Tara ,'Empty Places'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Spinach is to be boiled for 20 minutes, then cooked in a pan with some butter.
This recipe seems to be missing a key ingredient:
IDEAL CHILLI SAUCE
Tomatoes, stewed, 1 quart.
Celery salt, 1 teaspoon.
Sugar, 1 tablespoon.
Onion, large, sliced, 1.
Salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons.
Mix all together, and let simmer two or three hours. Strain through a sieve. Serve with croquettes, broiled protose, or nuttolene.
It all started with TNT showing Episode III. I had boycotted it because Jar Jar was so damn annoying. But folks said it was good. So I watched it. And now I pulled out my DVD's of IV, V, and VI original theatrical releases. Watching planet Hoth on a cold winter morning makes me dive under blankie more.
1914 dietary instructions say not to eat fruits and vegetables at the same meal. If you want to have a fruit dessert, then have a meal made of rice, macaroni, or nut foods. If you want to have vegetables as the main course, then serve a squash pie or custard for dessert.
I gotta mention that it's not very readable in a huge chunk of text, like paragraphs, so if you're using it for correspondence, you might want to switch to a serif font
Heh - I admire your diplomacy.
He's VERY good-natured, and just chuckled at my rant and said that he loves Comic Sans. So, no blood was shed. YET.
I'm reading through the old vegetarian cookbook -- this is the 1914 edition of a cookbook originally published in 1910.
The Bro and SiL gave us Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (which I promptly re-named "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, ESPECIALLY TIM" [he doesn't do a lot of the cooking around here, despite the fact that he's the vegetarian]), which is this amazing 750-page book that's not just a cookbook; it has long sections on the ingredients, and how they work in different dishes, and different cooking techniques, and why (for instance) arborio rice is preferred over basmati rice in such-and-such dish.
I'm really going to dig reading it.
ION, I didn't get to bed until 3 a.m. last night, but then I slept for 10 hours and I feel somewhat human today. Though my head is still stuffy, but I think that's on the way out.
Glad you're feeling somewhat human today, Tep.
Looks like we're going to go see Sherlock Holmes today, for reals! As opposed to just talking about it like yesterday.

That era was big on "digestibility" and nsm into what we currently think of as nutrition - lots of white starch with very little fiber was considered FAR more nutritious than the other way around.
(At my cabin up in Canada, we have several old pasta & potato chip tins that we use for storage that proudly proclaim "98% digestible!" on the side as their main selling point.)

I've got that book. I haven't looked through it much (I got it from my mom in one of her cookbook purges), but the parts that I have looked at looked pretty good. It's my usual go-to for "I bought this interesting-looking vegetable at the farmers market, and I have no idea what to do with it."
Teppy, I am glad you are starting to feel better.
TCG gave me The Best Recipes in the World by Mark Bittman for Christmas, and I have been reading it all morning.
And she's word-of-mouth sold six copies of Jilli's book, and her mom says the change since she first read it has been like a year of therapy.
!!!
I ... that's the best thing anyone has said about my book, I think.
I have Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and I like it. There's a really great rice recipe in there. I'm blanking on the name but it's something like Rice with Herbs and Lemon it has lots of fresh herbs, butter, and lemon juice and is really tasty.
Also there's a good mix of easy and hard recipes.
