Halloween Brunch 1258599828|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover stacita A little late, I know! But here are a few very important photos from Amanda's Halloween Brunch. It was a brilliant affair, complete with pumpkin waffles, hot apple cider, and old school horror movies. It was just the way I wanted to pass my Halloween! Here's the menu and some photos: Menu Pumpkin Waffles Fall Home Fries Baked Egg Souffle Fresh fruit Hot Apple Cider (Trader Joe's spiced apple cider brand) flavored with Ginger Schnapps Good coffee That may or may not be paper plates adorned with an image of Edward and Bella. read more and comment...

She's also a photographer, so it's really fun. I made her Red Lentil Soup, and it was delicious! My cooking notes are under my Web Favorites section in my Kitchen. Post if you end up making anything else from her site! read more and comment...

So I have determined to work our way through all of the varieties I've found at the market: turban, butternut, acorn, delicata, etc. So I am soliciting any and all winter squash recipes you love! Any of the hard squashes are great and any recipe no matter how basic. I've done a bunch with butternut and some with spaghetti squash but the rest are all new to me. The basic roasting I have down, but need ideas for flavoring and so forth. Methods! Flavors! Whatever! Please post em to your kitchens and link them here. Thanks very much! I will shortly weigh in with general favorites - my in-laws just left yesterday and we are all awash in missing them. And also doing laundry, etc, and catching up on the rest of life. read more and comment... Tags: 5 Comments My Ricotta Experiment 1257465091|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover AmandaCarr Ladies, So, Stacy knows that I purchased WAY too much milk last weekend for my halloween brunch. I have GALLONS in the fridge, and they're in danger of expiring in three days. So, tomorrow I'm going to make *gasp* fresh ricotta cheese. I will let you know what happens. But I'll take votes: if successful, do I make something sweet or savory? Suggestions? Now I have to get off this wiki. read more and comment... Tags: 9 Comments Our First Birthday! 1257426626|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover stacita It's Ladies Recipes's first birthday! 365 days ago, Stacy first published her recipe for Eggless Tom and Jerry, a deluxe alcoholic drink reminiscent of eggnog. Since then, we have written 109 recipes, 62 blog posts, and 189 comments. We have made about 680 edits to the wiki. And there's no way of telling how many calories we have consumed! In honor of our first birthday, would you submit the name of one or two recipes (other than your own) that have enriched your humble existence? These will then be considered our "all-star" recipes. If there are other honorable mentions, feel free to list them, too. read more and comment... Tags: 5 Comments Yellow Rice 1256859780|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover stacita Ok. Next time you are making rice, just splash in some turmeric. It tastes exactly the same but suddenly everyone thinks you're a genius. So easily fooled. read more and comment... Tags: 0 Comments A personal question about eggplant 1256245563|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover ClaireMere Ladies! When prepping eggplant for whatever, do you SALT it first? Always? Never? Just for certain things? What benefits or hazards does it produce? I know the science, but am curious about what you find it does to the flavor and/or consistency. I've never really done it (except for this moment when a new recipe I'm trying sternly forbade me to skip this step). Please weigh in! Thanks in advance for any who have time. read more and comment... Tags: 4 Comments Roasted red peppers 1255692735|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover Paula Jeanne I was at the Stop and Shop this week and a women and her man were buying a cart full of red peppers. Being the season for red peppers you can find them on sale for 99 cents a pound. She told me they roast them, jar them and cover them with olive oil. Great idea for sandwiches, omelettes, bruschetta or anything your heart desires. They are the only kind of peppers I grow. I had to bring them in early because of our crazy cold weather this month. They were green but soon turned red in the windowsill. They say that one red pepper contains the vitamins of three oranges. Bob hates when I say " They say" who is they ??? Stacy's grandfather, my Dad, fries a pan full of cut up green peppers in olive oil every week. He uses plenty of salt and pepper. He puts them in omelettes, to add moisture to sandwiches and topping for pizza. read more and comment... Tags: 0 Comments Buy the brandy 1255638888|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover ClaireMere It's finally chilly down here and we've had a week of rain. Autumn! And the baby and I have little colds. Boo! But while he has to make do with TLC and steam, Mama gets to have a Hot Toddy! I suspect most of you could use one, too - it's perfect on a cold afternoon or evening when you need to unwind and particularly when you have a sore throat. I made adult hot toddies earlier in the week after the baby went to bed and when my cold was coming on, but then decided to add a shot of brandy to the fresh apple cider we got. Wow! It was amazing. Brian took a day off today to let me sleep late and try to shake the cold, so this afternoon I thanked him with a mug of hot cider and brandy. Everyone is happy. So I say go get the bottle of brandy! You'll use it for toddies, holiday punch, stews, even some baking! And all winter you'll be glad you can have a little nip in your hot tea or water or cider. read more and comment...
