That sounds soooo easy. I have a fondue pot, but I am always a bit wary of breaking it out, as it seems complicated.

The author sounds quite amusing as well as foodie knowledgable.

Borlotti Beans in Tomato Sauce with Creamy Polenta sounds hardy and great for the cold winter evenings.

I love that you can freeze them. That would be handy for parties.

I love the easy to follow step by step instructions. I think I could do this. And... I love SourDough.

The praline topping sounds wonderful. It sounds easy.

I will guess 1897 as that was apparantly a year with a great yield of corn. Yes, it is getting more and more expensive for dietary corn, as much of the corn is bieing produced for biofuels.

I remember my Mom always made us Hot Chocolate on Christmas Eve when we were getting excited about Santa coming that night.

My husband talks about the salmon cakes his mom used to fix... he hated them. Now these... he says he’ll like. Thanks for the chance to get some new salmon recipes.

Wow, this sounds good, but maybe a bit rich.

This sounds great, but I agree with another poster. I’d add more mushrooms. I might also substitute ground turkey for beef to make it lighter.
