Wow, that tomato-melon-onion chutney was DELICIOUS. Sers, like our mom would say, it was to DIE FOR!!! Thanks for sharing such a treat with me on our picnic, Becky!

Nice! Your posts are always so timely! I bought a bunch of different peppers at the farmers market this weekend, so i'll have to give this a whirl!

This looks & sounds soooo good! I am a recent (within the last year or so) beet convert, and so far I have found one hot/wilted salad (with the greens) plus a cold quinoa/beet/feta salad which have rocked my world. Jeremy still won't come near a beet, but I love 'em! Yum yum!

I have a 1964 Betty Crocker version of a very similar book (Betty Crocker's NEW Dinner for Two) that I got from Stuart's mom. I've actually made a couple of things out of it, but agree that it mostly makes for hilarious reading in a way that only dated recipes and home-making advice can manage (Jellied Chicken -- ewwwww!). Should you need more material for this series, let me know :)

Wow.
Genuine kudos to the art director who managed to make ice cream look disgusting! I look forward to more in this series.

It was actually pasta, flavored (I think?) with beets. They must have cooked the beets and ground them in with the pasta dough. It tasted sweet and beetlike--enough to make me think they didn't just dye the pasta with beet juice, but not so beety as to suggest a tremendous presence of the earthy root veg.

That looks DELICIOUS! How did they cut the beets i...

That looks DELICIOUS! How did they cut the beets in spaghetti size?

Made this and added chopped cherry tomotoes. Looks like the Italian flag and possibly the best pizza ever. Certainly the prettiest I've ever made.

If only we could have exchanged herbs via some sort of pressurized underground tube (a la bank drive-throughs)!

Stupid Vince Vaughn! At least some good came of his movie. It's funny that you only had parsley and wanted cilantro, because I was in the reverse situation last night (I wanted parsley but only had cilantro. Which Scott initially thought was parsley).

freezing tofu completely changes its texture! It gets spongey and chewy and will soak up sauces much better. PLUS if you have tofu getting near the expiration date you can always save it by sending it to the freezer. After thawing (usually in the fridge for me) just stick in a colander and press all the water you can out of it!

Aw you deserve it! Your stuff is awesome :)

I would like to nominate myself for some guest posting.

Also, a small gem from a recipe: "Whisk to combine it all, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and set aside for a hour. It will be bubbling vigorously and look like something that dinosaurs used to fall into."
