I’m gearing up to produce two, new cooking segments with Jan Matthews-Hodges.  She hit a grand slam with two excellent sweet potato recipes, so I’ve challenged her to come with with two new recipes.  The featured ingredient is basically moonshine, but North Carolina-distilled apple brandy will be used as well.

The idea of food segments is highly appealing and I really don’t know why.  But, I watch Anthony Bourdain even as I type this.  Andrew Zimmern is DVR’d.  The last two food segments, which I produced but did not appear on camera, just felt “right.”  Simple and helpful.

And I learned a very good sweet potato pancake recipe as a result.  Moonshine, here we come……the legal moonshine, that is.
