I watched Battlestar Galactica too, and also had Cylon nightmares. Has everyone seen this awesome BSG nail polish collection? The Cylon one is the best!

does anyone know if it possible to make these using goat milk? Or would that totally wreck the consistency & one would need to find goat cream? I've had french goats milk caramels that were amazing (not super soft, but normal toothsome caramel) and I want to try to replicate...

I love coconut macaroons and I'm interested in a recipe that uses unsweetened (vs sweetened) coconut. If anyone tries this recipe using unsweetened please report back - I'm really curious!

These look so delicious, especially if you were to use an artisan small batch jam with them. I've got my eye on some locally made Raspberry Ginger preserves, by Modern Gingham. Yum!! :)

I totally agree with Alicelost - making the "real thing" is an art. I think I've come across one of the tricks of the trade, which is making an emulsion of the tahini, lemon, and water BEFORE adding the beans... Are there any other tricks out there?

Nice, I haven't heard of at least half of these! the de-seeding pomegranate made me think of another one we discovered recently: how to juice a pomegranate in about 15 seconds. We posted a tutorial if anyone is interested: http://www.two-tarts.com/2011/12/how-to-juice-pomegranate.html

If you have enough ramekins or little mugs/bowls, you could do individual prosciutto & egg cups... These are super easy to throw together, although I'm not sure if easy individual portions vs. one gigantic buffet style portion would be better for your needs!

I prefer coffee in the mornings, so I keep tea around for when I'm feeling sick. Or cold in the winter. I usually keep Tension Tamer, something gingery for when I'm sick, Throat Soother for when I've got a cold, and Good Earth because it is sweet and cinnamony.

I think they mean raw, then you toast (and peel) the hazelnuts yourself?

You could mash them with eggs & breadcrumbs, form them into little pancakes, and serve them with something on top. Maybe mushrooms & gravy...? Or add additional herbs and cheese, then let the little veggie pancakes stand alone as a side dish to salad?

Hey cute! Love the tiny portable size! I just did a bigger version in a cast iron skillet. Basically a thin crispy crust of hash browns on the bottom, topped with eggs & cheese and then broiled till done. So easy & impressive.

My family is from Minnesota too! Nice to see a real homemade wild rice recipe (rather than one using a "cream of..." canned soup). :)

Two more ideas that I personally love & use a lot:
1) put salmon fillets in parchment, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and then top with some thick lemon zest peels & capers. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes
2) top salmon fillets with a mixture (equal parts) mustard, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Broil on a baking sheet for 5-10 minutes

Both easy, both delicious. Thanks for the new ideas, I'm stuck in a rut with these two :)

This article has some info on the health benefits of coconut oil: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/coconut-oil-health-benefits/#axzz1iyPyr1jD

I LOVE it... just made the best granola with it, I think it's key to the amazing flavor.
Here's my recipe in case anyone's looking to make something with coconut oil. http://www.two-tarts.com/2012/01/homemade-coconut-almond-granola.html

Sweet potato fries baked in coconut oil are delicious too!

I have cut back on animal products but wouldn't call myself vegan. I believe we're so (comparatively) wealthy these days that we can afford to eat MUCH more in the way of animal products that our ancestors were able to. The China Study is an amazing read if you are interested in learning more about the benefits of going vegan. I will say - my mom is vegan after reading it :)
