  1. Last night we had a great dinner. Curried tomato-peanut soup (from the
    Feb issue of gourmet, easy to make, fabulous flavors) served with
    cornbread, a mustardy braised cabbage, and sliced apples.

    Tonight I'm going to make gorgonzola ale soup (recipe came from here
    when discussing beer-cheese soups) and a big spinach and portobello
    salad with red onions, pine nuts, yellow peppers and balsamic
    vinaigrette.

    Fresh cookies in the cookie jar last night, too. My mom's chocolate
    chip brittle.

    House is nice and warm and smells good, too!

    Sounds great as usual. Was the tomato-peanut hard to make? That recipe
    didn't happen to catch my eye in the magazine, but I will check it out.

  3. It was really easy, took maybe half an hour,tops. It was in one of
    their quick-cooking kinda sections. Definitely worthwhile - I added
    garlic and ginger and a little red pepper, but otherwise cooked it
    as-is.

    I bought a loaf of pumpernickle at the bakery today to go alongside
    tonight's soup.

    And I kept Wayne's recipe for tomato-cornbread dressing; it's gonna get
    used tomorrow night with the now-drying-out cornbread from last night.
    To go with it, carmelized onion cheddar (from TJ's) in a quiche with
    more carmelized onions. And something green. Probably steamed broccoli
    with lemon.

    I looked up that recipe. It looks pretty easy, and it's pretty much made
    from pantry staples (aside from the cilantro, at least this time of year).
    I'll give it a go if I can remember the cilantro.

    Jude, you don't do tofu, do you? I found a block in the freezer and was
    thinking I should do something with it this week while my husband is away on
    business (he won't touch the stuff). I get a little crazy in the kitchen
    while he's gone. :-) But the soup sounds great -- at least I'll have
    something to show for it that he'll like.

    Thanks!
    Chris

    Your menu sounds great! Nice mix of flavors. Is this the Curried
    tomato-peanut soup recipe.

    I love tofu, but my BF hates it. I don't cook it much; that's our
    compromise. He doesn't get chicken, beef, pork, etc at home, and I
    don't get tofu. Sounds kinda like your hubby!

    My favorite way to prepare tofu is pressed to get the water out,
    marinated, then baked, so it gets dense and chewy. Or else used in a
    stir fry. Sometimes, I like it 'scrambled", that is, crumbled into a
    skillet and heated in butter with some turmeric so that it looks like
    scrambled eggs. This is perfect alongside some brown rice and steamed
    asparagus for a nice, light, quick & easy supper.

    Personally, I'm not real fond of the texture after it's frozen. My best
    suggestion would be to squeeze the water out and crumble it into some
    tomato sauce, then use it in a lasagne. Or maybe a pot of chili.

    I'd be interested to know what you decide! Keep us posted!

    Yep, that's it. I added fresh garlic and ginger after the onions had
    cooked, and increased the curry powder some. I would chop the tomatoes
    smaller next time. Some people mentioned i their comments pereeing the
    soup; I had considered that but we agreed that dicing the tomatoes
    finer but not going for perfectly smooth was our preference. I
    sprinkled some chopped salted panuts on top, which added a nice crunch.

  8. I love soup weather, too.

    Tonight, black beans, pressure-cooked, then simmered a little while
    with onion, garlic, and hot sauce. Served over nearly-perfect
    cornbread (BH&G's "Perfect Cornbread" with oil instead of shortening).

    Yum.
