Fresh Ricotta!
I'm lucky enough to have fresh, whole-milk ricotta sitting in my refrigerator. I used some last night for a pasta, but I'd like to make something with the remaining 8 ounces. Any creative ideas would be greatly appreciated!

$300 budget for dinner for 3! What should I make??
truffles sounds like a great idea. maybe morels, too, if you can find some (the season is upon us, after all!)

indian food. towering multi-layer cakes, delicate tarts.
Droste Effect Makes Me Like Butter More
Wow. Ever since I was a kid, I have been obsessed with the Droste box for exactly that reason. Somehow I never noticed that the Land O' Lakes lady had a box of butter...
What do I do with mustard greens!?
i have some mustard greens sitting around as well. my two current plans of action are to saute them in garlic, perhaps a few indian spices, and then toss them with some cooked chickpeas i have in my fridge. plan b is to put them into a spicy lentil soup for some extra bulk. hope you've made good use of yours!
Dinner Tonight: Tube-Shaped Pasta with Wild Mushrooms
I must agree about the Saveur recipes. I made a long and involved caponata recipe last weekend, and it was fantastic. Now I'm just trying to get through all the leftovers...
Dinner Tonight: Pesto Trapanese
I really like the spicy Pesto Pantesco Mario Batali wrote about some time ago on this site. The recipe is here.
A conundrum with dates
When I was in Morocco, a good high-energy snack was large, unsalted peanuts stuffed into unbelievably soft and fresh dates. So tasty (and portable!)
I think I've already posted this recipe for fruitcake, but it's great, so I'll do it again.
Additionally, I've been wanting to try this cinnamon-date chicken recipe but haven't gotten around to it yet. If you do, let me know how it turns out!
Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
oh dear, this is nearly impossible. Probably an impeccable fruit tart with an impossibly buttery crust. That, or very rich cheesecake.
NYC Lower East Side recommendations, please!
another east village idea: caracas (7th st between 1st and a). it's very small, though, so maybe it wouldn't work out. i'm also partial to frankie's spuntino. i've only been to the one in brooklyn, but they have an outpost at 17 clinton street. kuma inn on ludlow is also great, but they don't have many veggie options.

salmon with a pecan-honey mustard topping... looks gorgeous, easy to make and people are usually surprised by it!
