I got a basil infused olive oil once, that was great! And I think that's a great thing to give too. I plan on preparing some small olive oil bottles, infused with herbs, to give as gifts to hosts.

Like Water for Chocolate, for sure. (and I just added it to my Blockbuster list, so I can watch it again)

Great, Vicki! I just got married and had the greatest time planning it with my mother and mother in law. It's the 29th, so I'm trying to establish a tradition and we are having the lucky gnocchis (today: ricotta and spinach, with tomato sauce). Does anyone else eat gnocchis on the 29th of...

Marinate, cook on a frying pan with olive oil, slice thinly and serve over a green salad. Use the same pan to make the salad dressing.

You are welcome! I didn't think about you washing the cars but, now that you mentioned... ;)

It is. I got it from a brazilian book some months ago (the same book that had the rustic tomato pie, mmmm) and, since then, we've been making it a lot. Also, it's'a quick dinner to make. If anyone tries, please, let me know how it goes!

I like cold soups (potato and leek is my favorite) and fun salads. I made once a salad with tomato, bread, garlic and basil, but lost the recipe... Anyone knows how to make something like that?

This one is a winner: I cut two leeks lenghwise (just the white part) and then finely slice them. Then I get a medium skillet and soften them in butter (a little less than half of a stick). I add some vermouth (150ml, which is around 5 oz or 2/3 of a cup), let it evaporate and add broth (100ml...

Ps: Obviously, if I invited someone, I'll grab the check. And if I go with my husband and a female friend (or my sister, his cousin etc.), we pay the check and don't let the single woman pay.

I agree! It's terrible to end the evening over mathematics, with pens, calculators or whatever. For me, it ruins a nice time. I clicked on the first option (dividing equally) because maybe one day you'll spend more and on the other day you'll spend less, so in the end, that's ok. But I'm fair...

I don't know the difference and will pay attention to the answer. In the meantime, tell me something. You just roast the carrots or you boil them first? If you just roast them, for how long? Must be good!

Medium-rare. Letuce, tomatoe, a little mayo, a mini little mustard and some ketchup. Then, it depends on the day: Grilled onions OR Sauteed mushrooms Anf fat french fries on the side. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I toss broccolis with evoo, salt, pepper, smashed garlic and, sometimes, rosemary. And roast them for half an hour, around 420 degrees. Great!

Congrats, Lulu!!!! Today I went on my scale and I'm devastated! I'll try to plan some lighter foods for this week...

It tastes amazing, Constance! Really, it's worth the work! I made a couple last week, because I had some people over, and I'm sooo sad there were almost no leftovers!

Yes, it's sort of like that. But don't put too much cream cheese, or it will kill the eggplant or zucchini taste! Let me know if you tried and if you liked it. It's one of my favorite appetizers ever! :) If you want to see how it looks like, I found a picture I posted on my fotolog a long time...

I'll make a fusilli with pesto. Red wine and cold sparkling water. Leftover berry crumble for dessert. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

We have been making some salads and cold soups. And lots of cold beer ;)

Whipped cream French fries or baked potato?

I have been making a wonderful pie, with green dough, caramelized onions, parmesan and cherry tomatoes. I'm corying the recipe and the picture here: Dough 1 ½ cup of all-purpose flour 1 cup (very full) of parsley 1 spring of rosemary 100g (3.5 ounces, a little less than a stick) of cold butter...

PS: The Absinthe sold in Brazil doesn't have the ammount of hallucinogenic to make you crazy. It's only legal to sell the one that has teh approved ammount.

I've tried it the original way (with the sugar cube), just out of curiosity, but didn't like it. I liked a little of it, un a flute, with champagne. It was sooo long ago, though...

I guess I'm not enough of a gourmand, but I really enjoy Everyday Food for... er... everyday food. Just subscribed to Food and Wine, but didn't start recieving yet. And you got me curious about this Taste of Home one. I'm going to look it up. I was planning on subscribing for Rachel Ray...
