It was a typo. What I meant to say was:

Yo girl, when you gonna let me tap dat AGAIN

post your favorite thing to do with butternut squash

oh and is it in season

saw some nice looking ones the other day but dont know what to do with them other than a soup

11/6/2009 3:28:32 PM

Good lord... the first page in this thread is spot on why everyone thinks dnl is so fucking strange...

[Edited on November 6, 2009 at 3:33 PM. Reason : jeez... make that the entire thread]

The first thing that comes to mind is risotto. Bake/microwave/whatever the squash and mash it. Cook arborio and an onion and some garlic in oil for a few minutes, add 1/2 cup white wine till evaporated, then mix in a little of the mashed squash with the first dose of stock. Keep adding stock until it's done, then at the end mix in parmesan cheese and more of the squash. Season with black pepper and whatever else you fancy.

Other people would get more detailed instructions but I imagine you know how to make risotto.

I wish I had the recipe for a butternut stew my friend made me once. I am not big on blended (any vegetable) soup but this left it in chunks with other veggies and was really good. Maybe kind of like http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/spiced-butternut-squash-stew-with-couscous-recipe/index.html

how long will a mousse hold?

the recipe i have says to serve with at least 1 but less than 4 hours of refridgeration

however, the time of when i'd need it, is not conducive to this

so, i dont think i can make it the day before?

11/23/2009 3:39:05 PM

ok well you failed on that one^

so here's another

are there any reservations about freezing soup that's made with a not insignificant amount of wine?

7/26/2010 2:25:44 PM

Well shit, I never saw the last question But I would have said making mousse the day before is a no go.

I would think freezing soup with wine in it would work OK. Has it cooked long enough for the alcohol to mostly cook off? And what else is in it? I know some flavors are heightened by freezing, so it may alter it a little bit but I don't think it's going to ruin it.

[Edited on July 26, 2010 at 2:30 PM. Reason : I know I have frozen soup with a little bit of wine, but never a lot]

7/26/2010 2:30:01 PM

hmmm

well, i'll be adding ilke 16oz white wine, 8oz chicken stock and maters as the liquid components

standard mirepoix, home roasted red peppers, garlic, thyme, other shit

the high amount of wine vs stock was my concern.

guess we'll just find out!

i usually really looveee frozen homemade soups.

only cooking forl ike 30-40 minutes, and after seeing some paper on here a while ago about alcohol cookoff i'd say it's not gone

[Edited on July 26, 2010 at 2:38 PM. Reason : e]

7/26/2010 2:38:02 PM

I think you'll be fine. I love freezing soup too. And I love making lots of different kinds of soup in the summer when there are a bajilion kinds of fresh vegetables around.

7/26/2010 2:39:49 PM

Should XSMP stay or go?

7/26/2010 2:46:53 PM

Stay. Because if he goes he'll be back anyway.

7/26/2010 2:49:00 PM

Shake or bake?

7/26/2010 4:19:34 PM

Shake. Definitely shake. Like a salt shaker.

7/26/2010 4:25:01 PM

do you want this aquarium?

7/26/2010 4:25:40 PM

^^ Shake it like a salt shaker or shake it like a Polaroid picture?

[Edited on July 26, 2010 at 4:26 PM. Reason : carats]

7/26/2010 4:25:58 PM

^ Both, actually

^^ Fuck. I am forgetful. Yes.

7/26/2010 4:26:25 PM

do you mind if i spit some PM game at you? I promise not to bring my A-game... just my e-game

7/26/2010 6:51:58 PM

If I was to bring back a beer for you, would you want a dark or not dark?

So far I have on my list:

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/208/646/
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/222/695

and maybe a Kriek - cherry beer.

Still doing some research, but those both are highly rated and I like them. I don't know any darks other than the special one I got

^^ I would be sad if you didn't.

^ I LOVE cherry beers! So ... that one

As for Fareako, I'll just go with http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/208/646/ and he will like it because I said so.

