wings. we're eating out. i've been cooking elaborate meals all week, i need a Taco Mac fix.

any good stuffing recipe can be adapted if you omit the dairy and meat products. you could use tempeh instead of sausage, for example.

years ago i made a couple of things for a vegan friend who was coming to thanksgiving. i stuffed acorn squash halves with a tempeh and miso mixture and baked, and even though i am no vegetarian, it turned out really well. i wish i coudl find that recipe again though.. there are several baked and stuffed squash recipes that you could use as the "main" dish. try looking at sites like post punk kitchen (www.theppk.com), and this chick has amazing flavorful recipes as well (http://101cookbooks.com/).

while we're on the subject of mispronouncing stuff, i'm going to use this forum to announce how much it irritates me when everyone pronounces Brett Favre's name the wrong way. totally off topic, i know :)

it's Fah-Vrah. not Far-Vah.

"when he's the one NOT cooking" is what i meant to write. bah. multitasking not working for me today.

i'm printing out the doodles to tack up on my fridge. hysterical!

the silver palate stuffing.

the silver palate stuffing.

the silver palate's stuffing, cos it is very similar to my dad's.

this isnt so much a favorite lamb recipe as it's a favorite lamb memory, years ago when the boy and i deboned a leg of lamb, the first time either of us had done such a thing. we followed the procedure in the La Varenne cookbook, but apparently ended up doing it backwards. marinated in yogurt and herbs, and grilled it. backwards or not, it was delicious.

about friggin time atlanta got put on the food map.

i worked at a bagel shop in the late 80s- early 90s in gainesville FL, and we had time to toast the bagels, even as there would always be a line out the door first thing in the morning until late morning. i'd pop the bagel in the toaster and go on to help the next customer in line, sometimes helping three at a time. it's called MULTITASKING. it didn't take up too much more time to do all that. it's weird to me that people charge for toasting. a bagel toasting is being cooked to order as well as that well-done burger. what's the difference?

i've really no idea what we're having for dinner tonight. i made a vat of tomato basil soup last night, so dinner might be some of that and a salad. i might roast some turkey breasts that i already have in the fridge with a whole bunch of herbs and slice that up to put on the salad. we shall see what inspiration comes to me after i get home and have a glass of wine.

we had roast chicken, roast butternut squash with garlic and sage, and brown rice. oh, and a couple of glasses of red wine.
