Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
Serious Eats and Smitten Kitchen and Pioneer woman. Love all 3
Where do you put condiment sauce on your burger.
for me it's a little bit of mayo on each bun, onions and pickles on the top. Ketchup is put on the plate for dipping.
What's your spice aversion?
Anise/fennel seed and as long as ginger is a background note it's fine, but once i can pick it out, no thanks. tastes like soap to me.

Your Clever SE Name
alm25 is the beginning part of an email address i've had forever. Not sure why i put that down instead of my usual moniker of daesylady.
What's up for dinner tonight? Thursday 10/15
I peeled and cubed a butternut squash, roasted it and then mashed w/ salt, pepper and butter. Also had meatloaf and a green salad.
Serious Cocktails: Women and Whiskey
I'm female and love whiskey. It's my favorite liquor, followed by gin. For me it's Jameson or Redbreast, on the rocks. I would say two of my female friends are whiskey drinkers as well. And I must say, I do get raised
eyebrows and lots of "wows" from guys who find out I like whiskey. lol.
What do turnips go with?
i usually just eat my turnips raw, sliced thin and sprinkled w/ a little salt. I just haven't gotten myself to like them cooked.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Baking
simple deeply pumpkiny pumpkin bread.
Walk the Wok. Talk the Talk. Dinner Saturday, Oct. 10th.
i just finished putting together a small pot of chili to have. I think I might have to go get buttermilk so we can have cornbread along with it.
Best apples for baking?
I've made an apple pie and crisp recently, and I used Fuji apples. They worked great, keeping their shape very well. I decided to go w/ that since they are sweeter and I can cut back on other sugar as a result.
Kale, kale and more kale
I 2nd MaeMae's suggestion of kale chips... they are so good and addictive.
What's for dinner tonight???
It's been a crappy week here, so I'm going for warm comfort tonight, Tuna Casserole with some sauteed kale to go along with.
Cook the Book: 'Dishing Up Vermont'
just left vermont and back toMissouri...so currently... BBQ.
I'm in the mood to bake a cake..............
i've been craving a pineapple upsidedown cake. thinking i might just have to do it this weekend.
What's for Dinner? 09/03
have pork w/ salsa verde in the slow cooker... will be making brow rice to go along with it.
What's for Dinner? 09/01
Made lasagna with a tomato sauce made from fresh tomatoes from the neighbor's garden.
In Memory of The Silver Palate's Sheila Lukins
i am on my third copy of The New Basics... I got my first one around 1993 or 94 when i was in college... it has been a great go to book for me.
One of my favorites of her recipes is the Carrot Cake found in new Basics... and also, Bobbie's Chicken.
What's for Dinner? 08/31
A simple fish soup w/ sole, celery, carrots and a little potato. warm and cozy on a cool day.
I wish I may, I wish I might...
for me it is beets, sea urchin roe and fennel. oh and ginger.
"Nerdy" recipe ideas?
I spent 9 years in computers and brought little meatloaf men more then once, and the software people loved them.. I just used a little man shaped cookie cutter and cut out the raw meatloaf w/ it and baked it... great room temperature.
For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?
Anthony Bourdain, definitely! I love everything about him...
I agree the Neely husband is cute as well. and Jamie Oliver is too adorable.
Hottest Food Network chick?
I've got a girl crush on Nigella as well.
Cook the Book: Easy Gluten-Free Baking
so hard to choose...but i would say warm gooey fudgie brownies.
In Memory of The Silver Palate's Sheila Lukins
In case of hurricane, grab the cookbook.Chicken Marbella, Brie wrapped in Phyllo and Chocolate Hazelnut cake. All have become my friends all time favorites.Rest in Peace Sheila. You paved the way for all the others.
What's your spice aversion?
CUMIN... after 3 weeks in India a few years ago, i developed an aversion to cumin after a whole week straight of eating food seasoned with cumin. Everything tasted the same.
Now, I can't even smell it at the supermarket.
Serious Cocktails: Women and Whiskey
I'm a devotee to peaty scotch whiskeys: Compass Box Flaming Heart and Ardbeg's Airigh Nam Beist (only have had a glass of it, but that baby's on my X-mas list) are my favorites.
Because I usually drink scotch at get togethers, a lot of women will join in with me. I've also found that women of my grandmother's generation (in their 60's, 70's, 80's) are more likely to be scotch drinkers. My own nana, actually, almost had a run-in with my brother in law a few weeks ago, over his putting ice in his scotch. "Ruins the flavor." (I totally agree.)
The best hot sauce
DL Jardine's Texas Champagne has an amazing flavor. I've been using it nearly everyday since I was 12 years old.
