    Potato + Leek Soup – I am in love!

    • Karin December 6, 2010 at 9:57 AM #

      I have to say, it got two thumbs up from my family. Usually my potato soup is thicker so I was a tad weary about so much liquid, but ti was perfect. Used a potato masher instead of the mixer, so you still had some little pieces in the mouth. Will repeat this creation.

    After tasting the Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Nuts, I knew I had to take them to work or I would eat them all.

    Everyone at the office loved them and asked me to bring them again.

    Being snowed in for 3 days limited my choice of what to make to: spicey carrots, spicey carrots or the spicey carrots.

    And, I have to say, it’s a lovely dish!

      Hi Reds…so lucky you had all the ingredients at home for these carrots! Would love to leave a comment on your blog, but it requires me to have a wordpress account and since I don’t have a wordpress blog…I don’t have an account. Is there another way to leave you comments?

    I made Dorie’s Spiced Butter Glazed Carrots and they were DELISH! These is so easy, so flavorful and complimented a dinner of brisket and potato latkes. Carrots are a versatile vegetable and both kids and adults love them. These are going to become a weekly staple!

    A few people have left feedback on my blog about a tip in dealing with the speculoos dough, and how they wished they knew before making them, so I am sharing it for those planning on making these delicious cookies.

    this dough is VERY soft, so it can be a bit frustrating when working with it. My solution for this was instead of refrigerating the dough for three hours, I put it in the freeze it for about 1 1/2 hours, already rolled out and covered in cling wrap, as recommended by Dorie. Once the dough got hard, I cut the shapes, and they came right off. And because the dough was semi-frozen, they held their shape beautifully.
