A ways back headdoc entered a recipe for pasta which
had a garlic-based sauce and lots of veggies. I can't seem
to find it here or in item #8. Audrey, it was a recipe you
either got from your daughter or from a restaurant in the
Seattle area.
Anyhow, I'd like to try it if I could find it. Help?
But the good news is that in re-reading this item I've
found a number of dishes I meant to try and didn't.
I've now indexed them for future use.

(Another option is that the recipe has already made it into the recipe
archives. Type "recipe" and then "chicken" and then the recipe is "Seattle
Angel Hair Pasta With Veggies - headdoc".)

It was rather out of date. I'm in the process of working my way through the
conference to update it. But it'll be a while yet before all current recipes
are listed there.

Last night we had basil marinated pork loin chops
and vinaigrette marinated vegetables and potato
packets, all done on the grill. The basil recipe
was one I got from a recent Kitchen Port Demo by
Kerrytown Bistro. The vegetable marinade was
in last night's paper and comes from Jane Fonda.
The potato pockets are an old trick from my camping
days. The whole meal was one Good Thing. ;-)

Recently on a Saturday walk I mentioned this recipe. Mary said she would be
interested in seeing a copy of it. So here it is. This has been my main dish
at Thanksgiving for the last several years. You'd think that would mean that
this is a complicated recipe, but actually it's surprisngly simple.
From the original Moosewood Cookbook, with some adaptations by Valerie:
Stuffed Squash
==============
2 decent-sized acorn or turban or other sweet winter squashes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 large clove of garlic
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon thyme
3-4 tablespoons butter (I cut this down to 1 tablespoon &/or use oil instead)
1 cup coarsely crumbled whole wheat bread
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 stalk chopped celery
juice from 1/2 lemon (I usually leave this out)
1/2 cup grated cheese (I've used mozzerella, provolone, cheddar, whatever)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Split squashes in half lenghthwise. Remove the seeds and microwave for 10-15
minutes, until squash is soft. You'll probably want to rearrange the squash
pieces part way through the baking to distribute the heat evenly. Careful,
the squash gets very hot. Alternatively, you can bake the squash in the
oven for 30 minutes or until tender.
While the squash is cooking, saute onions, garlic, celery, nuts and seeds in
butter. Cook over low heat until onions are clear, nuts are browned, celery
is tender (in other words [says Mollie Katzen], cook until everything is
perfect). Add remaining ingredients, except cheese. Cook, stirring, over
low heat 5-8 minutes -- until everything is acquainted. Remove from heat
and mix in the cheese. Pack stuffing into squash cavities. Bake, covered,
at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. After that, if needed, heat under the
broiler until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Mmmm! This is one of my all-time favorite recipes.

"...until everything is acquainted." Love it.
I'll most certainly be making this sometime this week.
Thanks a bunch for entering it, Valerie.

everything is acquainted".

Oh -- My sister doesn't like walnuts, so I often make that recipe with pine
nuts instead.

Here's what Jan and I made for yesterday's Grex pot luck. We think it's a
wonderfully yummy recipe. It's from the _Horn Of The Moon_ cookbook, by
Ginny Callan:
Oriental Salad:
==============
Marinade:
3/4 cup sunflower oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon tamari
Salad:
1 square tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (1/2 pound)
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon tamari
1 5.3 ounce package Chinese-style rice noodles
1 1/2 quarts boiling water
2 tablespoons sesame oil (do not substitute any other oil)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (approximately 1/2 lemon)
6 scallions, chopped
1 cup snow peas, sliced in half on an angle
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 red pepper, sliced in thin strips and cut in half
Combine oil, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon tamari in a medium-sized bowl. Add
tofu to marinade mix and refirgerate. This should sit for at least 2 hours,
but a day is fine. Then drain. Saute the tofu and fresh ginger in 1
tablespoon oil. When tofu is browned and crispy, pour 1 tablespoon tamari
over it and stir for 1 minute more. Cook noodles in boiling water for 3
minutes until just done. Do not overcook. Drain quickly and pour into bowl.
Add sesame oil and lemon juice immediately. Stir in, tossing with forks.
Add remaining 1 teaspoon tamari and rest of ingredients. Toss well and serve.
4 to 6 servings
Valerie's notes:
* Use extra-firm tofu. (I use the bulk tofu from the co-op).
* I add a few teaspoons of sesame seeds.
* The grocery store was out of snow peas, so we substituted green bell
pepper instead.
* Stir the tofu occasionally while it is marinating. The tamari sinks to
the bottom and misses some of the tofu if you don't.
* We use whole-grain rice Udon noodles from the co-op. Boil them
according to the package directions; 3 minutes would be way too quick.
* 8 ounces of noodles is fine; no need to stop at 5.3 ounces.
* We use whatever oil is handy, not necessarily sunflower oil.
* The toppings all sink to the bottom of the bowl no matter what you do.
Clever serving tactics can help mitigate this. Though it's no great loss
to end up with the toppings at the bottom of the bowl; they're good even
without noodles.

Healthier Maryland Crab Cakes
8 ounces of crab meat (or fake crab meat)
1/2 cup bread crumbs, divided
4 small green onions, white and pale green only, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
4 squirts Clancy's Fancy hot sauce (approx. 1/4 tsp.)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 eggs lightly beaten (or eggbeaters)
2 Tablespoons light or non-fat mayo
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated (non-fat is fine)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Combine first 10 ingredients and form into 6 thickish patties.
In a shallow bowl mix the 1/4 cup bread crumbs and grated cheese.
Carefully coat the patties in the breadcrumb mixture. The patties
will be quite loose and need to be handled gently but it can be done.
Brown the patties in olive oil on medium heat until browned on
both sides (approx. 3 minutes per side). Add 1 tablespoon of oil
to start and the second when flipping the patties. I think a
non-stick pan would be essential with this recipe as the patties
are fragile and couldn't take a lot of abuse.
Serve with lemon on the side.
This is one of those really quick meals that can be on the table
in 15 minutes if you have some leftover rice pilaf on hand. It goes
great with a side of salsa too.
The recipe is mostly from Zanzibar with a few changes to make it
lower in fat.

Ignore the "divided" after the 1/2 cup bread crumbs.

What on earth is non-fat sour 'cream' made of? Is vegetable spray lecithin?

I am curious, does it list ingredients on the container? The flavor from sour
cream comes from things other than the fat, just wonder what they used for
bulk. Buttermilk tastes pretty similar, same microorganisms ferment it.
Have you tried buttermilk on the potatoes?

Okay, here are the ingredients for fat free sour cream:
Grade A pasteurized cultured skim milk, milk, modified food starch,
nonfat milk solids, whey protein concentrate, propylene glycol mono-
ester, artificial color, kosher gelatin, sodium phosphate, natural
flavor, agar, xanthan gum, sodium citrate, locust bean gum, potassium
sorbate, vitamin A palmitate.
2 Tbsp. = 20 calories, 0 Fat, 3 Carb., 1 Protein.
Haven't tried buttermilk as a substitute. I'd think it would be
a bit too thin and have less flavor.
