Lasagna question

I’m making a lasagna tonight for this weekend—I’m bringing up to a cabin in the mountains. Question is: should I bake it now, and reheat it this weekend? Or, assemble it without baking it? I’m worried that if I do the latter, the sauce may leak out on our drive up. Thoughts?

curdled buttercream?

I just attempted to make strawberry buttercream frosting. I even followed a recipe. And the frosting curdled! what gives? any ideas?

Thanksgiving in Portland?

Portland (OR) folk: do you have any recommendations on a restaurant to take my visiting uncle to for Thanksgiving? I’d rather cook a turkey myself, but since he’s never been to Portland, he wants to eat out. Sadly, Higgins is already booked solid. Where should I bring him? Oh, and he’s paying. =D

FINALLY had time to cook dinner!!

And it didn’t involve pasta! Used up CSA veggies: cipollini onion, light green chard, delicious basil. Added a tomato from the garden and some chicken sausages. Served over polenta with parmesan cheese. Man, I missed my kitchen.

What’s with MrTweet?

And why is he all keen on recommending people? Anyway, I made a (frozen) pea risotto tonight with brocoli raab on the side. Thinking about whipping up a batch of chocolate chip cookies for dessert...

15-minute sauce?

Last night I tried the recipe in the latest Cook’s Illustrated for their “15-minute” tomato sauce from canned tomatoes. (I subbed parsley for the basil). Verdict? Decent for a quick sauce but frankly, your standard 2-hour tomato sauce is much better. Plus, “15 minutes” was more like “45.”

Shudder???

Why would an organic garden make anyone “shudder”?! like, “Ooh, scary! food that is good for you and the planet!” Anyway. Just had mac & cheese at Report on Burnside. Quite delish.

Eggs...

Just eat them with salt... yum!

Laura Parisi 9 Apr 2009, 07:37 AM

brilliant!

and I have exactly four eggs...

Laura Parisi 8 Apr 2009, 09:52 PM

Eh, nevermind.

It’s too late. I’ll stop by the grocery store in the AM and by some fruit.

Help!

I have to whip together a dessert to bring to a potluck at work tomorrow—I completely forgot about it. It has to be something that would be good when dipped in chocolate (what isn’t?). Problem is, I have about 1/2 stick of butter on hand and no cream. I might have some shortening though. Any ideas? (I do have chocolate.)

shrimp tacos for dinner!

sauteed garlic shrimp, a mango-avocado salsa and red cabbage. And rice and black beans. Not local at all... but so good. Only complaint: the grocery store was out of the good corn tortillas, and the ones I had to buy don’t hold a candle to my normal brand. Of course, they only came in a 5 pound bag!!!

soup!

It got cold and rainy again here. So, soup’s for dinner! Just tossed some leeks, carrots and potatoes (all from the farmer’s market) into the stock pot. I think it will be yummy...
