I enjoyed doing this last week, found some fun new sites, figured I would indeed try to make it a habit. So I've got some iTunes fired up (you can follow along here), and off we go.

First stop, is Anthony's Kitchen, where he's posted a recipe for Dahi Chicken w/ Capsicum. Anthony calls his site the "bachelor cooking blog", and is a place (I'm guessing) for bachelor men from India to find traditional recipes, to offer a respite from "outside" food as he calls it. Any recipe that calls for 8-9 cloves of garlic is a must try for me!
From their, we follow a link from Anthony's "world chefs" blog roll to Eat Stuff - A GIRL A GUY AND A CAT EATING STUFF AROUND SYDNEY AUSTRALIA. So we've found ourselves in Australia now, (from Tampa, to India to Australia in no time!). I really like the apple ginger dessert calzone they offer up. I've always been fond of desserts that take a twist on a savory dish. Once upon a time, in a different life, I would do chocolate "burritos". Basically it was chocolate rolled and filled with ganache, and then finished with a creme anglaise and warm chocolate sauce. But I digress. Where will we find our selves next?
Ah, Northern California this time, at I'm mad and I eat, where among other things, where we are told to not "vote for the twinkie" (cookiecrumb likes to mix a little politics into her food writing :) ). Aside from that, there are some beautiful pictures, and I really like the post on making ketchup. Definitely will be back this way sooner than later. So half way to our 6 degrees, what's next?
Ah, feeling a little thirsty, I see a link, Quaffability. Great, mostly wine, mostly under $12 (mostly from Trader Joes - something we don't have down here in Tampa, but we do have a liquor barn (or some Wine Warehouse type deal)). What's the latest offering? Perfect, a $4.99 bottle of Rosé. The heat here in Florida is getting to the point of justifiable homicide, so a Rosé is a perfect choice. Thanks. Another excellent site for the blogroll. This is fun.
A limited list of blogs to exit out of Quaffability leads us to a Knife's Edge, a blog on restaurant rants and raves. A funny story about getting a call from the Oprah show highlights the main page.
To wrap things up this week, I couldn't resist this blogs name in praise of sardines. Another west coast blogger (hmm, gotta find some foodies here on the east coast and down south), Brett discusses the differences of fresh, and FRESH seafood, as he discovered on a recent trip to Spain. Equally mentioned on the site, is I eat and I'm mad did, was a monthly "eat locally challenge". Great images of artichokes and cherries, among other images in other posts.
So there we have it, 6 more degrees of Cooking with miklb. From Florida, to India, to Australia, and then onto several stops on the west coast. I've added some new links, and will continue to look for more, so as to have an even greater choice of starting points. Look for a post soon on seafood from me as well, discussing some recent articles I've found on sustainability and responsible fishing.

I've had this idea for some time, and after reading a few "blogroll dives", such as Bonnie's entertaining Super Sabado, I've decided to do the same here at cookingwith. I'll start with a blog link in my sidebar, and then follow links from that site. My goal is to hopefully find great new food ideas, and new blogs to read. So we'll start things off with The Adventures of a Pie Queen, and see that she's making a birthday banana pie. From there, we find Farmgirl Fare, and her bounty of garden fresh arugula, which she's transformed into a pesto.
Heading out of from Farmgirl, we find The Wednesday Chef, a blogger from NY who's on a quest to suss out the competition she sees between the LA and NY Times food sections. Her most recent post Simone Beck's Bread Pudding with Prunes and Apricots, looks at an article from an LA Times in February.
Moving on from there, I find Orangette, discussing lima beans ( a often overlooked vegetable, IMVHO). Garlicky lima beans at that. (Some simple, yet beautiful pictures accompany the post).
With my hunger building, I head over to chez pim, where she discusses pairing wines with Thai food. Nice range of selections, from the obvious choice of rieslings, to a few reds that could stand the dominant flavors of the cuisine.
Finally, we wind up at the Accidental Hedonist, where the discussion is about breakfast. Good old fashioned, diner-esque breakfast.
So there we have it, my first six degrees of Cooking with Miklb. I might try to do this weekly, maybe a Friday kinda thing.

If any of the 4 people who read this site find it interesting or fun, I'd love to hear from you.