7/26/2010 8:47:47 PM

Word, haha. I didn't recognize one that's highly available over here on BA but I'll pick one or two up. Bags are getting crowded

crap, now I need to ask a question:

Why doesn't McDonald's sell hotdogs?


[Edited on July 27, 2010 at 4:02 AM. Reason : .]

7/27/2010 4:00:35 AM

how does it feel when people call you swinkle?

7/27/2010 9:17:53 AM

^^ I have no idea. Do hotdogs freeze and not get hard and gross? That would be my guess, that they want to minimize the foods they serve that aren't frozen. What I want to know is why they don't have a veggie burger. They need to get on that. Except I still hate McDonalds. It would just be nice to not have to hunt down a Burger King on road trips.

^ It gives me a sad. Maybe I need to turn into a raging bitch or something and then people would remember me.

7/27/2010 9:27:52 AM

I hope so. I am not good at being a bitch.

7/27/2010 9:29:05 AM

Do you think about me as much as i think about you? And do you miss me as much as i miss you?

9/4/2010 10:17:15 AM

Yes! But I didn't know you did so I was kinda feeling like a creeper. I miss your face.

9/4/2010 10:45:22 AM

I had a dream about punchmonk last night. She was going to beat this guys ass because he was being a creeper towards me.

9/4/2010 12:06:35 PM

Are you sure it was a dream and not a memory? I can totally see her doing that.

9/4/2010 12:07:25 PM

^^That was bmel. I had a dream about zombies

9/4/2010 12:40:23 PM

What job?

1/10/2013 4:42:26 PM

where is 365 days 365 recipes challenge thread? i always read thru that and try the veggie recipes and that thread is a good motivation

1/10/2013 4:56:35 PM

What critics?

1/10/2013 4:57:52 PM

^ Am I forgetting something I said?

^^ message_topic.aspx?topic=606885 I am doing 365 again this year! But not posting about it.

^^^ A writer for a startup survey company. Pretty different from stuff I have done before but they seem cool.

1/10/2013 7:08:54 PM

did you want to get ice cream with settledown?

1/10/2013 7:19:45 PM

Of course!

I pretty much always want ice cream.

My husband ... although that likely won't be till 2027

EMCE, you will undoubtedly be doing lunch with me later, though.

[Edited on March 31, 2026 at 5:54 PM. Reason : also my husband. Though it's not so much of a want as a have to]

Word.

I was low-key sad years ago when I met Fareako, and you weren't there.

3/31/2026 6:12:14 PM

^^ A few months ago the temp here was -10 with -26 wind chill. I am very cold tolerant now though, as my blood has thickened living in PA.

^ ... are you forgetting that we did meet? I officiated Meg's wedding and I thought we shared a moment.

Do you have a favorite book?

3/31/2026 6:25:07 PM

I do remember meeting you! And we did have a moment. That night went by too quickly tho.


Will you come back to us on TWW? You, begonias, Meg, NCSUHippie, and dropdeadkate ran this place better than anyone.

3/31/2026 6:27:41 PM

I had forgotten my login. DDK posted on Facebook a few weeks ago and I tried logging in, but I had forgotten my password.

Fareako isn't my husband anymore, but oddly, a text in a group thread with him and his new wife, me and my current husband, begonias and some others inspired me to try to dig it up to look up a recipe tragedy from my past. And here we are.

^^ Whew, that's hard. My gut answer to that is always The Scarlet Letter, although I haven't read that since high school and I'm curious if my opinion would change with time. The Glass Castle also really hit me because I can identify with the fucked up family dynamic. That was a super awkward book club meeting.

My current line whenever I'm asked my favorite anything is: I'm a polyamorous bisexual. Please don't make me choose.

3/31/2026 6:41:50 PM

Do you consider yourself a pretty good cook?

3/31/2026 6:53:29 PM

Yes. Back in my 365 recipes in 365 days period I was a novice and teaching myself to cook through following recipes. I thought I was decent then, but now I am solidly confident in my kitchen skills. I am excellent at making vegetables taste delicious, in particular.
