But I love mashed potatoes, have to save them for special occasions or I'd have to stay home dressed in a blanket with hole for head. That much.<br /><br />Anyway, I updated the post to include a couple of pics of kielbasa in its primeval state. You bet it's a sausage.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-1009619915508965192012-10-10T06:16:13.220-04:002012-10-10T06:16:13.220-04:00Just so you know, tiffany rose, recently I've ...Just so you know, tiffany rose, recently I've seen small individual packaged kielbasa in our supermarket.

I also live in a building where I must rely on someone else to turn on the heat, though we don't have AC round these parts. Clearly it's time for warming comfort food and drink - I love this time of year! And I love your reasoning for baked potatatoes. No dishes seems like a perfect reason for choosing a potato style to me. ajrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900058504704094009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-38666254616678773532012-10-08T20:48:18.541-04:002012-10-08T20:48:18.541-04:00Hi, Lane, I have the craziest recipe for potato sa...Hi, Lane, I have the craziest recipe for potato salad, the secret ingredient is sweet pickle relish or failing that sweet pickle juice! and yet for some reason, it works, tastes like a picnic without the ants.<br /><br />I have actually made cassoulet twice in my life, each time I've had leftover goose, the little dried beans from France, lots of leftover gravy from the goose... it was like one of those astronomical coincidences you read about that won't happen again for hundreds of years. I mean, you can't shop for the ingredients, they have to happen. <br /><br />I love Julia's recipe for baked beans. Um, I feel weird saying this to a state-o'-Mainer, but there you are. I swear there are people on Nantucket who invite us just to ask me to cook.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-86384743382086827092012-10-08T20:21:40.767-04:002012-10-08T20:21:40.767-04:00Like a quick cassoulet-- looks yummy.

We have moved into the soups and casseroles as well to ward off the chill; chicken and wild rice soup with watercress, chorizo and potato soup with kale etc. Now a nice fire, some red wine so it's not chilled. Julia put vermouth into her potato salad ,too.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175229460841379583noreply@blogger.com
