When I was a kid, I developed an [tag]allergy[/tag] to peanut butter, something I loved to eat by the spoonful. While others ate it, mixing clumps with strawberry jam and putting it between two slices of bread, I stood by drooling; then, with a sense of defeat, I went to stick my head in my Easy Bake Oven. To me, there was nothing worse than being five years old and having a peanut allergy; it‘s the equivalent to having a wine allergy when you’re over 21.

Whether it is java, lattes, cappuccino, espresso or just a plain old cup of Joe - coffee is America’s preferred method of energy boost. With that said, there’s nothing like the first double espresso in the morning to clear the cobwebs from our heads so we can face the day. But what is espresso? What makes it different from any other coffee?
From Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell’s website comes a recipe for a Kentucky classic, Burgoo, a kind of stew that Alton Brown wanted to try in his summer TV series and trip across America. Alton never got his (Indiana burgoo doesn’t count), but now you can have this authentic Kentucky classic at home.
BURGOO
Ingredients Group One (1)
1 4-to-5 pound hen
1 pound beef stew meat
1 pound veal stew meat
4 large beef or knuckle bones
4 quarts water
Ingredients Group Two (2)
6 onions, finely chopped
2 green peppers, finely chopped
1 medium turnip, finely diced
8-10 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
celery, carrot, onion, parsley
2 cups shelled fresh butter beans
1-10 oz. can tomato puree
2 cups thinly sliced celery
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1 red pepper pod
Ingredients Group Three (3)
2 cups fresh okra, sliced
2 cups fresh corn (6 ears)
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon each lemon juice, Worcestershire, sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
1/2 unpeeled lemon, seeded
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
The ingredients and time needed to complete this recipe can seem overwelming,
but it can be quite simple if you allow yourself two days to complete.
This recipe makes one gallon.
Combine the ingredients in Group One (1) in a large pot, bring to a boil,
cover and simmer for four hours. Let cool and strain. Finely cut chicken
and meat, remove all skin, bone and gristle. (This is a perfect time to
use kitchen scissors.) Return meat to stock and refrigerate.
The following day skim off half of the congealed fat from the top of
the stock. Return pot to stove, add the ingredients in Group Two (2).
Simmer for one hour until thick.
Cut corn twice and scrape cobs for milk. Add this along with the remaining
Group Three (3) ingredients to the pot. Cook, uncovered, at 300 for two hours
until the consistency is a thick stew.
Serve in mugs and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
