What you need is small or medium fresh cucumbers. I got them at the farmers market this morning. Make sure they're firm. I paid $10 for this whole box, heh. Oh yeah! I found sorrel too so my sorrel soup recipe is coming up!

Additional ingredients include garlic, horseradish root (optional because it's freaking impossible to get here), lots of dill herb (can be fresh but dried dill is best), salt (preferably good sea salt or coarse kosher salt, the less refined the better).

Look at the pics and comments for how to make delicious pickles! Enjoy!

Thanks, Kapitan! I've been looking for a good pickle recipe. :2thumbs:

Glad someone is interested, heh. Do try to get that horseradish root in there.

Let the grillin' continue!!!! :five:

Oh man was this good last night: http://thegoodfoodblog.com/

From the other night.... before baby's arrival:

BBQ'd Teriyaki chicken thighs :slobber: White rice, fresh green beans from our garden, mixed w/ baby carrots, garlic toast, and fresh lemonade.

The beauty of living on green acres; tonight I am having tomato, cherry tomato and bell pepper salad, and Abby is having cucumbers, none of which has even been in the fridge. I must have picked five pounds tonight, so we'll be taking some to our respective offices.

:nod:

The meal that made sauerkraut famous (or at least eatable): Polish hunter's stew, served with potatoes and home made pickles :2thumbs:

Sorry for double post, heh.

With that spread.... I want to stay home on a Friday night. Looks fabulous Felicia!

I know this is a what's for dinner thread, but I think we need some breakfast dishes.

In the spirit of the Northwest:

A smoked salmon and cheese omlette.

Now that's what I call a bread! Got this beauty during my trip to New York last weekend.

so i have to brag....

my son is taking CTE class at school and he is learning to cook so this afternoon he made us a veggie stir fry....so yummuy... it had fresh carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and top ramen. that was it.

i would have taken a pic, but we ate it ALL!!

We are feasting on homemade scones all day today. For dinner...scones with fresh tomatoes from the garden, bacon, lettuce...peppers, onions.... :nod:

My son said he wanted ribs for dinner.

I cook 'em straight up - just salt and pepper. If I had a grill, I would use it, but the oven has to do.

Best of all, its a way to get him to eat meat!

Chicken noodle soup from scratch, a green salad and a baguette with butter. For dessert, pumpkin spice cookies with a cream cheese frosting from scratch. Yea I'm celebrating getting back to the gym tomorrow.........after 6 weeks. HAHA!! :haha:

Last weekend I received my new Le Creuset crocks from my mom as a belated birthday gift. I'm such a kitchen appliance/gadget HO. HAHA!!! I found a fabulous recipe for French Onion soup on foodnetwork.com. It was the perfect dinner for a blustery evening. I also made a caesar salad with dressing from scratch. BON APPETIT and meat free!!

Looks good abirken. It looks restaurant quality. :five:

I finally added a post to my food blog after a few months. Slacker! I got a good photo from a Thai place. Yum: http://thegoodfoodblog.com/

I made some fried Ice Cream the other night. Not bad: http://thegoodfoodblog.com/deep-fried-ice-cream/

She who has the most kitchen gadgets wins!!

I love kitchen gadgets, my favorite is the big hopper garlic press from Pampered Chef and my Stones!!! Oh and the Kitchen Aid, and the food chopper and ......

Looks good Alison, we are coming for dinner.

Speaking of gadgets. My wife just broke our most favorite spaghetti scooper and I can't find another one for the life of me. Maybe one of you guys would know.

It's a scooper that has a couple of scooping teeth on the end, but also within the plastic handle it has 3 holes for measuring how much spaghetti to put in. One hole = 1 person, middle hole = 2 people, large hold = 3 people. We used that religiously and it was always perfect portions of spaghetti.

It's a pretty flat utensil about a foot in length, has anyone seen it/knows where to buy one?

Thanks :)

Any good kitchen store should have one. Wiliam Sonoma is in Trolley Square, or IKEA I bet would have something. Have you looked at Target or Wal-mart, even they should have something like that.

Spoons N Spice has just about everything. It's located in Sandy at the Sandy Mall (9400 S and 700 East). I think there is also one around Sugarhouse somewhere - or at least there was at one time.
