Tomorrow it's bread, pizza dough (for the freezer), carrot cake, and ricotta gnocchi. I'm thinking of a butternut squash galette for Sunday--maybe with bacon, sage, and parmesan.
I love having company in the kitchen! Especially at Thanksgiving, so I don't feel I'm missing out on conversation, etc. If my kitchen were smaller, though, I would rely on my partner to keep everyo...
@ indigoartisanry, if you're horrified, contact the company and express that. Start a petition, tell everyone you know about it and encourage them to do the same.

Definitely remove the cleaning supplies and put them away from your food--also, consider how many different ones you really need. All I have for cleaning is an all-purpose spray (Biokleen), baking ...
@ art, that sounds just delicious. Decadent, too.
I have a vague plan for a pork roast with quinces, but I'm not sure how I'm going to put it all together. Tonight I think we're doing ...
The epicurious link is the wrong one! I made a lasagna last week with roasted butternut squash, spicy sausage in tomato sauce, and a layer of cooked spinach mixed with ricotta. I loved it.
I plan on tiling my gross brown countertops as soon as I can get the tools, etc. from my mother. Seconds can be bought for a good price, and if my mother can tile her bathroom, anyone can do it!
I just cannot eat radicchio, no matter how it's prepared. I thought I liked bitter until I tasted it. I've tried it raw, sauteed, braised in a sweet and sour sauce--just can't eat it. My heart sink...
I sweep every day! Two times a day if I am home all day. I love wearing socks and can't stand the thought of getting cat hair, food, dirt, etc. on them and then cuddling up on my couch and getting ...
What about fruit leather? Trader Joe's has a bunch of different kinds, and while not as cheap as your typical Halloween handout, they're not too expensive. And they're individually wrapped so cauti...
All the polenta talk this week worked on me--I'm planning a chicken and mushroom stew to be eaten on top of a soft mound of polenta. I'm also getting a red kuri squash in my CSA box so I think I'll...
Deborah Madison uses a double boiler method, which I've never tried, but she says there's no need to stir it either. The only downside is that it takes an hour or more to cook.
And the...
I've gotten away with a chickpea salad with shredded vegetables, olives, and a little feta, with a little vinegar and olive oil. Most sandwiches are inoffensive and noise-free. Honestly there are s...
Quince and lamb stew is one of the best fall dinners I can think of.
I'm going to try to make quince butter this year--maybe mixed with a few apples...
Blend some really good ricotta with really good cocoa powder (like Dagoba) and a bit of honey. Top with chopped walnuts or hazelnuts. It's kind-of like chocolate pudding but easier and more healthy...
Cheese, mostly cheddar, feta, and always parmesan!

various flours--chickpea, buckwheat, whole wheat pastry, etc.

Excellent post, Nora. Thanks for the information.
If you're lucky enough to still have good eggplants in season, this lentil dish is amazing: http://s...
Lisa, this article is helpful, and I wish I would have read it before buying my vintage oven! I ended up selling mine because it was just too small.
The bread salad from Zuni Cafe! It's almost better than the roast chicken. And of course panzanella.
