The quintessential summer pasta dish. Light, tasty and pretty enough to eat! Cutting the zucchini into strips and cooking them until they’re tender but still holding their shape allows them to twist and turn around the fusilli, clinging to the noodles like sauce.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Meanwhile, trim and discard ends of zucchini. Cut each zucchini into 3- to 4-in. lengths; cut each length into 1/4- to 1/2-in.-thick matchsticks and set aside. Chop garlic and set aside. Cut basil leaves into thin ribbons and set aside.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, toast pine nuts, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp. butter with 2 tsp. olive oil. Increase heat to high and add half of the zucchini and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook zucchini, stirring frequently, until soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving as much of the butter and oil in the pan as possible. Repeat with remaining zucchini and 1/4 tsp. salt. Remove frying pan from heat and reserve.
Add remaining 1 tbsp. salt and fusilli to boiling water and cook until pasta is tender to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

The History and Tradition of Afternoon Tea
The tradition of afternoon tea started in the early 19th Century when the wealthy set felt they needed a ‘pick-me-up’ in the afternoon. This is not surprising because they typically ate just 2 meals a day; breakfast and dinner, so the skipping of that 3rd meal led to a mid afternoon slump hence the creation of afternoon tea.

The Perfect Father’s Day Dinner! The flat iron steak is the second most tender cut of beef, after the petite filet mignon. A true flat iron is cut horizontally just above and below that tough muscle (rather than vertically through it) so the muscle can be discarded and all that is left is very flavorful and tender beef.
Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, quarter each potato lengthwise to form wedges and put in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

This is the recipe you need for those potluck gatherings where you really want to impress but then find you’re supposed to bring…potato salad. This version will wow, from its beautiful indigo color to its rich, smoky flavor.
Preheat a gas grill to medium (about 400°F) on one side, or push hot coals to one side of a charcoal grill. Place a disposable aluminum pan directly on the burner on lit side of the gas grill, and add soaked wood chips to pan, or scatter wood chips on hot coals of charcoal grill; heat until wood chips are smoking.
Place potatoes in a disposable aluminum pan; place on grates over unlit side of grill. Grill, covered, 20 minutes. Rotate pan halfway; grill, covered, until potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 more minutes. Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl; add radishes.
Whisk together oil and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour dressing over potatoes and radishes; toss to coat.

It is hard to get simpler, or more Southern, than Can Chicken. For this recipe, two whole chickens are marinated in a mixture that includes liquid steak seasoning, rosemary, garlic, and pepper. The chickens then get oven-baked vertically over opened cans of ginger ale until they are perfectly roasted. The secret is that in the hot oven the ginger ale steams, keeping the chicken moist. This easy roasting method also allows fat to drip through and around the chickens, giving them a rich flavor and a beautiful golden-brown color. This will taste great on the table—fresh and hot, it would certainly give “canned chicken” a whole new meaning.
