In all seriousness, a recipe thread isn't a bad idea - you can't go wrong with a food thread...

Sure you could. I mean, sure one could. If one disagrees with the other's nutritional values and STARTS SHOUTING AND DEMANDING THEY ONLY POST ABOUT, SAY, GRANNY SMITH APPLES.

 

green somewhere.

Can you feel the looove tonight? :)

 

I will be getting into the fall spirit (it barely broke 80 degrees today so I guess it's fall :D ) by making my fan-friggin-tastic butternut squash soup. It's kind of like the squash soup Wolfgang Puck serves at his chain outlets, only way the hell better.

 

If you like deadly decadent food, I'll share this one.

 

Come Mardi Gras time I might even share my gumbo recipe. :D

Applesauce

 

hope you enjoy.

Steff, Soxy, Mercy!...there are some great articles and recipes on this site.

That applesauce recipe takes too much time and attention for me.

 

I just slice up as many apples as I’m in the mood for preparing, removing the cores, leaving the skins; put the pieces in a glass bowl and splash them with a little real maple syrup; put the lid on the bowl and put it in the microwave; punch the number sequence on the microwave for ‘sensor cook, soft vegetables’; and return when I hear the buzzer in maybe 5 minutes. I usually bypass the blender phase, sprinkle some cinnamon on the cooked fruit and just eat it then and there.

 

If I’m going to make real applesauce, I might add a little water and cook a few minutes longer, and then puree the results in the blender.

 

I always have a big bowl of various fruits out in my kitchen, with the result that some pieces occasionally get buried at the bottom and over ripe before I catch them. The microwave treatment means nothing goes to waste. It also works great for when you misjudge the ripeness of something like a pear and cut into it too soon. Nuke it!

Anyone do much dehydrating? One of my favorite backpacking items is to at home dehydrate the applesauce (actually almost any fruit sauce) then rehydrate with some hot water at breakfast, leave it in a nalgene™ bottle wrapped up in a koozie, and enjoy a warm treat around lunch time.

 

For those that do not do much backpacking, when you are carrying everything you will need,. weight becomes an issue. So dehydrating food removes a substantial amount of water weight.

Yep. The biggest adjustment we have to make going from car camping to backpacking was the move from beer to hard liquor to save weight. :P
