Turkey Leftovers

Posted by ceforrester, November 20, 2007 at 6:09 PM

I am so pleased to have won a 17 pound turkey from seriouseats! This is going to be quite an adventure for me since the biggest bird I've ever roasted was about 12 pounds. We already have a turkey for the big day (heritage turkey - first time ever trying that) so I'm thinking I'll roast my seriouseats turkey on Friday and then make some mini turkey pot pies and maybe a soup out of the meat. I'll save the heritage turkey leftovers for some turkey sandwiches. What do you do with your turkey leftovers? Have any suggestions for my extra bird??

Thanksgiving Soups

Posted by ceforrester, November 14, 2007 at 9:23 AM

This Thanksgiving I'm in charge of the soup course, but I am feeling sooo uninspired. The only recipe that has caught my eye is one on epicurious for Creamy Fennel & Potato soup. Anyone care to share their Thanksgiving soup recipes?

Christmas List: Cookbooks/Food Lit

Posted by ceforrester, November 6, 2007 at 11:05 AM

I'm putting together my Christmas wish list on Amazon to share with my family. Besides a food cooking tools (new muffin pans, a 9" springform cake pan) I'm planning on adding a lot of cookbooks and food literature. On the list so far -

The Tenth Muse - Judith Jones
The Amateur Gourmet - Adam Roberts
Art of Simple Food - Alice Waters
The Lee Bros Southern Cookbook - Lee Brothers
Jamie's Dinners - Jamie Oliver

This list will keep growing but I'm curious what would be on your list.

CSAs in NYC

Posted by ceforrester, November 2, 2007 at 12:18 PM

I'd love to join a CSA and get a winter share. Anyone know of any that still have open registration in Manhattan - preferably east side? (live in Murray Hill). I've been googling but can't find any that are still open...Thx!

Cooking Mags

Posted by ceforrester, September 28, 2007 at 11:57 AM

I'm thinking about subscribing to a second food magazine but don't know which one to get. Right now I have Gourmet (which I love). I guess I should put it right out there - I don't like Cook's Illustrated. Ok! Ok! Hate on me! I know it's great but I can't deal with the no pictures thing. What magazines do you subscribe to and why do you like them?

And if anyone mentions "Everyday Cooking with Ray-Ray", seriouseats & I are no longer friends.

Philadelphia Restaurant for a 50th birthday Celebration

Amada is my all-time favorite Philly restaurant and I try to go whenever I'm there. It's not pricey at all. It's tapas and oh so good!

an ex-boyfriend essentially taught me the basics and i would consider him my mentor, because he gave me confidence in the kitchen.

Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'

Actually, I am not a cook! My mother made wonderful meals, but I have never had much interest in cooking. My husband enjoys cooking and He would enjoy Anna's cookbook that is filled with elegant, no-fuss meals! My mother-in-law can put together a great meal in minutes using what is on hand. She is definitely my husband's mentor. Please enter us in your cookbook drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

canning supplies available in NYC?

While Ball no longer sells canning supplies, www.freshpreserving.com does distribute Ball jars from the company's new owner. I've been using them all summer and they are exactly the same product, though the website does offer some jars in other shapes as well.

Dinner in the Lower East Side, NYC?

@simon, but isn't that a regional thing? Like the difference between waiting in line or waiting on line (where I grew up I always heard waiting in line but I moved to NYC where I hear waiting on line all the time)?

Not to be a jerk, but it's "dinner on the lower east side", not "in."
