DUers are good cooks

[bleedingheart]

I am currently making a wild rice turkey casserole dish and it is making my home smell so good....and where did I get the recipe...from a DU thread...

And ...by the way...Babette's Hobbit Pie...delicious!! My family has requested it many times for christmas day brunch!

So if any DUers have any more good stuff to share I am all ears/eyes!

1. We need to put together a DU cookbook.

The money we make can to the candidate that wins the primary.

2. my local democratic committee is doing the same thing...cookbooks

do make good money...

we hope to raise $21,000 for the 2004 election!

8. That wouldn't be a bad idea

There were a TON of excellent recipes on the Thanksgiving thread. One nice thing is is that if people submit them on a thread, you don't have to re-key them in for the publisher.

Anyone want to step forward and claim this project? I simply don't have the time but I would be happy to help.

3. Melsky's Spaghetti

2 onions
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 large can tomatoes
Olive oil

Sauté the onions in oil until semi transparent
Add carrots and celery, sauté for about 5 minutes.
Cover and cook on low heat about 15 minutes
Add the tomatoes, cook on low heat for at least 45 minutes.

Serve over pasta, rice or potatoes, with Parmesan cheese.

This is a very versatile recipe. All the amounts are approximate. Can also be served as stew.

This is one of those recipes that tastes better the next day. It's great to make a huge batch and freeze.

22. Reminds me of the question the new father asked the ob/gyn

"How long after the birth do I have to wait to have sex with my wife?"
"Depends on whether she's in a private or semi-private room."

7. I could be a master chef!

Italian is my forte. I can do a mean Chinese stir-fry. Tex mex to set your mouth on fire....without setting fire to your stomach. I can roast about anything and it'll never be dry.

I'd be happy to do the layout work.
Or heck, even a website.
