Lobster for New Years Eve

This is a great site to save for just about everything, Thank you. I found a few other things as well. Wonderful resource,
My lobster turned out great. Took longer than I had expected so we ate in courses but that was fine. I baked it in tin foil. I cut it down the middle packed it with butter then sealed it up to steam it. Wonderful.

French Onion Soup?

I have to say when I was camping with my sister and brother inlaw in a pinch we had onion soup in tin foil and it was awesome. We took large vidalia onions cut out a core on the top, added a beef boulion cube and parmesan cheese and topped the hole with butter. covered them each with tin foil and baked them for 1 1/2 hours at 350 or until done and they were darn tasty... I was impressed.

8 Cities and the Dishes They're NOT Known For (But Should Be)

If your ever in the U.P. upper peninsula of Michigan the Rice Paddy on Presque Isl has the best Thai food to be found. Aoy is from a small town south of Bangkok and she calls everyone girlfriend or boyfriend that comes in. Wonderful small resteraunt you have to try.

best Lobster roll in Mass.

Thanks for the comments. I dont know that there was any claw or nuckle meat but it was amazing flavor. I do have to say it was anything but disappointing so perhaps it did include that. I will keep in mind the pizzerias for my next adventure as well as the Lobster Hut. I have to say the B and G had 13 different types of oysters at the their oyster bar. It was great, from Cape Breton island to Duxbury to Mayflower point and other selections from Dabob Bay in WA and the list goes on.

Calling out to all of you tart lovers

Thanks to both of you. I was thinking a typical pie crust would that work? I really enjoyed the filling more when the crust is less sweet..They melt in your mouth.. but these give me a few options. I thought I would make a day of it make a a couple batches to have them over the holidays I would think they freeze well.

a reliable sweet dough for tarts

I was at a Finnish ma and pa resteraunt in Hancock MI (the U.P) yesterday and I had a prune filled tart that was made by placing each corner of the crust over each other like a pin wheel. They were wonderful, the crust was not your sweet pastry crust. I am looking for that not so sweet crust.

Suggest easy-to-prepare menus for a week or two post surgery?

Madelyne I want to thank you for your wonderful dish ideas. I made your spinach fettuchini and it was wonderful I am anxious to try more of your recipes..
A quick one to make ahead is called No Peek Beef. You take two pounds of stew meat cubed. 1 envelope onion soup mix, 1 can cream mushroom soup, 1/2 cup skim milk and whole wheat egg noodles.
combine meat soups and milk pour into sprayed casserole dish or roasting pan. cover and bake 300 degree oven for 3 hours. Dont peek till its done. Serve over cooked egg noodles. It freezes well then you just have to cook your noodles can add sour cream to serve Hope you try it. And good luck with your surgery.
