I made this the other night (using butternut squash) and it was fantabulous.

Last night I made burritos and I put hot Spanish smoked paprika in the meat sauce and it was just divine.

I'm a pumpkin whore :D

Sometime this month, many of the food items you purchase will come with labels that identify the country where they were produced. Get ready for even more fine print to read in the grocery store! A 2002 law requiring country of origin labeling (COOL) takes effect by the end of September. Now, in many cases, you will be able to know where your food comes from.

Have you seen my pumpkin costume?

but ignorance was blissful...

My nose is running from the capsaicin in the air - I'm making harissa! :D

Food labeling is set to change in Canada too - but it applies to domestic food.

My first stop when looking for any receipe, excellant search engine, a binder system to keep all of your recipes together and thousands of recipes to choose from

Well worth a visit

Thanks cutsdean! I will check it out.

Tomorrow (and on the weekend) I am not only cooking for Wilderness and his parents, but his maternal grandparents as well. I was warned that the grandfolks don't eat spicy and are very meat and potatoes people. I'll be making a roast Saturday, I think, but I'm still figuring out what to make tomorrow. All I know is I'm making these zucchini pickles to eat with it! :D

Today I'm also making these tomatoes. Wilderness and I will be having some tonight in a sandwich with arugula, bacon and brie.

those tomatoes look heavenly

Your tomato ideas inspired me. I think I am going to work on some of this on the weekend http://www.domesticgoddess.ca/recipes.php?recipe=10136

Ohhhhhhh. That looks good too.

My tomatoes were incredible - I've still got plenty left too for something on the weekend...

I am the very proud new owner of a J.A. Henckels fine edge forged Granton Santoku. :D

sweet. new cutlery rocks!

some of my family members have chipped in and hired a personal chef to cook up a bunch of meals (3 homestyle ones and 6 more entree type ones to be exact) to help out with the daily grind around here during chemo. (how awesome is that, btw!) we met with her and told her what we liked and didn't and instead of choosing each meal, we asked her to plan a menu. she's been here once already. cooked, cleaned up her stuff, packaged it all up and left. she's sooooo nice too. anyway, she just sent us the menu for the entrees and one of the things on it is mojito chicken. i can't wait to taste it.
