That sounds like something I need to make this weekend! thanks!
heidi - 11/09/11 22:39
no, not (e:paul)!

My pear cake is a variation on my mom's raw apple cake:

2 c. flour
1.5 c. sugar
1.5 t. baking soda
1.5 t. cinnamon
.5 t. cloves
.25 salt
3/4 c. vegetable oil (or 1 c. butter)
2 eggs
5 c. diced apples or pears
1 c. nuts (optional! i don't like them)

Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 min.
tinypliny - 11/09/11 21:57
What's the recipe for the pear cake? Do share!
tinypliny - 11/09/11 21:57
Paul as in (e:paul)?!
heidi - 11/09/11 21:42
My pear cake is better (with pears from the 24).

Jalapeno?
Category: food
I need one jalapeno for the mushroom soup I'm going to make, and I was walking home from the office so I stopped at price rite. You can't buy single jalapenos there. Wtf am I going to do with all of these??

tinypliny - 11/09/11 18:28
OOOH! Jalapeño/Cheese bread!!!
tinypliny - 11/09/11 18:27
And in a similar vein. Roast tomatoes and jalapenos together to make super awesome tomato-jallapeño chutney. You can even caramelize onions to blend together with fresh cilantro to make it even more interesting!
tinypliny - 11/09/11 18:23
Brand new idea: Roasted Jalapeño and plum chutney. Roast a good quantity of plums and jalapeños at 350 deg F till they plums start caramelizing. Add some honey and blend to a puree. Add organic orange peel in the blending phase for extra flavour!
metalpeter - 11/09/11 17:34
If you like Chili or other foods like that spicy add them sorry no idea how much ? Also I just saw an ad the other day that some alcohol maybe southern comfort has a variety with this in it so maybe there is some way to add it to a drink? Heard of something called Jalapeno poppers maybe applebee's ? so maybe make those what ever they are.....
tinypliny - 11/09/11 13:53
In fact if you add chopped cilantro along with the jalapeño to the oil and blend it together, it becomes a FABULOUS seasoning when frozen.
lilho - 11/09/11 13:31
All great ideas... I get excited thinking about spicy food. Mmmm.
tinypliny - 11/09/11 12:07
That's a really cool (hot?) idea! :)

One more: Chop the jalapeño into small pieces, heat a wok/fry pan, add some olive oil, season with mustard seed and generous coconut flakes, turn the stove off. Add the chopped jalapeños and swirl around for less than a minute). Blend to a fine paste in powerful blender, divide into small bits and freeze. Instant seasoning/heat/spice for future soups!
jason - 11/09/11 10:56
You can get some tomatillos, onion, lime, s & p, and make some salsa verde. Or put it into some veggie chili. Or dry a bunch.
tinypliny - 11/08/11 21:41
If you are feeling adventurous, you could make jalapeño pickle. Chop them into discs. Take a HUGE piece of ginger, chop it into roughly same sized bits as the jalapeños. add chopped limes or lemons, salt VERY liberally. Store in a glass jar in the fridge for future use.
tinypliny - 11/08/11 21:38
Chop them into everything. :)

They last forever if stored in the crisper tray.

Yummy
Category: food
Cast & Crew in Mansfield, Pa., is so yummy. Those are spicy mushrooms in my pasta, not meatballs. The sandwich is a bastard chicken something...

The mushroom pasta? It doesn't have a name because the chef improvised it just for me. It's a cream sauce with some spinach. I asked for "something spicy & vegetarian". The restaurant is not even predominantly vegetarian, it's awesome because I can get creative, interesting and yummy food! "Cast & Crew Improvisational Restaurant" is the full name.
tinypliny - 11/06/11 00:42
What were they called? I bet their menu is interesting. Are they a completely vegetarian restaurant? That pasta looks like its in thai coconut sauce, was it?

Passed!
Category: school
I passed the New York State bar exam! I won't get admitted to practice until late February, assuming I pass the last hurdle - a "character & fitness review".

I'm also taking the PA bar exam at the end of February.
