Raspberry Cocoa Jam

Looks lovely - I'll try with frozen raspberries and Felchlin cocoa and report back!

Bread Baking: Savory Monkey Bread

I love this recipe with herbs and butter! The King Arthur French Garlic Asiago Bubble Bread is good: garlic and cheese - but KA uses oil - and I like the buttah betta! I did melt the butter/herb mixture, because my kitchen was too cool.

How do you brew your coffee?

Technivorm and an Aeropress. I roast my own beans, have a capresso grinder, and love love love the Aeropress. It makes great strong brew for Vietnamese coffee, better than many (but not all!) espresso's I've bought in the city. With some milk heated and frothed with a $2 IKEA frother - pure caffeine heaven!

Greek Yogurt - Recommendations?

I'm sold on the Cabot for taste and price (although I got some super expensive stuff at a big Armenian grocery store that was pure heaven, although not realistic for day to day).
I used some Cabot as a starter with good results. My beaer-brewing son turned me on to a good trick for straining, a wort (?) draining bag from a brewery supply store, cost ~$4. Easier to use and especially to clean than cheesecloth, and less expensive than a very fine strainer. It's a 14x20 bag of very fine plastic/nylon stuff - like a woven fabric. Some bags have too big a mesh, so your yogurt heads down the sink (yipes!) but the fabric types are great.

Good eats from Costco?

Just a couple words of caution: Not everything is at Costco everytime you go - so don't dawdle when you see a great pack of antibiotic free sausage or instant yeast or something! And check prices: for a short period, 25 lbs. of King Arthur flour (love it) was cheaper at the local supermarket. We joined for the flour and sugar - and good cheap cat litter!
I found a wonderful bacon, just like the high-end butcher shops - but they haven't carried it again in over two years. I tried Kirkland - but find most Kirkland products way too sweet - the yougurt is achingly sweet. Even after rinsing and drying the Kirkland bacon, the primary taste was corn syrup.And here in northeastern MA, the meat quality and prices are not so great - I really envy the places with good tri-tip!

Dinner Tonight: Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad

Oh dear - I am a total, total jerk! The critical line I missed was the "adapted from" Deepest apologies, with much shame on my part - it is a good recipe!

Dinner Tonight: Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad

I went to save this recipe, then found that I already had one with the same title. It looks like this recipe is exactly the one printed in Gourmet's Quick Kitchen, 2005 - just a few changes to the instructions. I'd bookmarked the Paupered Chef (great title) and wanted to like this guy, but...... would a 'based on' (really, really based on) credit line have hurt?

Poutine: Curdy Canadian Comfort

We live in northeastern Massachusetts, but we drive to Portland Maine to have the poutine at Duckfat. The gravy isn't very vinegary, but the cheese curds are fresh and local, the fries spectacular.

I even named my swirly-colored Maine Coon cat Poutine!
