“Have you expanded your palate lately…?” The Passionate Foodie ends this morning’s post with just that question. He has! With a Hungarian Bikaver Reserve going for under $20 at the Lower Falls Wine Co. Great review and historical context of the wine and vineyard.

Seeds and String is taking a trip down memory lane and having fun with popcorn, the spicy, sweet variety.

I had just skinned the eggplant from my frig when I came across Mama Cooks’s Wednesday post on Roasted Eggplant alla Frank McClelland of  L’Espalier and Sel de la Terre. I sprinkled a bit more olive oil on the baking sheet to get around that detail, and kept going. What results! This was a delicious, fast, ‘keeper’ meal (and a great alternative to my stand-by pasta with eggplant dish; I love it, but basta!)

Delicious Dishings is ignoring the ice and cold outside. Inside, it’s a different story.

If you want to read more on the Cape Ann Fresh Catch CSF from yesterday’s post, and on CSFs, in general, have a look at Clare Leschin-Hoar’s article published in the Wall Street Journal in June, “Taking Stock in Fish.”
