If the skins don't slip off easily, I use a spoon to scrape the skin off. Safer than a knife, especially if you oil your hands, which I don't...I kind of like the beet carnage :)

Yes, please provide permanent links to the other sites. I freaked out a little when I couldn't link to thekitchn from AT today! I will miss Ohdeedoh LOTS.

What I do love about this new format is that I can adjust the size of my browser window and cut out the ads on the right so I never have to see them.

I use my food processor to puree a bunch of ginger. I freeze in dollops and store in a bag. Great for quick ginger for stirfries etc. I used to freeze in one big chunk but it's really hard to break off pieces (gets pretty sharp edges) so I switched methods.

This is such a great thread.
- I love really cold milk, so I always put ice cubes in a glass of milk a few minutes before drinking.
- Favorite pancake topping: plain yogurt and (real) (cold) syrup.
- Comfort food: toast with jam and heaps of cottage cheese.
- Also: frozen blueberries with milk. The milk forms an icy slush around the blueberries, and it's really fun to eat.
- Husband: loves carbonated drinks, but he swirls them and lets them sit so the carbonation dissipates before drinking. Even with beer. Really gross.

Not quite the same, but I'm going to roast a chicken for a small thanksgiving of 3 people, and include some of the traditional sides.

rinse the peaches and use them in peach kuchen, one of my favorite childhood desserts!

I have started putting some frozen berries in a bowl or jar with some plain yogurt in the fridge overnight. By morning, the berries are perfectly thawed and are sweet enough for the plain yogurt without extra sugar. Sometimes I had a tiny bit of granola for crunch. Really delicious, plus you have a serving or two of fruit, antioxidants, calcium, protein, etc!

Sundried tomatoes in oil (with the oil) + green onion + garlic + fresh ginger + kale. Sautee til kale wilted. Add cubed tofu marinated in brown sugar + soy sauce + chile flakes. Serve w/ brown rice + roasted sunflower seeds.

My mom uses the bialetti muka express ever day and they turn out really good lattes (or cappuccinos?). The only thing I don't love about it is it's not the easiest to clean. Too hot to clean right away, but gets gross if you let it sit too long.

I am not a fan of mayo. Anyone have success using only yogurt (or combo of yog, buttermilk, other stuff)?
