My neighbor brought over some eggplant from his garden and I didn't feel like making Eggplant Parmesan, so I tried the Pioneer Woman's Pasta with Eggplant - tasty and easy!

Yup! Yum!

Just bumping the most interesting topic on this OT forum back to prominence.

I bought the Anguilla beach cookbook mainly because Becky liked it. I try to avoid buying cookbooks. But now I'm going to buy this one for my sister for Christmas.

I can say that I've made their curry sauce to the point of seriously OD'ing on it, and I'd better stop, or I'll be sick of it and never want it again.. (I do use chili paste instead of curry paste, and think it makes a difference)

Also just made their all-year-long tomato, spinach, asiago soup.... my husband normally likes some kind of meat in his soup and he could not get enough of it...

fyi

jmq, I LOVE the cake wrecks blog! Always good for a laugh.

Janet, I love le creuset. You are going to start collecting it now. My color is flame.

Monday's dinner: roast chicken with pancetta, balsamic, garlic, sage, and basil under the skin, and potatoes braised in wine:

Just a note on the Blanchard's cookbooks.

I bought both of them... "At Blanchard's Table" and "Cook What You Love". I'm finding I like more of the recipes in "Cook What You Love". If you have (or get) that book, be sure to try the Reggae Pork and the Orange Pork Tenderloin. Making these recipes is the first time I've ever tried to make pork tenderloin and both recipes are great! The sauce on the Orange Pork is to die for. You could probably use it on a lot of other things as well.

Sweet Christine is working on a goat curry recipe for this weekend. We need to warm up our newbies for their first trip to STJ. I'm thinking pressure cooker?

Cheers, RickG

speaking of cider .. and someone was in another thread... I made an apple cider viniagrette the other day. it seemed odd to me at first but was really very good on a salad with dried cherries and a nice brie. yum!
