Dinner Tonight: Ramps with Linguine

I've never seen a ramp in Washington State. I think they're just an east coast phenomenon. : (

Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

Usually a homemade Thai or Indian Curry, with rice and bread.
Thai garden rolls are always a hit too.

I always grow a few tomato plants in containers and a few herbs. Definately cilantro and basil

Clueless with Fennel

I love fennel roasted in the oven or sliced in salads. But for a more gentle fennel flavor for fennel beginners, try throwing some chopped fennel in with potatoes when you are boiling them for mash. Put it all through a food mill or ricer and make mashed potatoes as usual. For more fennel flavor, add a hit of pernod (really just a tiny bit) at the end.

I laughed, I cried, I was afraid of hamburgers.

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'

My favorite chicken dish growing up was a masterpiece of convenience cooking, "Chicken that makes it's own gravy".
Chicken pieces smothered in canned cream of mushroom soup and velveeta cheese, baked and served over egg noodles. I should deny ever even hearing of such a dish, but as a kid I loved it.

In Videos: Suicidal Cadbury Creme Egg Commercials

That was hillarious! Cadbury eggs are too sweet for me, but I think I'll eat one this year just because. The garbage can was my favorite.

Dinner Tonight: Ramps with Linguine

I made this this week and loved it. I toast my breadcrumbs in at least a tablespoon of olive oil and find that they add lots of flavor as well as texture. I did wish I had added some pasta cooking water for the final tossing--I set a bit aside but forgot to throw it in. Anyway, YUM, thanks for the recipe, and the clue about what to do with the famous ramps.
