Cynthia's Corner: Warm Up with Soups and Stews!

As I was going through some old cookbooks a few weeks ago, I came across a soup recipe that sounded good, and yes, perfect for this weather. What else would you think about a soup called "Storm Soup"?

Right about now, I would like to be on a desert island -- make that a WARM desert island. As I sit here, hugging my cup of black raspberry herbal tea, I cannot help but shiver. Boy, do I hate being cold! Cold weather seems to bring back some rather frigid memories...

But then, cold weather also brings back some wonderful memories. It reminds me of special types of foods: stews, soups and heavier meals that stick to your ribs and all the cold portions of one's body.

Typical Beer Misconceptions


The darker it is the stronger it is. Many people think that the darker the beer the stronger it is and therefore you will get drunk faster. This could not be farther from the truth. In fact, Guinness Stout is typically in the lower 4% abv range. Just about the same (or lower) as many typical American lagers.

Canadian beer is really potent. Although it is typically higher in alcohol content than most of their American counterparts, the difference is not a great one. Most Canadian beers start in the high 4% to low 5% abv range. Most typical American lagers are in the mid 4% range.

Pan Roasted Potatoes


Ingredients:

2 large Idaho Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 stick unsalted butter
Salt and Pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
2 tbs. Chives, chopped
1 tbsp. parsley, chopped

Procedure:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

You’ll need a 9-inch cast iron pan or saute pan that has an ovenproof handle. Melt 1 tbsp. of the butter in the pan. Remove from stove. Line the bottom of the pan with sliced potatoes, slightly overlapping them.

Melt the remaining butter in your microwave. Lightly season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then a sprinkle of Parmesan, chives and parsley. Drizzle with a touch of the melted butter and repeat these steps until you’ve used up your potatoes, about five layers.

Cover the skillet with foil and place in your oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking for about 25-30 more minutes. Test for tenderness with a fork and remove from oven if done.

To serve, place a dish over the pan and invert the pan. You’ll have a beautifully browned mound of yummy potatoes. Garnish with a little fresh chopped parsley and serve.
