Gluten-Free Tuesday: Delicata Squash

There were two delicata squash in my CSA box this week. Now I can't wait to roast them!

Also consider checking out gophila.com, which is the official tourism website for Philadelphia! One of the most useful things about our site (yes, I work for the website) is the itinerary section. There are lots of weekend-long visits that include restaurant suggestions for every meal along the way.

Canning your own food is really fun and satisfying. I find that jams and fruit butters are the easiest, with pickling running a close second. Having all the special equipment is nice, but not necessary if you're canning on a small scale.

I've recently started a new blog, http://www.foodinjars.com, where I posting canning tutorials and writing about the different projects I do. Stop by if you'd like!

Cook the Book: Truffled Egg Toast

I was just reading this essay this morning (I'm loving the entire book). It prompted me to leap up and make some really gently scrambled eggs. I ate them with a very ripe sliced tomato instead of truffled toast. So good.

Very very important note! I just read that Reading Terminal Market will be closed this Saturday for the holiday. They will have Friday and Sunday hours as normal.

I had a great time at Banana Leaf, which is near Chinatown. Yummy, cheap food in an (admittedly) kitschy, "grass hut" atmosphere.

I feel compelled to comment...I know u said Asian but, make sure you hit up the reading terminal market. Mercato (italian) is an amazing BYOB on 12th & spruce. Oh and Valanni (medi-latin) is over there too, also incredibly amazing! lol

oh -- and you may want to browse around in dibruno brothers, maybe pick up a couple of sandwiches there too. their selection is incredible. scoop de'ville is right there, and if you have kids, it is quite an adorable little ice cream store. but i also can vouch for capogiro's wonderfulness...and i'd venture to say that some of their flavors actually can compete with grom.

oh my. i had been living in nyc for the past 7 years, but went to college in philly. regardless of my access to the nyc dining scene, i (and my friends) would regularly roadtrip to philly PURELY for 1) la colombe coffee 2) monk's moules frites and beer selection and 3) DMITRI'S, the one off of south street, and 3rd - for the AMAZING octopus salad and the shrimp scampi. and the pita. i now live in germany, but for every return trip stateside, i still go to philly if even for a couple hours, just to get some dmitri's. one of my best friends who was living in san diego would also make a twice yearly pilgrimage to said restaurant for the same reason. it's loud, byo, they grill the fish right in front of you. have fun and good luck!

@gingercookie - oh, i've done more research than just the website. it does sound like a super weird place with strange, eccentric owners - that's even more part of the draw for me. i love that kinda crap. see roadsideamerica.com it's my travel bible.

I find it easier to just buy lids rather than try to buy kids....the little rascals are just so expensive now.

funnel don't forget a good funnel and the Ball Book really is great...if you're going to buy jars and you are in NYC do NOT get them at Broadway Panhandle or any of the gourmet stores. You will pay through the nose and then some....get them on Amazon and buy some extra kids while you're at it.I agree with above, start with strawberries...

I recently got a crate of pickling cukecumbers ($32.00) that had 230 cukes in it, and spent a few hours making dill pickles, they came out great. 53 pints and 9 quarts. The tongs for the jars are a must.

I have to respectfully add to producestories' list - the jar grabber AND the magnetic wand that picks up the lids from the hot water are both pretty indispensable. I can't think of a tool that does the same thing without touching the gooey sealing strip under the lid.

I'm an avid eater however, I'm not a food blogger. I WILL add a food post to my blog if it will help me get in on this. I have the game and would love to play it with some real live people online.
