The salmon was great. I hadn't used fennel before and the combination with apples and the spice rub made for a yummy dish. The only casualty of the meal was finding out that one of my Le Creuset dishes was not stove-top safe. Oh well.

Thanks, Ben & Shelby, for another yummy meal idea.

Hi Deb!

Just a little helpful hint on the soup thing:) I found that leaving the little plastic cap on the top of the blender helps the steam and air rise safely out of the blender. To prevent soup from coming out I cover it slightly with a kitchen towel. This will also help prevent burns if soup does come out. Hence the number of burns during January:) But I agree, if you have a big enough food processor it is the safer way to go:)

Ok, it's just freaky how we're on the same page. I also have made the Classic and the Southwestern versions of the Fine Cooking tomato soups lately. And I too figured out how to make a volcano in my kitchen, trying out my new Blendtec on the Classic tomato soup.... I have since decided that the food processor is definitely the better/safer option for pureeing soups.

Dude. Potato-Leek soup, with a little bit of milk added afterwards... and maybe boil some kale up in that mother. And use a little beef or sausage of some kind in there too for the broth. Damnit. Now I'm hungry.
What do you think manatee tastes like?

wow, next time leave ben out :)

Hi Deb! I have been trying to push Ben into eating "in season" but its proving to be difficult;) We have been doing a good job with buying our food at local farmers markets though. I love Jamie Oliver's food! I just showed Ben some of his recipes so hopefully we'll have some updates on that.
Good to hear from you!

Ben & Shelby,

Judging from your links, we're on the same page for food and cooking inspirations. When you're ready to tackle new material, check out Jamie Oliver (get your feet wet by watching his new "Jamie at Home" series on the Food Network on Saturday mornings) and anything by Alice Waters (but especially Chez Panisse Vegetables and Chez Panisse Fruits). Both Jamie and Alice place huge emphasis on using local, fresh, in-season ingredients with simple preparations. Some of our biggest "wow! I can't believe you MADE that!" compliments have been with the simplest recipes. One more thing - don't you dare let winter end without trying some of the Brussels sprouts recipes in the December 2007 issue of Fine Cooking. Even if you've never liked Brussels sprouts before, these recipes will convert you.
