OK - so I decided to do this on a whim and didn't bother to see what I did or didn't have in the kitchen - but what I ended up with was actually really good. I didn't have much chicken - just some rotisserie chunks - so I added portobello mushrooms and the chicken in the sauce. Also didn't have cayenne - so used crushed red pepper (same quantity) and it was a bit on the spicy side - but good. Also added a quarter cup of white wine to balance the mushrooms out. Was fantastic over rice - definitely had the spirit of Celestial Chicken...

I learned to cook at an early age, watching my mother and father.The first meal I cooked, at age 4, was bacon IN eggs, seeing that the griddle was warped to the center. My mother awoke to the smell, and came running, proudly proclaiming,"well my young man, you have been watching".
Ever since then I've been consumed with dishes of my youth. Southern dishes, Italian favorites, Mostly the pursuit of my mom's corned beef and cabbage. Being Irish I've looked high and low.
Last year I received the best cooking compliment EVER. I had made my "Kitchen Sink Gumbo" for a party of 100 at a friends house. I had a gentleman come up to me and say, "Sir I have worked in three different restaurants in New Orleans, and that is THE BEST Gumbo I have ever eaten!"
That's why I keep on searching, to get better and learn.
