I definitely prefer the oven method -- you don't have to check it very often. I also use the cold plate test to know when it's done -- put a small plate in the freezer, when it's cold, dribble some of the apple butter on it. If water separates out from the apple butter, it's done: http://erinskitchen.blogspot.com/2006/10/cant-stop-canning-apple-butter.html Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Apples Galore!

I really like to freeze winter squash and sweet potatoes that I've cubed and roasted myself -- just put it into small ziplocs and you have an easy way to eat well on weeknights -- make some couscous, maybe some beans, you're good to go.

Planning my first apple crisp of the season, and perhaps some lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes? I've got a bunch of ricotta to use up. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Open Thread 172 |

Steak! On our new (tiny) charcoal grill, illegally (I think) parked on our fire escape in Manhattan outside our bedroom window. The husband and I were slightly concerned that the flames might cause the neighbors to call the fire department, but no sirens yet--and frankly, it'd almost be worth it--how I've missed grilling this summer!! We'll try to squeeze in a few more grilling adventures before summer really, truly ends--pork chops are next. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Open Thread 170 |

This summer I've been eating the same thing every day--two whole grain frozen waffles (lifestream makes good ones), plain non-fat yogurt, a bit of jam, some berries and some sliced almonds. It's fast and filling. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Monday Breakfast: How Do You Start Off Your Week? |

My favorite Campari cocktail is what I've dubbed "The Rainwater"--named after my boss who introduced me to it. It's Campari, prosecco, grapefruit juice and a bit of lime.

I live at 96th/Broadway and have been shopping at the 75th street location since moving to NY last August, and it drives me nuts! It is waaaaay too crowded, and I think part of it is the Fairway management's fault--there is no system for line control and the constant stocking of shelves makes navigating certain aisles impossible. The Harlem location is much better, but it's not convenient for after-work stops. I also think the produce at the 75th street location leaves something to be desired. I've been hitting the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle instead--it can be crowded too, but at least there's a functioning check-out line-up system and the staff is much friendlier. Also, for good, local produce I hit Barzini's at 90th--they've had local rhubarb and asparagus in the past few weeks. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Is Fairway the Best Grocery Store in Manhattan? |

leftover apple, fennel and celery salad, with a few slices of salami and cheese as a supplement. I like to pack lots of snacks for the day (I'm in grad school and often on campus from 9-7 and am trying to save $$!)--grapes, almonds, raw bell pepper strips, etc. Apartment Therapy - Brown Bag Meals: What Did You Pack For Lunch? |

I always "splurge" on meat--as in I'll spend good money for the good stuff--not that I'm always buying the most expensive cuts. Apartment Therapy - When Will You Splurge For Expensive Ingredients? |

Hmmm...rinse them off? Only if you dry them very, very well, right? Because I would assume any excess moisture on the leaves, etc would ensure that they went bad more quickly? How To Store Fresh Herbs |

I second v in boston's strawberries in salad recommendation. I really like the peppery strawberry salad in particular. Strange Strawberry Recipes |

minipanda--Soon I'll be moving from LA to NYC and while overall I'm very excited, I'm going to miss California farmers' markets and produce horribly. I know NY has the greenmarkets, but it just won't be the same. Open Thread #97 |

I agree on Super Natural Cooking, and would also recommend the Sunday Suppers at Lucques Cookbook--there's obviously a lot of meat in there as well, but Goin has some amazing side dishes of veggies. Good Question: Good Vegetable-Focused Cookbooks? |

I recently made this Strawberry Black Pepper salad--usually I just gobble my strawberries right out of the basket or chop and put them over ice cream, so this was a 1st course treat. I think any mild or sweet greens will do--I used spinach. Virtual CSA Box: Salad Greens |

Thanks for the reminder of this paste/marinade. I like to use it on grilled sea bass kabobs (from the Sunday Suppers at Lucques cookbook). Word of Mouth: Chermoula |

I just made some individual strawberry-rhubarb crumbles last week--so easy I could even make them on a work night! Last year, I made some fabulous <A href="http://erinskitchen.blogspot.com/2006/10/rhubarb-schnapps.html">rhubarb schnapps. Also, I like to stew it with a bit of mint and sugar and serve over vanilla ice cream. Virtual CSA Box: Rhubarb |
