pappa al pomodoro! an italian bread soup that combines all of the best aspects of panzanella and mopping up extra sauce with a crust of bread!
I wish I may, I wish I might...
ditto on the jello. and uncooked bananas.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 82: Peanut Butter Portion Control
I too love peanut butter, and have been known to abuse it at times. I only keep the all-natural peanuts-only stuff in the house, and that seems to keep me from eating mass quantities. That way if I want to add sugar and salt and various other ingredients I have to watch myself do it.
That being said, I've been known to layer an everything bagel with a little butter, peanut butter, salt and brown sugar - delicious.

That's Nuts: Do Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Work Together?
Yes! I think they're a great combination. In fact, I've even taken to blending together homemade pumpkin butter and peanut butter into a hybrid peanut-pumpkin butter. Its hits my sweet-salty-seasonal-button, and is great on toast or cinnamon raisin bread.

Sweet Summer Corn and Edamame Salad with Walnut-Miso Dressing
Thanks, marsbar! I just added a couple of glugs but it will be helpful to have an exact measurement for next time.
I think using the right kind of miso is important in preventing saltiness - there are different kinds of white miso, and shiro miso is pretty mellow. Or maybe I just have a higher salt tolerance :)
I found the salad super-tasty, although all those edamame beans have been a little tough on the old stomach.
Sweet Summer Corn and Edamame Salad with Walnut-Miso Dressing
Rice vinegar is included in the instructions, but not in the ingredient list. What amount should we be adding?
'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
I often end making a meal out of snacks: Toast with peanut butter, popcorn, carrots and hummus, cheese and crackers, sliced baked tofu, fruit, goat cheese stuffed prosciutto wrapped dates (in mass quantities), egg salad on rye crackers, string cheese/babybels, yogurt with cereal, chocolate chips, pan-fried plantains, and of course...wine!
Not all at once, though.
Miso...Beyond soup
miso chop salad http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/chopped-miso-salad-recipe.html from 101 cookbooks!
and if the chop salad is too much work, the dressing is wonderful for almost any kind of salad...
Perfect picnic food
All of the above - and a generous thermos of hot toddies if the weather hasn't fully turned yet!

Occasionally, when I need to veganize risotto, I add a little white or yellow miso in place of the parmesan cheese I typically finish it with. Although not an exact replacement for parmesan, the miso adds a lot of depth and a slightly cheesy flavor to the dish.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters

Lay out your cookie tray for me, see if we need to trade recipes
i'm doing the bulk of my holiday baking this weekend. I'm making:
Monster Cookies (signature chocolate chunk/oatmeal cookie recipe)
Molasses Spice Cookies with a Dark Rum Glaze
Fleur De Sel Caramels
Biscotti di Prato
Chocolate Wasabi Cookies (an experimental recipe I'm going to work on today)
I wish I had more time, though, because Rum Balls are sounding better and better!
"Healthier" Christmas Cookies
In addition to a number of butter and sugar-laden cookies, I'm also making biscotti di'prato as a lighter alternative. I'm using this recipe:

They're lower in fat than traditional cookies, and exceedingly tasty.

dates stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in prosciutto.

I just saw a recipe for this when flipping through an ancient copy of Bon Apetit. Interesting but strange. I could see the combination working in baked goods?

I'm a simple kind of lady, so my favorite soup is homemade chicken noodle. I like to make it with escarole and egg noodles. It's just so delicious.

Currently I crave the Thai Suki after reading all this. I'm sad that I never see it in the states. My fav place in Thailand is MK restaurants. Super cold restaurant, super hot soup!
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
homemade soups, starting with meat bones and ending with seasonal vegetables....the best! takes hours to simmer on the stove...but the end results are used in so many meals...the simplest being laddled into a big bowl and with a crusty bread on the side.

When I went to stay with my aunt and uncle this past summer, my aunt's mom made potato bacon soup for dinner one night. It was delicious! :)

Wild rice soup. A thick, creamy base with vegetables and chicken added. Top with parmesan cheese and homemade croutons.

growing up, my mother made the best borsht. It was full of potatoes and meat and was so good and hearty.

My favorite meal worthy soup would be homemade bean soup with ham and bacon in it. I make it with a ham bone and let it simmer for about 3 hours. Very tasty and filling. I also like my mom's homemade vegetable soup with fresh veggies from the garden! Mmm good!

My mother made a hearty chicken noodle soup with lots of chicken and vegetables. garrettsambo@aol.com
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
My Momma liked to make big ol pots of soups and stews. All us kids and our kids would come over and eat. Sometimes she'd be creative and add different things. My Daddy would smell it and come in and ask what she was cooking. She would tell him she was making "stuff". It was funny. She was a great cook.

I love a good Colombian sancocho with lots of garlic and cumin!

Nothing beats a rich, hearty samgyetang (Korean chicken stew made with ginseng, medicinal herbs and a tender guinea hen stuffed with sticky rice and plump red jujubes).

My fav. meal worth soup is a big bowl of old fashioned home made chicken stew with veggies

I love Tuscan white bean soup.
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
I love to make a Korean soup made with fresh chicken cooked in water and spiced with plenty of grated fresh ginger. The chicken is shredded, and a cup or two of cooked rice is added to the broth and cooked until the soup has the consistency of "chowder." Serve in Oriental bowls and garnished with sliced green onions and Korean sesame salt. Delish, and very healing if you are suffering from respiratory "flu."

I'd have to say Split Pea and Lobster Bisque, my favorites! Thank you!
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
A nice, warm bowl of beef or chicken curry (Japanese-style) cooked with just the right amount of veggies. It's not quite soup but I purposely thin it out so that it has that soupy feel to it. Warms you up and sticks with you all day plus leaves your house smelling wonderful for days. :)
