1 quart of Boiling Water
1 Cup Basmati or Jasmine Rice
2 Fresh Bay Leaves (Yeah you can use dried whole bay leaves)
1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
Lil butter to taste....
Bring the water to a boil with the Bay leaves.
Add the salt, stir. Next stir in rice. Don't agitate the rice by stirring too much!
Let it come to a boil, cover yo' pot with a lid lower/BRING DOWN THE HEAT - LO/MED.
Cook for about 11-15 minutes.
Check for tenderness with a bite - (a bite feel is not a crunch sound.)
When it’s tender, drain if needed, pluck out the bay leaves, and serve.
Not admitting that I was a writer and how much I loved writing.
When the person asked me if I was a writer.
I shook my head, and I lied, and said no.
Worst part of it…..At the time I had published my first book
and didn’t know the person had brought a copy.
Hmmm what webs we weave when we deceive….Our self.
First Delilah said. Then Steven Said and then….. Well check out the article! http://delilahmarvelle.blogspot.com/2014/01/an-open-letter-to-ceo-of-kensington.html
The conversation went something like this........Delilah said
"DELILAH: The attitude, which I admire you for publicly expressing, needs to trickle down to the rest of your staff and business practices. Because when I contacted Kensington a few weeks ago, they told me a.) I couldn’t see the Scribd contract b.) I couldn’t be given any other contract details other than that I would be paid my regular royalties. I would hope I’m getting my FULL royalties given I gave you the rights to do so..........
Then Steven said something like this...... STEVEN: *You are telling everyone that you need lawyers and auditors to get answers. That is simply not true. If you or any author has a question about a royalty statement we are happy to provide answers without you having to hire an experts that will cost you money.* http://delilahmarvelle.blogspot.com/2014/01/an-open-letter-to-ceo-of-kensington.html

1 Quart buttermilk
3 tablespoons salt
4 pounds of bone in chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, wings etc)
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 &1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
5 cups of vegetable oil
In a LARGE BOWL - Whisk together 3 ¼ cups of the buttermilk and the salt together.
MAKE SURE SALT DISSOLVES
Then Add Chicken & coat chicken thoroughly in Buttermilk mixture AND NEXT cover the bowl AND REFRIGRATE FOR AT LEAST 1(ONE) HOUR
After one hour has passed. In another large bowl whisk together the rest of the flour, thyme, pepper and garlic powder
Next Use your favorite Dutch oven, or Cast Iron Skillet, Frying Skillet etc. It is said that the Dutch Over pot works best but you know what your favorite frying skillet looks and cooks like. Pour in ENOUGH OIL for frying (Yep) I’m trusting that you know what ENOUGH IS). Heat skillet to frying temperature. (At the same time you start your skillet or Dutch oven. ALSO PREHEAT you baking oven to 315 degrees) Next remove the chicken buttermilk and then coat it in the flour mixture and slowing place in a couple of chicken pieces heated frying skillet or Dutch oven
Fry over medium heat and turn chicken pieces every four minutes or as they brown, add more pieces to fryer as space allows. Turn chicken every four minutes as they brown to make sure evenly brown all way around. After browning chicken on all sides approximately for 10 minutes DRAIN chicken pieces as they finish on a paper towel and then Place in your OVEN for 10 MINUTES before serving
