Yo Pip, I have finished all of your birthday cakes, and am hungry again, please post something. Have you had the strawberry napoleons at Patrick’s French Bakery in Bachman’s on Lyndale? Yummy. Also recently bought a brioche coffee cake there with raisins and walnuts, scrumptious! Can you tell it’s my munchy time of day? Happy Holidays and New Year from Faith!

whoops, sounds like I was right about not having to freeze good soup, it will be gone……so, make some more….get a case of squash, and a case of vermouth, and a palm tree………and this time freeze some!

ok, speaking of brain fog, I just re-read my post and I see why you thought I got my salt at the farmer’s market. I actually just segued to the concept of getting everything local after asking if you were really wondering where one could get local salt. So my comment about getting a lot of stuff from the farmer’s market over the summer was strictly about the veggies I got there. I think if you can get most of what you need, don’t worry about where the salt came from…but then I don’t use much salt.

Well, I’m not surprised you haven’t had Chicken Cacciatore (mean’s ‘hunter style’…as in…catcher/hunter, get it?) since it’s not on menus around here. Also not a ton of Italians in this part of the country. I grew up in upstate NY in the 60’s with many many Italians, many Sicilians and many red sauce restaurants with Chicken Cacciatore. It’s chicken done with a yummy sauce that involves browning the chicken, sauteeing peppers, capers, onions some wine and some tomato sauce……..mangia! and of course it’s traditionally done with the dark meat which is of course the yummy part. Cossetta’s does an ok steam table version but it’s too salty. I found a Giada Laurentis recipe online that I may try. Just bought some dry vermouth to put in it.

I think you’re right – I think it was more like 10 servings. Either way, it’s all gone now and I’m super sad about that.

I think the people you’re thinking of in NYC is the No Impact Man. His family lived for one year without leaving any environmental impact. Sounds really tough!

Where would you get salt in Minneapolis? I’m so shocked to hear that you got it at the Farmer’s Market. Can you give me any more information?

The salt issue was the one thing my friends and I discussed at length. Apparently one of the people participating in the documentary on Discovery (takes place in NW US) went to the Pacific Ocean to make their own salt!

Hmmm Chicken Cacciatore – I can’t say that I’ve ever had it. Although I did a quick recipe look up and it looks like something I’d enjoy.

I would eat anything on Lucia’s menu anyway. I was there last Thursday night with a friend and we had the foccacia w/3 spreads – holy delicious! There was a slightly warm artichoke spread and it was so yummy.
