My aim is to inspire . . .

Every week I'm trying to think of something I can inspire people to actually cook, so good to hear!

Three cheers for Brussels sprouts!

I live for Brussels sprouts! My favorite way to make them is pan seared with lemon and pancetta:

As in her campaign against the use of the word "gay" to mean "stupid." I think she will be the perfect addition to late night TV - she's a lot funnier than the guys who make up the current roster, and she injects a lot of social and racial awareness into her work.

Plus, she's the only reason to watch Pootie Tang.

Layaway is great!

I wish that Walmart still had layaway, because I would use it in these times. I used it several years ago to get our winter clothes. It was great to go pick out all the items for all the kids and just pay as we could. Then they all got their clothes at the same time, instead of one kid at a time.

But alas I'm already completely booked up. (Christmas exchanges, Nutcracker, etc.) But next trip! I'm usually in town a few times a year.

Looks like some cities may be in to do own meet-ups/food drives

Look for announcements over the next week or so, but I hope several of our local groups will re-convene for a pre-holiday bash too!

That was beautiful

Really, really beautiful. Thank you.

It continues with the DoD

I recently wrote an article on Technorati about the latest guideline that the Department of Defense has put in with regard to open source software. It seems a bit of clarification and clearing up of confusion was needed.

I have to say, it's really a great thing to see our government open up to the possibilities that open source technology can afford.

Great article here! I plan on coming back for more!

Hopefully this works.

Ellen was much funnier doing stand-up than in her sit-com. Her talk show seems to be working for her.

Hopefully Wanda will see the same success. She was so much funnier with Ima be Me than I ever saw her on Inside the NFL and the sit-coms she was in (although one day while channel surfing I came across her telling Larry David to "Shut the hell up," which, frankly I appreciated). Her stand up show proved that she was not only funny in her own right, but she's got a refreshing POV and is interesting to listen to.

It doesn't seem that FOX took that much of a risk putting her on Sat at 11. I think her target audience is much older than SNL; the question for me is - will they still be awake?

Butternut Squash!

Julie Heinrich — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:23:38 -0600

Butternut squash has always seemed like an autumn vegetable to me but I cook it year-round. My husband, Mr. Picky Eater, has come to love roasted butternut squash so it is on our menu often.

I seed, peel, and cube the butternut squash. Then I place it in a bowl with slices of onion and chopped fresh garlic. In a small bowl I mix olive oil, tumeric, salt, and pepper. Then toss the squash mixture with the olive oil mixture. Spread the squash mixture on a baking sheet and roast at 350 degrees until tender and slightly crispy.

Oh, and brussel sprouts! I basically cook mine like the recipe above for Shredded Brussel Sprouts with Fresh Herbs and they are delicious.

Glad you like them

I love the combination of greens or veggies with pasta, can you tell?

Sounds good!

Kalyn Denny — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:19:01 -0600

Your pasta with sausage and peppers reminds me of something I used to make, and now I'm trying to remember where I found the recipe! Your version is so colorful with the peppers!

greens and pasta

I do love garlicy greens with pasta, and there are several great ideas here! The kale and mushroom dish looks fantastic.

ready for fall

lisalawless — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:11:09 -0600

I don't know if I had too many zucchini this summer or what, but I was ready for fall vegetables this year. More than ever, I'm really enjoying winter squash this right now.
