Peckerwood Cafe: Open for Business. Lets Talk About Food.

By

 



Yes, you read that right. We are opening the cafe for business. We will meet here 2 or 3 nights a week and discuss food, what we ate that day, what we love to eat, diets, recipes for food and drinks, restaurants, tips, and food stories. If it has to do with food, bring it here. I have yet to iron out which days for this post would be best but feel free to add some suggestions you would love to see on these posts. If we post recipes from sites please post a photo to keep the thread colorful and appetizing. If you have a recipe you like but want to ask our opinions, that is great. We love and talk about the food here a lot, so why not get together and eat!

So the questions I have for our Inaugural Post are these:

  • Do you like to cook?
  • What topics would you love to have on the days this is posted?
  • Would you like to become a better cook?
  • Top Three Ethnic Foods you love?
  • How old were you when you started cooking?
  • What type of diet are you on? 
  • What would you like to see on these posts?
  • Your signature dish?
  • Favorite Beverage?
  • If you could go to three restaurants in the entire world, what would they be?
This is a way to get to know each other better through food. One of the ways I show people that I love and care about them is to nurture them with food. My kitchen is a place people love to gather because I purposely decorated it to be inviting and comforting. 

My food journey started at 5 years old, making scrambled cheese eggs for myself, and I found something I have loved ever since. I have become an excellent cook, and over the years, I have many recipes I invented and some favorites from the internet. I would love to get even better at cooking and growing food, but I need more time to maintain a garden. My top 3 ethnic foods are Mexican, Spanish, and French, though they are closely followed by various others. There is no food type I don't like, and I can't follow any kind of diet that restricts anything. I just love to eat everything, so that ain't happening. My signature dishes may be tamales, cassoulet, and paella. I love red wine and martinis. I would like to try so many restaurants it is hard to name three, from food carts to fancypants Michelin-starred places.

There is my story; how about yours?

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
