The perfect roundness of one Lindt-in-the-blue-foil, with its gentle collapse of shell, then the flowing of the rich dark sweetness, after a very salty, very smoky burger at one of those Yee-Haw seared-steak places. I came home seeking out the ice machine for a tall frosty glass of water, then some CHOCOLATE.

An Aunt Ruby's German Green heirloom tomato, peeled and cut up, with a smidge of minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped fresh basil, sea salt and pepper. It was so good I immediately gave another one the same treatment. I'm eating it now...

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Last night it was tandoori grilled lamb chops and sweet pepper and onion bruschetta at Devi in the Flatiron District. Yum!

Moxie another Maine thing!

Every time I visit my mother in New Hampshire, I bring 24 cans of Moxie back with me in my carry-on, and do my best to ration them (I can get it at Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, but not every time). Every time, I get weird looks from security, but they ask what's in the bag, I say "24 cans of Moxie and a pound of pastrami," they pause and nod and wave me through.

My delicious thing today was licking the spoon from the pot of cajeta I made this morning.

Forgive me, what is moxie?  I have no clue!

Oh, it's a soda -- sort of vaguely root beer or cola-like, or at least in that "brown soda" family. The most noticeable ingredient is the gentian root extract -- also used in bitters, and a shake of Peychaud's in Coca-Cola is my Moxie surrogate of choice -- which gives it a kind of medicinal taste, especially for people who aren't used to it.

It was popular back in the day, but soda fountains supposedly put a nail in its coffin from a national market standpoint: the company wouldn't make the syrup available because mixing it wrong would overplay the bitterness, and when fountains became a big part of the market, Moxie just couldn't compete with Coke, Dr Pepper, etc.

(I suspect it never would have been as popular as the others anyway, judging from how sweet other sodas tend to be.)

I've been experimenting with different chicken satays and peanut sauces... would you share your version?

Thanks!

The very last piece of pumpkin pie! :sad:

It was made with the last of the organic gingerroot that a Swiss farmer grows locally and brings to the farmers market.

The pumpkin was baked and pureed on the morning of Thanksgiving.

Otherwise, the recipe was barely altered from the family's traditional one, down to evaporated milk from a can.

One piece of advice picked up from NPR this year: take the pie out of the oven when it is just about but not yet fully solid.

That evening after the pie had been left out to cool, the filling seemed a tad too soft. However, after refrigeration, the texture was utterly sublime. The best I have ever made, and honey, this is my favorite pie in the world and I am the queen of the pumpkins :wink: !

Bumping up one of my favorite threads.

Today, tahu (tofu), hot and fresh out of the wok. 

Yetty, your picture is gorgeous!! Is the tahu simply deep-fried naked as in Red-Cooked Tofu or is this battered?

Ramen with steel cut oats and peas in a broth made from chicken thighs and garlic. Lots of garlic. Yes. Ramen. Me. I swear. Kiddle is home sick and had a craving.
