Cook the Book: 'Simple Fresh Southern'
we don't really do a big sit-down thing, but instead invite friends to cook with us throughout the day. this year, I am most looking forward to making red curry duck ravioli with coconut-lime sauce. I've made this once before and it was the best filled pasta I've ever made.

hmm maybe some pumpkin cheesecake here too, since I don't like pumpkin pie and I have too many csa pumpkins.

I may give the pumpkin cheesecake a try as well! Too..many..csa..pumpkins
Dinner Tonight: Baked Shrimp and Feta Pasta
In my experience, baking makes most pastas better! The tube shape protects a gooey center of creamier sauces, but I just love the crispy crackly bits, especially the corners of the baking dish.
What Is Ice Cider?
I am even more excited to try the ice cider a visiting couchsurfer brought us from montréal!

hmm… I don't think we are having a turkey this year, but plenty of squashy things.

Somewhere to eat in St. Louis, semi-formal but hip
I would also like to second Trattoria Marcella. It is an outstanding bargain. The best true Italian (rather than Italian-American in “the hill”) in the city.
Somewhere to eat in St. Louis, semi-formal but hip
1111 is pretty good (their “blt” of brioche-lobster-thyme is great). I like Franco, in soulard. For locally sourced food (not all outstanding, but the best burgers for sure) you might hit up Riddles. The best ‘fine dining’ I have had in stl is Sidney Street Café. Niche gets lots of talk, and I like but don’t love for the most part.
Dinner Tonight: Pasta Carbonara with Ricotta
I have been taking advantage lately of historically low milk prices: in Chicago, a gallon of whole milk is just $2.28. I’ve gone through at least one a week, making lots of yogurt, ricotta, milk solids, and creamofwheat.
I only recently discovered how much fresh, homemade ricotta improves everything it touches. A half cup is probably what you would get from 3 cups of whole milk?

I remember looking through cookbooks, many of them, off the shelves when I was a kid. No one stands out.
Happy 250th Birthday, Dear Guinness
Like the fine drink itself, a blessing and a curse: if not for Guinness, William Gosset would have had no reason to be interested in small-sample estimation. If not for Guiness, “Student” would have been able to take proper credit.
Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Because it is delicious, and comes with the added bonus of offending superstitious people.
Serious Heat: Mustards to Spice Up Labor Day Cookouts
I have been saving two French mustards: a honey-mead stoneground one and a tarragon one. Both from Julhès in Paris.

How Do You Eat with a Beard?
Before this post I just thought beards were somewhat unattractive. Now I know they are truly disgusting.
Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'
So, I didn’t enter last week because I already have 660 Curries and recommend it to all my friends, usually over dinner of 3 or 4 dishes from it. Favorite? Maybe sorshe chana, yogurt-tart chick peas with mustard greens. Or what I made for lunches this week, gujarati-style yellow and black chick peas. Or brussery, plantains and sweet potatoes in coconut sauce.
I’ve been making a lot of Indian food lately.

Impossible to have just one, so the two would be cornbread dressing and Emmitt Smith's Sweet Potatoe Casserole.

My favorite "side" is the nut bread that my mother used to make for her entire married life. She found the recipe in a newspaper in 1948. It is chock-full of walnuts! Thanks!
