This week, the Kitchn points out that "an apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze." Some people melt a wedge of cheese on top, while others grate it into the filling or bake it into the crust.
Also on the Kitchn, dyeing pasta, roasting stuffed pumpkins, a kale slaw with peanut dressing recipe, and Garrison Keillor's song about guilty food pleasures.
- Colorful Cooking: How to Make Colored Pasta: Sure you can buy pre-colored pasta at the store, but why not add some vegetable puree (or squid ink!) yourself.
- Autumn Supper: Savory Stuffed Pumpkin: What can you do with a hollowed-out pumpkin cavity besides jack-o-lanternify it? Stuff it with bread, roasted garlic, spices, and a little cream, roast it, then grab a spoon.
- Autumn Salad Recipe: Kale Slaw with Peanut Dressing: Sometimes kale tastes a little too, er, kaley, but this recipe for a crunchy, salty, slightly sweet slaw with peanuts and cider vinegar looks pretty exciting.
- Food Music: Garrison Keillor's Forbidden Tastes: This song about fried eggs with mustard and chocolate-bacon cake all stemmed from one of Keillor's Facebook updates.
