    Everyone likes food, so how about we share some recipes? Vegan, vegetarian, carnivorous, whatever.. :)

    A brand new one that was very delicious:

    Zucchini Bisque

    1. Sautee two cups of diced zucchini and half of a yellow onion in olive oil

    2. Once they become soft, pour in two cups of vegetable broth, 1/4th tsp. of nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Put on low and let simmer for 20 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile, in a food processor, puree 12 oz. of silken tofu and a tablespoon of olive oil, when the mixture is done simmering, stir in tofu mixer. As an alternative to tofu if that's not your thing you could always use heavy cream.

    4. Serve and enjoy.
    That looks really good, and easy to do.

    Eggs in Purgatory

    I had never heard of this dish. When my girlfriend explained it...I thought, "Wow..what a cool name, and a very good combination of flavors.

    Essentially, you cook down some onion and garlic in a pan with oil...afterwards, enter a can of tomatoes...let those cook until they break up pretty easily and continue to let them sit on the heat for a bit. I would say maybe after 5-7 minutes, make a well in the tomatoes/tomato sauce and crack an egg in it. Next, let the eggs cook on the heat for 1-2 minutes, and then just move off the heat and let them finish cooking in the very hot tomatoe sauce...

    We tried this last night and it was incredible. Had some toasted artisan bread on the side with my own grilled asparagus. Delicious.

    Quick..somebody give me a good recipe for us to try tonight

    Szechuan Spicy Carrot Soup with Peanut Butter:

    * 1 onion, chopped
    * 1 celery rib, chopped
    * 1 garlic clove, minced
    * 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    * 1 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
    * a 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin
    * 1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot chile flakes
    * 3 cups chicken broth
    * 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
    * 1 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut or almond butter
    * 1 teaspoon sugar
    * 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
    * 1 cup milk

    1. In a large heavy saucepan cook onion, celery, and garlic in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until onion is softened.
    2. Add carrots, ginger, chile flakes, and broth. Simmer, covered, until carrots are very tender, about 45 minutes.
    3. Stir in remaining ingredients and purée mixture in batches. Return soup to pan and heat over low heat until hot, being careful not to let boil.


    We made this last night and it was spectacular.

    I think I've posted this here before. It's really good. We use Trader Joe's pizza dough and Fontina cheese. Our kids LOVE this. The truffle oil is essential - and worth it.

    TRUFFLED TALEGGIO AND MUSHROOM PIZZA


    1 pound pizza dough, thawed if frozen
    1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
    3/4 pound cold Taleggio or Italian Fontina, rind discarded and cheese sliced
    1 teaspoon white truffle oil (optional)



    Put a large heavy baking sheet (17 by 14 inches) on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 500°F.

    Stretch out dough on a lightly floured surface, pulling on corners to form a roughly 16- by 13-inch rectangle. Transfer to a tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork.

    Slide dough (still on parchment) onto hot baking sheet. Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, 6 to 10 minutes.

    Remove from oven; prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten. Scatter mushrooms over crust, then season with salt and pepper and lay cheese on top.

    Bake pizza until edge of crust is deep golden and cheese is bubbling and golden in patches, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with truffle oil (if using) and season with pepper. Serve immediately.
