Post #32 - October 6th, 2011, 12:05 amIs there room at the table for one more? I've never been to Toons and would love to give it a try. At this point, it would be for dinner only."Life is a combination of magic and pasta." -- Federico Fellini

Post #34 - October 8th, 2011, 11:21 amI will be bringing Venison Stroganoff.
Now is the time to post your offerings, or to let us know if you cannot attend.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik

Post #35 - October 8th, 2011, 11:46 amI am bringing venison stew. I guess great minds think alike this month, GAF. Although nr706 thinks there is going to be food throwdown on the venison dishes.

Frequently wild meats are compared to chicken in taste, how do we really know when the Calzone is from you?

Post #44 - October 10th, 2011, 8:20 amA friend mentioned how great her butternut squash lasagne was, and that sounded good, but most of the recipes I found looked to be on the sweet side, and either wildly healthy or wildly unhealthy. Mine should be in between. It has chopped roasted chicken thighs (garlic, rosemary, lemon, white wine), fresh mozzarella, grated parmesan, low fat ricotta, low fat greek yogurt, whole wheat lasagne noodles, chopped tomatoes, roasted butternut squash, roasted mushrooms, black pepper. In theory it makes 12 servings, but I cut it into 8.
I also didn't freeze it, since I am not really sure about how well it would thaw.Leek

Post #46 - October 10th, 2011, 10:01 amI forgot the mushroom allergy. My Venison Stroganoff has sliced button mushrooms.

Post #47 - October 10th, 2011, 10:18 amPlain button mushrooms are OK in smaller quantities. And I can cook things I wouldn't necessarily eat Plus GAF, don't be sorry, it just has to be labelled that it has mushrooms. David has no allergy. But with this crowd, it's likely to be porcini dusted whatever puffs, which are out.
It's not an aversion, I lack an enzyme to digest mushrooms. It's like lactose intolerance on steroids. 15 minutes after eating a portobello it suddenly does its best to escape my system in any way possible. Very exciting, while it's going on.Leek

Post #49 - October 10th, 2011, 2:28 pmAll of the food for exchange sounds so delicious. I wish I had had time to cook this month so I could participate. Looking at my calendar, maybe for.... ummmm.... the January get-together?
PS. I still plan to be at dinner tomorrow night, though. Looking forward to it!

Post #52 - October 12th, 2011, 10:53 amHi,
We left without making arrangements for next month. If we are meeting on the second Tuesday, it will be November 15th. If this date is acceptable and nobody else has volunteered for November, I can arrange it.
Thanks to the Spice House for the unexpected gift to everyone yesterday of spices. I went in there for some cumin and corriander, then look what happened!
Regards,Cathy2

Post #53 - October 12th, 2011, 11:03 amThe 15th is perfect for me, but it is, in fact, the third Tuesday. (I can't make the second Tuesday, the 8th).Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone.

Post #55 - October 12th, 2011, 11:47 am15th works for me! Sorry i had to duck out early but it was worth it for my few minutes with Mr. Ruhlman...
I have already eaten Tom's calzone and it was delish!

I concur! The calzone smelled so delicious while heating in the oven that my mouth was watering before I even took a bite--and it was big enough for two lunches! Thanks, Tom--and thanks to those of you who shared your extra portions with me. They are a real lifesaver this week, since I don't even have time to go to the grocery (big project! looming deadline!) As soon as I get a chance, I'll post some impressions of Toons food in the Toons thread.
Edited to add: This is certainly not intended as a slam on other participants' cooking. I just haven't gotten to the rest of the dishes yet!
