilled creations or refrigerate it until ready to use. To reheat, place in a sauce pan and heat gently till sauce is hot. This recipe should make you about 2 cups of finished sauce.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Think about it, stores aren't going to stock foods that people do not want to buy, so if we keep buying foods that are bad for us, they have no reason to change their inventory. </span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTO9CxHh-_BzexWk2P7RHKUiovU_pq9NORA8-iQBhsooZaNQhzrATrW_h-rJRygk-bMEyI-9Izo7z7zvkZ92OcG3E-oF5Wxjx5GeUPkUjjod14eldfmPwX74XPHJCbthVonuwR7zh4FtoE/s1600/51kL5kL8+7L._SL500_AA300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTO9CxHh-_BzexWk2P7RHKUiovU_pq9NORA8-iQBhsooZaNQhzrATrW_h-rJRygk-bMEyI-9Izo7z7zvkZ92OcG3E-oF5Wxjx5GeUPkUjjod14eldfmPwX74XPHJCbthVonuwR7zh4FtoE/s1600/51kL5kL8+7L._SL500_AA300_.jpg" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Ingredients </i>does a great job of informing viewers, in a positive way, of their message---some documentaries can be a bit too alarmist for me and it takes the pleasure out of an evening of movie going/watching. Interviews with real farmers who are harvesting crops when they are in season, breaking bread with their workers, having a respect for the land, etc. pepper this film and just make you want to run out and stick your hands in the dirt.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As a small business owner, I prefer to support small businesses with any purchase that I can. It makes the transaction so much more personal, while enhancing the community at large. I have become close with my fish mongers, my produce folks, etc. and as a result I can trust the foods that I am preparing for BISCo. customers and my family. I am not just a scan across the checkout counter, I am a face and a person. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One way that we can all support our farmers is to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). You pre-pay for your allotment of produce and then pick it up at a designated location each week. I was really pleased to learn that Queens, NY has an abundance of offerings for CSAs. You can find a CSA near you <a href="http://www.localharvest.org/csa/">here</a>. CSAs are a great way to support farmers and develop a relationship with the people growing your food. There is something old-school about it--making your meals out of what is in season, using fresh ingredients that flavor your meal in a much more impactful way, and it also forces you to experiment with new foods that you may never have picked up on your own. It can seem expensive upfront but typically turns out to be about $20 per week. You know what they say, you are what you eat! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This past weekend BISCo. took a trip to Rhode Island and it was just what the doctor ordered. One of the many delights of the weekend included a visit to <a href="http://www.mooringrestaurant.com/index.html">The Mooring</a> in Newport. After a nice scenic drive looking at some rather large homes, we treated ourselves to drinks and nibbles at The Mooring. The design was clean, nautical, and classic and the bartenders were honest, helpful, and friendly. I knew it would be a good spot once I walked through the door. </span><br />
