Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
why does everything have eggs?!
i love eggs, but there is such a thing as too many of them.
Healthy & Delicious: Mushroom Risotto
i love the tone of this piece - something i can relate to!
would using vegetable stock made from a good-quality boullion paste still result in good flavor?

firmly stating the facts is not minimizing anything, although it may not have come with the dramatic adjectives you were looking for.
so, she stated the facts and statistics concurrent with your post. maybe you're disappointed because they didn't come belabored with

In Season: Sweet Potatoes
made some buckwheat sweet potato cake w/ orange glaze a few days ago.

i just subbed in regular flour and a T of cornstarch for the gluten-free flours and xanthan gum.
Cakespy: Cherry Almond Osgood Pie
love the illustrations, and this pie looks GREAT! i love this recent vein here and at NYT of 'vintage' recipes that are getting needed recognition/innovation.
what's for dinner 11/4?
ate a tomato, basil, fresh mozz., and artichoke heart panini at work (Italian cafe) around 4:30. just now had some dessert - a "test" slice of orange-glazed buckwheat sweet potato loaf cake. mmmm.
Meet Your Farmers: Wes Shannon, a Peanut Farmer in Tifton, Georgia
agreed with redfish.
Wes, do you ever make your own peanut butter?
Bouchon Bakery's Fluffernutter Sandwich
ever since i saw this picture i have been craving said sandwich more and more and more and more....
Cakespy: Leftover Halloween Candy Pie
i'm FOR this. all i have are York patties and Almond Joys, though...hmmm...
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
rotini with spicy tomato basil sauce while watching a murder mystery next to my mother.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
i'm making these and i am fully prepared to do battle with a jar of marshmallow fluff.
Bittersweet Chocolate and Hazelnut Cookies
I just made these and they turned out GREAT. I ended up using walnuts and unsweetened chocolate (so had to add more sugar), but I think it stands testimony to the strength of this recipe that they still came out so delicious. Glad the cookie size is tiny, because these are intense.
That's Nuts: Five Things To Do with Leftover Halloween Candy
i used to trade my brother 3 Musketeers for Reese's. neither of us liked Laffy Taffy, so we tried to give it to my mother, who accepted it wreathed in smiles and then later threw in the bin. does anyone actually like and eat Laffy Taffy?
Seriously Italian: Fig and Almond Cookies
i wonder if i could make these with dates? i'm allergic to figs. :(
Kimchi Donuts from Dunkin' Donuts in Korea
@acidic - "a tangy custard filled thing" sounds exactly like something i want to eat!
What strange things are in the door of your fridge?
date syrup, strange hoisin/duck sauce collections, antibiotics for our cats, catnip, bottles of IPA, peach jam that didn't gel, marinated baby eggplants, and very old tapenade.. :|
how to make a Fluffernutter sandwich?
okay, that is definitive then!
except now i have a giant tub of Fluff and only sandwiches to eat it on. no hardship though, really.... :}
Cereal with Water and Other Cereal Compulsions
@mtgall - well what else was she going to do with it? :p
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
toss up: Smitten Kitchen, TGWAE, or David Lebovitz!
The Most Unhealthy Thing You've Ever Made
Paula Deen's already been name-dropped twice!
caramel peanut-butter truffle pecan ice cream. it was a Barefoot Contessa recipe, originally just with chocolate chips, but we decided to add Lindt peanut butter truffles, because why not? it was already made with screaming amounts of heavy cream (no milk or 1/2 & 1/2), eggs, butter, and sugar. it was SOOOOOO good, but no one would eat it because it was so fattening and we couldn't give it away.
my mom and i had to eat it all by ourselves... :)
Polenta appetizers?
you can put anything on top of good polenta and it'll be delicious! fact!
Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel Pumpkin Chowder
i think this is the unhappy result of eating a soup mix made by a container store.
What's up for dinner tonight? Sunday 10/11.
rainy all day here. fresh ricotta-filled ravioli (bought from local maker) with fresh oregano, sundried tomatoes, zucchini. maybe a side salad?
What's for dinner tonight???
sweet potatoes baked with lemon juice, brown sugar, little bit of butter, cranberries and almonds + celery sticks and cream cheese.
yeah, why not.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
These are incredible. I am throwing out my pumpkin roll recipe and bringing these to Thanksgiving! Husband, toddlers, and grandma all loved these mini whoopie pies. Wouldn't change a thing about the recipe (I used the small scoop).
In Season: Sweet Potatoes
At my cafe, one of our most popular sides are our sweet potato hash browns which we serve year round. I have never been a fan of sweet potato fries but I do dig the hash browns. Simple to make, too. Shred a sweet potato using a food processor or box grater. Toss the hash with some corn starch to coat them and simply cook on a medium high griddle with a little canola oil. When they are brown and crisp flip for about a minute more. We season ours with a mix that is 5% cayenne pepper and 95% cinnamon.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Made these tonight for the first time... absolutely delicious! But for me, the pumpkin purée makes them almost TOO moist (a better problem to have than not). Might try increasing the dry ingredients just a bit for the next go 'round.
Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon
Sounds beautiful.... bacon, sausage, ohh my!
I fancy this recipe and am certain to have it at my Thanksgiving table.
Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
To SugarApple I say -
Crisco is now transfat free.
And if you keep butter cold enough and don't overwork the dough, you'll have a delightfully falky biscuit that way too.
Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
Does everything have to have bacon in it? Geez.
Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon
OMG, this is definitely going to be the dressing for us this Thanksgiving. I've been doing a cornbread, smoked sausage, and herb dressing for he last few years, but the sausage always steals the show. It's delicious, but I like to taste turkey too.
Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
Just curious - how do restaurants in NYC make a good, flaky biscuit? No trans fats (i.e. Crisco) allowed and I can't see New Yorkers loving the lard. What do they use?
Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon
Who doesn't love bacon?? And stuffing made with bacon has to be the talk of the town! I'm dithcing my old recipe and going ot make this receipe for my family this year! Can't wait to taste it!
Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon
Sounds really good, can't wait to try it! My favorite sounding recipe so far.
Cakespy: Cherry Almond Osgood Pie
consider basalmic vinegar ...

Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon
I think this recipe takes the cake for most drool-inducing Thanksgiving recipe!

What strange things are in the door of your fridge?
The usual assortment of American and Asian condiments, pickles, capers, sundried tomatoes and olives. A jar of yellow curry paste and a jar of Jamaican jerk seasoning.
Here's the one oddity: macapuno strings (I make a killer fruit salad of fresh strawberries, a drained can of lychee, and macapuno)
@WIGirl : Try this with your red curry paste. Fry about a tablespoon of paste in a skillet for a minute. Stir in a can of coconut milk and a can of water. Toss in a pound of chuck roast cut into 1 inch cubes. Simmer for about 45 minutes until the meat is done and the gravey thickens - watch that it doesn't get too dry. A simple substitute for Indonesian rendang. Serve over rice.
Cakespy: Cherry Almond Osgood Pie
Thanks for sharing, Carol! I also just had a friend who made it and didn't have cloves so she omitted them, and it tasted fine like that too!
Cakespy: Cherry Almond Osgood Pie
I printed it out with the TBL directions but as I was grating my nutmeg it occurred to me that I had never in my life put a TBL of spice in anything, much less 3 of them. I came back to find the revised recipe and I still cut the spice to 1/2 tsp of each and it was delicious.
Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
Yes, it's pretty hard to enjoy a meal at Brooklyn Star without getting airlifted out afterwards. But very, very worth it.
Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
Haha, it took me a minute to get the pun. I love that you pointed out that it was a pun!
Brooklyn Star Brunch: The South Has Risen Again in Williamsburg
PORK CHOP, I LOVE YOU. If only I could've added Japanese curry.
