    Today, the members of the Secret Recipe Club are gathering together to honor our friend and fellow blogger Daniel Saraga, who authored the haggis and the herring food blog with his wife Meredith.  Just a few weeks ago Daniel passed away unexpectedly.  The morning I read this, tears sprung immediately to my eyes.  It is amazing how you can feel so much for someone you never met in person but only on the internet.  We had lost a great comrade in our community.  Daniel's wife Meredith posted on their blog sharing the eulogy she had written for his ceremony.  It was a beautiful tribute to the man she loved.  I cannot even imagine having to go on as Meredith will be and my heart goes out to her and her family.

    Daniel was enthusiastic about cooking and creating recipes and I appreciated his knowledge and love for sharing this with his fellow bloggers.  The blog will continue to post scheduled posts that Daniel had set up prior to his passing and it is my understanding that his blog will not end as members of his family plan to keep it going. Daniel will be greatly missed in the blogging world, but his spirit will live on in his posts and I am so happy we have those to go back to again and again.

    I decided to make Daniel's recipe for Cincinnati Style Buffalo Chicken Chili - however I didn't serve ours Cincinnati style.  I decided to serve it over rice.  When I first told Grumpy what I was making, he totally turned his nose up.  He thought it didn't "sound" good.  Then I told him why I was making it and I didn't hear another word out of him.  When it came time to eat, we both fixed our bowls.  I promptly started shooting photos while Grumpy went to sit in his chair to chow down.  When he finished, he commented that it was really good.  Two nights later, I was not feeling up to eating, so Grumpy pulled what was left of the chili out of the fridge and finished it up.  The fact that he ate leftovers is a good indication that it was more than just good to him.  Grumpy is not a leftover kind of person if it's something that was only so so for him.  I think my son Christopher would LOVE this chili.  I'll be letting him know about this post for sure to make certain he tries making it himself!  Buffalo Style Chicken Chili over Jasmine Rice

      I wa very sorry to hear about Daniels passing in the blogosphere today. We had tried to get together for dinner with a group of blogger last summer when I was in TO but it just wasn't in the cards. He will be sorely missed by so many.

      I'd be more than happy to eat the leftovers of this too.

      Oh, and what is it about men and leftovers?! My dad didn't like them and I know a few others who don't. At least Kevin will pretty much eat them, but there's definitely certain things he won't eat leftover, like coagulated gravy. 😉

      Great post, Shelby! Such a sad thing, I'm trying to use it as a way to remember to love and cherish those around me who are still here (and this in the midst of boys driving me crazy on a Monday afternoon with homework and tears! sigh!)

      This would be divine on some sprouted brown rice, I'm sure. I <3 buffalo chicken. I don't think Dan would object to you leaving out the pasta at all. 🙂
