Lucinda! Wassup? and what are you having for supper Sunday, July 8?

that sounds really good ! Let us know how it turns out, and the recipe too !
I wonder where Lucinda is ? I hope she's ok

It's a bar in an iffy area, but the food is so good. Will let you know how I put it together and how it comes out.

I am also worried about Lucinda She has missed a day here and there in the past, but I don't remember her being down for this long.

i get down to denver a couple times a year and am always looking for new places.

edit: oops, just saw it in the op. oh, east colfax

They have parking a few doors down.

And try a blue margarita! Yummy!

The chili I made was pretty much inedible. The mistakes I made were so bad that I am embarrassed to outline them here. Let's just leave it at inedible.

But, since I had *smothered* the burritos with it, it was there to stay.

The ground beef and sour cream filling was pretty good, though, and I was able to dig that out.

FWIW, my husband ate every single bite of his, though.

I've made it before and it's super easy to make, very fast and very yummy.

I too am worried about Lucinda! Will continue to send positive vibes her way.



Here's the recipe in case any one is interested;

Ingredients

1 cup basmati rice
2 limes
1 can (14-ounce) light coconut milk
1 medium (6- to 8-ounce) onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt
Pepper
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup water
1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into small florets
1 can (14- to 15-ounce) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained

Directions

Prepare rice as label directs. From limes, finely grate peel into small bowl. Squeeze 2 tablespoons lime juice into another small bowl.
In 5- to 6-quart saucepot, heat 1/2 cup coconut milk on medium-high until bubbling. Add onion, curry powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until pot is almost dry and onion begins to soften, stirring frequently.

Into pot with onion, whisk peanut butter, water, and remaining coconut milk. Heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat to medium. Add cauliflower and beans; cover and cook 10 minutes or until cauliflower is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in reserved lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

When rice is cooked, fluff with fork; gently fold in reserved lime peel. Serve curry with rice.

And it takes care of both vegetarian and vegan friends alike.

Actually a few years ago there were several people who posted here that tested too. That's where I found out about it.

Good luck!

I went to the America's Test Kitchen site and couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

I look forward to trying this...love the ingredients. I have been using limes a lot this
summer..they are unusually low in price right now.

I'm going to try this!!

Used a new find, packaged mac 'n cheese mix - Annie's brand spiral pasta and parmesan cheese mix. Organic, west coast local. Very good.

Soaked some fresh green beans, onions and mushrooms with spices for an hour to soften. Basil, a bit of thyme. Passed on the garlic for this.

Drained all well, but saved the water for the pasta boil. Added the beans to the pasta boil when I got to cooking. Sauteed onions & mushrooms in butter on the side while the pasta was boiling.

When the pasta was al dante, blended all with a bit of half & half, some butter and black pepper. Keeper.

I am a secret lover of boxed mac and cheese and will look for this brand. But I have to admit my most favorite ever is Velveeta and shells by Kraft.

Annie's brand, fwiw, has a rabbit logo ("Rabbit of Approval"). Oregon product distributed by a Berkeley company.

Mac 'n cheese fan here, as well. And another option- a Sicilian standard - Macaroni with garlic and oil. Sauteed garlic & red pepper flakes, cooked pasta, tossed with olive oil, grated parmesan and bread crumbs.

They also may have been hit by storms and not have power. We do worry about her when she's not here spreading sunshine!

Sometimes she just doesn't feel well enough.

Makes me wish I knew magic. I'd 'poof' her back to robust health!

....but it didn't have quite enough punch. Needed some minced red onion or somethin'.

When we lost touch with Housewolf, I sure wished that someone had contact info.

She's been sick but is back with us...check the c&b threads today

Glad she is okay
