I have made about three of her recipes and they all ended up being
favorites of their type. She's good. It makes me sad that she's being
beat-up some because she has no formal chef training. I guess being a
famous foodie isn't as easy as it looks. ;-)

And yet Rachael Ray is everywhere? That makes no sense to me.

Rachael Ray is the most annoying thing ever to emerge from Food Network.

She is kinda loud. And sometimes I think that anyone that bubbly must go
home and drown goldfish in Listerine as a release.

re #353
It's an Italian thing. That's why she can cook and you watch.

I promise not to tell Lidia Bastianich and Marcella Hazan you said that.

I made turkey pumpkin goulash for dinner - it's a recipe I got from
Bon Appetit that looked good. I've sampled it from the pot (dinner is
in 30 minutes) - it has a nice flavor and is a fairly lean dish.
I've also started baking for Christmas, so I have about 10 dozen
peanut blossoms and 3 loaves of pumpkin bread in the freezer. My
house has smelled *awesome* this weekend.

The goulash sounds wonderful. What a nice fall meal.
Speaking of fall, WHERE IS IT? It's so hot and humid here and I'm so
ready to go into soup-making mode.
Tonight we had a mustard glazed pork tenderloin, served with roasted
asparagus. Nothing new there. But intead of the usual pilaf or roasted
potato I paired it with a pear salad. (It had to be said. ;-) )
Adapted from Eating Well's web site, it consisted of chunked ripe pear,
celery, chopped pecans and dried cranberries. The dressing was a
mixture of bottled fat-free raspberry vinaigrette and honey. So simple
but it worked.

That's a great salad combo Mary.
I've been thinking about Waldorf salad. Haven't had it in years, but
something put me in the mood (apples, celery, walnuts, mayo dressing).
But the pear salad knocked that right out of my head.

Ok - I loved the goulash - Dave hated it. As in, "I can't eat this -
it's too strong." As in, he opted for microwaved Hebrew Nationals
instead.
Guess who's eating goulash for lunch? ;-)

Sounds excellent! I made Hungarian goulash for dinner last night - love
it, though my daughter picks around the onions. Ah, well. Egg noodles
do *not* reheat well once they are mixed with the goulash.

In Wednesday's Ann Arbor News there was a recipe printed for Cottage
Pancakes. I tried 'em this morning, making a few substitutions, and it
worked. They're rustic and crunchy but not heavy.
Here is a link to the same recipe courtesy of the Washington Post:
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/recipes/2007/10/03/cottage-pancakes/
My substitutions:
Whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose
Skim milk instead of 2%
I halved the recipe but used the whole egg.
I used a whole granny smith apple and finely chopped it.

I like pancakes [my mom used to fix them for us all the time] but I've
never made them for myself [for whatever reason]. Though this recipe
sounds like a keeper and one that I may try some day. Thanks, Mary!

I made some 'vegan brainless banana pancakes' (except the things I used-
cow milk not soy milk made them not vegan...) and they came out great.
I'll have to find the recipe.

Last night I made a sausage and pasta dish from _Everyday Pasta_, Giada's
latest cookbook. I don't really follow her show or have any of her books
but a blogger I respect had good things to say about both and linked to
this recipe. It was excellent. I made it as directed except for using
about half the pasta and using Barilla Plus penna. I did add the optional
hot pepper flakes.

I need to get back into a cooking mode again. I haven't done much in
quite awhile and my freezer supply of leftovers is dwindling and needs
to be restocked.

It's cold and white outside. Brrrr. But inside the windows are steamed-
up and it's a soup and sandwich dinner. A big pot of minestrone is
simmering and the bread is Whole Foods 12 grain. It's what you call
making the best of a dark and wet November day.

Sounds good! I've got split pea with ham sandwiches on the menu for
Thursday.

We made soup from ornamental kale, leeks from the garden (they survived when
the kale froze), green tomatoes, a runner bean root, some unripe bean seeds,
and olive oil. Time to take things out of hte freezer again.

I just took out some homemade chicken and rice soup from the freezer and
will have it tomorrow. Mary's right, it'll help overcome [somewhat]
this dark and dreary day. Though the little bit of snow fall was kind
of pretty. [I don't like the cold and snowy winters here, though. I
just wrote a little blurb about it in my blog a couple hours ago.]
