Oh, I wish there was something similar to this in Chicago!
Dinner Tonight: Curried Cauliflower with Chickpeas and Tomatoes
How much ghee would you use? I assume it is still not 1/4 cup. I already have it on hand and wouldn't want to make it.

My Dad was a high school teacher and he left a Twinkie out of the wrapper for an entire school year and it never molded....

I like mine oriental flavor with a poached egg (yolk not quite cooked), then covered with one slice of american cheese, seasame seeds and some soy sauce. YUM! Comfort food....

Dinner Tonight: Pez De Tierra (Eggplant Fries)
I am so making this dish this week. I have a beautiful eggplant that will work great for this.
What kind of dipping sauce would be good? Or is it not necessary?

I have a vegetable collection that is older. They used to have these things called jars and you could put things in them and it would make them last for a long time. If only we could recreate this somehow without the jars. That would be amazing.
Dinner Tonight: Beet, Avocado, and Goat Cheese Salad
Trader Joes carries cooked beets in a vacuum bag. Use them all the time, will make this salad this weekend.
Dinner Tonight: Beet, Avocado, and Goat Cheese Salad
My husband and I had the salad last night for dinner. The avaocado wasn't ripe yet so we left it out and neither of us are fans of arugula so we substituted mixed greens. It was wonderful. We'll definately have it again.
(anderkr1) I would absolutely suggest using fresh beets, we baked then a little longer 45 minutes instead of the suggested 15 minutes.
Getting the stain off my hands was pretty easy too. Cooks Illustrated suggested spinkling hands and rubbing hands with salt, the crystals helped the absorption of the red dye.

My frig says CHECK THE DATES ON THESE THINGS! It also says this woman will buy anything new or improved!
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My fridges (I have 3 & 3 teens) say that I have OCD (they are immaculate) , shop sales with coupons and am always ready for a party. No leftovers, when there are any they are immediately vacuum sealed and frozen. One fridge is dedicated to cans of every soda and several brands of beer. Each freezer is dedicate to one thing, veggie and frozen diet meals, one is leftovers and ready homemade meals the other vacuum sealed meats, and misc. Scary how a fridge can speak for who I am.
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My fridge says that I'm a single, health-conscious woman: lots of yogurt, produce and Diet Pepsi.
The freezer says I keep buying backup meals (ie, Lean Cuisine, frozen dumplings, edamame) that I never use.
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My fridge is upset with me because I am not exciting enough to have a rattlesnake curled up, as if sleeping!, in my freezer.
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
I have a "vintage" can of Billy Beer (named for Pres. Carter's brother Billy) from the 1970's. It comes with us whenever we move. Someday, someone's going to open it by mistake!
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
I'm on the OCD list too:
I like to keep things where I believe they should go.
When my OH grocery shops and puts it away I end up taking it ALL OUT and putting it back the way I like. haha so sad but it makes me happy :)
Mine's usually full of produce too, lots of pickles, condiments. My fridge NEVER has sodas, or preserved sandwich meats like a lot of the pictures show...eeew. Not my cup of tea. Rather juices and nectars.
My freezer is jammed with all of my veggie trimmings, I save them for stock! If you haven't already heard my tip. And my fathers hunted game.
Interesting topic Lizy Yagoda, thanks for posting it!
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My fridge says I shop like a European, 2 or 3 times a week: There isn't much in it. My freezer says I'm frugal. It's full of things waiting to become stock, chicken fat waiting to be rendered, parmesan rinds, etc.
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
I had my coworkers over for dinner the other day. Many opened my fridge to chill the beverages they brought and when they saw the interior were shocked at how it didn't look like their refrigerators. Mine is chock full of local organic produce. One guy opened the door and said "WHOA, all natural!!"

Here's what it was saying back in March:

What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My fridge says I have two small school aged children (individual packs of Dole mandarin oranges, kids' yogurts which come in colors not found in nature, snack-packs of Jell-O puddings, juice boxes, grapes, baby carrots).
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
Mine says that I need to eat all my various leftovers before I make anything else....but where's the fun in that?
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
Mine says my husband and I need to eat some leftovers. We have entirely too many tupperware-ish containers shoved up in there. Once we shoved so forcefully that we unknowingly detached the plastic lightbulb shield and it lay against the lightbulb long enough to singe. Whoops.
This story and these comments reminds me of the pantry ghost thread from a few months ago. Good times. :)
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
@wrain. I'm sure that in general, grapes can go on the top shelf, but when they've been recently washed and in a holey bag, the water drips down over everything.
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My fridge is desperately screaming CLEAN ME! Long overdue - and on the list for this weekend. Other than that, I have a door full of condiments and a bunch of food not overly well organized, but I know exactly what is in there - can't remember my bank balance, but I have my fridge and cupboard contents memorized!
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My Mom keeps the fridge clean always so the only thing I get in fridge is nothing. It just has the daily items like jam, butter, cheese etc.
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
My fridge looks like I live entirely on condiments and frosting (I bake a lot, so I always have 3-5 containers of various surplus frostings waiting to be used), with a little OJ and soymilk.
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
all of that styrofoam! not good for the landfills.....
i'm a great "shover" myself, i shove stuff in and then close the door quickly to secure the item. my freezer especially. it all gets used eventually, bundles of leftover herbs, a chunk of a proscuitto end for a stew), bags of necks, gizzards, hearts and livers for the dogs... a stray pork chop here and there, a container of leftover sauce ..... a few loaves of bread, bialy's from kossars.... yep, it's all in there waiting to be discovered.
12-Year Old McDonald's Hamburger, Still Looking Good
This is quite amusing because I did the same exact thing but with a McDonald's fry. I have had it in my car's ashtray for almost a year. It has not rotted one bit. It still has it's color. Kind of scary if you think about it.
12-Year Old McDonald's Hamburger, Still Looking Good
There is not one item that you can purchase at McDonald’s that is good for you. Even their “fresh fruits and vegetables” are so overly treated with preservatives and pesticides, your body has to work twice as hard to eliminate those toxins than it could ever benefit from any vitamins or minerals still contained in the dilapidated whole food. Shall we talk about where they buy their meats and poultry from? Antibiotics, steroids… the list goes on. A McDonald’s body will turn into a diseased body.
