Aww, very cute, love the boo-nana pops!

Naturally, I'm partial to the friggin' sweet things I've posted this year for Halloween:

Jolanda, if you've never tried fermenting foods before, this may sound out there, but it's easy as pie: stir in a Tablespoon or two of whey per jar (whey, as in, the stuff you drain from yogurt). Add a little less vinegar than usual, as the whey will sour it a bit on its own. There's an instructional for rendering whey and a bunch of fermented recipe links (sauerkraut, sour pickles, etc.) in this post:

You'll just stir the whey and a little salt into the finished chili sauce, let it sit at room temperature for a day or two, and then move the jars into the fridge. Your chili sauce is now probiotic and WHAT WHAT will last you for at least a year. In the fridge. No joke.

I would never joke about chili sauce.

Hello, peeps, the pan is ONE LARGE BAR. By cruelly hacking it into pieces, you are allowing the life-giving properties of Lemon Bar to escape into the atmosphere. I can't let you take that risk, Kerri. If you must share Lemon Bar, put a friend on the opposite side and chow down Lady & The Tramp style, taking care to snarf quickly to prevent said escapage from occurring.

What?

Love, love, love articles like these. People need to know how much growing is possible in the city. I give urban homesteading and small-space growing tips like these on my blog (below), but one thing I'll add right now is this: make friends with your neighbors (and landlords!) If you're generous with the produce, they may occasionally let you use their space, too, and they'll be a little more understanding when some vines and things get out of control.

Sorry! Just got the difference between the red and yellow potatoes!

I don't see where it says to add the stock. I only see adding water. Is it water and stock, or one or the other?

Butter and red wine. Melt a few tablespoons in the pan before you start. When the sauce gets dry, toss in some red wine and stir it up. Repeat a few times. The wine adds a depth of flavor that you're probably lacking. If you're game and wanna mix things up, use bacon grease instead of butter.

I second the made-ahead egg bake idea, but I like to pop it into greased muffin tins so they're easy to freeze and reheat later.

If you'd like to go the raw greens route, I recommend Heidi Swanson's Tuscan Kale Salad recipe (but I prefer it sans bread cubes). Here's the link:

It's an amazingly delicious way to eat raw kale, and it holds up so well (doesn't get all sad and wilty like lettuce after sitting in the fridge in its dressing). You could make a big batch ahead of time, put a scoop on your plate in the morning, and top it with a poached or fried egg, yolk still runny. Mmm....

Oh, wah wah WAAAH, are you naysayers even SERIOUS?! This pan, this freaking pan, this is what is wrong with America? I wouldn't buy it either, but I'm not about to make it a political statement.

You don't state why there has to be something wrong with America, you don't adequately back up your WHOAH BLANKET STATEMENT, and you don't explain the link between the two.

Spend a little less time making it a priority to bitch about cornucopia pans and a little more time voting and attending local town hall meetings, and maybe there won't be so much wrong with America.
