blonde cookbook ..., cook for tom. today i made angel food cake. the recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. the neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls., tom wanted fruit salad for supper. the recipe said serve without dressing. so i didn tsp dress. what a surprise when tom brought a friend home for supper, a good day for rice. the recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. it seemed kind of silly but i took a bath anyway. i can tsp say it improved the rice any., today tom asked for salad again i tried a new recipe. it said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce 1 hour before serving. tom asked me why i was rolling around in the garden.., i found an easy recipe for cookies. it said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it. there must have been something wrong with this recipe. when i got back, everything was the same as when i left., tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. he asked me to dress it for sunday. i don tsp have any clothes that fit it, and for some reason tom keeps counting to ten., folks came to dinner. i wanted to serve roast but all i had was hamburger. suddenly i had a flash of genius.. i put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. it still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.

pumpkin (peeled and cubed 1 inch pieces), onion (divided ), hot pepper (your choice i used habanero) (to control heat, don tsp use the seeds or inside ribs of the pepper), garlic (chopped fine or crushed ), olive oil (extra virgin works best for me as it gives it a nutty flavour), salt (check at the end of cooking to add more if needed), golden brown sugar

risotto with sausage and cranberry beans, make risotto , you absolutely must use a specific type of rice called arborio rice (carnaroli and vialone nano are also used, some say superior, but are more difficult to find). these types of rice release starch when stirred in a liquid; it is this process which makes risotto, otherwise you just have a starchy mess of mush. these types of rice are identified by their fat round grains and pearly appearance. they can be used to make other sorts of rice dishes, such as pilaf, but other types of rice cannot be used for risotto. arborio is no longer that much of a specialty product; it can be found in most large, well-stocked grocery stores in the italian section. or sometimes, misguidedly, in the asian section., okay , so now we have the rice. you will also need some good, low-salt stock or broth - it should be low-salt not for health reasons, but because a good deal of it will evaporate, leaving its salt behind, and i like to have more control over the salt in a dish. it can be homemade, but i m not going to be a snob about it because, in truth, we go through gallons of store-bought stock in this household and i don tsp see that changing anytime soon. furthermore, risotto is actually a dish which can be whipped up out of thin air when it seems as though you have nothing to eat, as long as you have butter, rice, stock, maybe a few herbs, and some leftover parmesan. i like the kind of stock purchased in tetrapak cartons, because they are resealable and can be put in the fridge and used as needed. if you really want to use homemade but you don tsp have time to make stock or don tsp like the aroma of roasting bones in your house (i don tsp blame you), you can buy really great stock at north market poultry and game - it is expensive, but can be diluted with a 2- or 3-to-1 ratio of water to stock, so it stretches. my general guideline is to plan on 1/4 cup dry rice per person, and about 4 cups of stock to 1 cup of rice. of course, this isn tsp exact and will vary depending on your elevation and the phases of the moon, but it s a good place to start. i usually just use 4 cups of stock and then dilute with water or wine (or sometimes beer, if that s all i have) if i feel i m going to run out., well, we have rice and stock covered, now we just need our setup: place the stock in a saucepan on your rear burner, bring to a simmer, and leave it there with a 6-8 oz ladle in, and place a large, wide saute pan (must be really large, plan that your rice will at least quadruple in size) or dutch oven on the burner in front. get out your favorite wooden spoon and flex your stirring arm., nice thing about using sausage is it s so full of flavor you can leave out the usual onion/garlic/shallot/celery nonsense if you re tired and don tsp feel like chopping. furthermore, sausage goes from the freezer to the pan without suffering too much. okay, let s go, risotto with sausage and cranberry beans - serves 4, links italian sausage , or 1 lb bulk (or hot, or a combination - definitely with some fennel), casings removed, cooked cranberry beans or 1 can white beans, drained, arborio rice, beef , chicken or vegetable stock, butter, freshly, finely grated parmesan cheese , plus more for garnish, an oz) flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely, lemon juice , or juice from 1/2 lemon, salt and black pepper to taste, red pepper flakes to taste, optional, good balsamic vinegar , optional
