You're very welcome! The best things about the beer bread are the versatility and simplicity that still result in a hot, tasty loaf.

I need to remember to post from work tomorrow, where I have stashed the link to 25 free cookbooks.

I made cheesecake on Sunday. Monday, Mister informs me that something is wrong with it, and that I probably shouldn't eat any. When I offer to toss it and make another, he tells me that he hates to see food go to waste, so he will make the sacrifice and eat it. Later, I open the refrigerator and find a big note on the cheesecake warning that it contains toxins and is not safe to eat (but that it must remain refrigerated).

This ranks right up there on the cuteness scale with the times that he slips "a puppy" in to the middle of the grocery list.

One of my favorite appetizers is goat cheese on endive. Simple and yummy.

Dhania Chatni (Corriander Chutney
Kheera Raita (Shredded Cucumbers in Mint Yogurt)
Alloo Barbatti Charchari (Char Flavored Curried Potatoes and Green Beans)
Pitlai (Madras Fiery Eggplant, Lentil and Chili Stew)
Obla Chawal (Rice)

I had fun shopping for some of these ingredients at an Indian grocery store this morning. I've cooked Indian style before, but have not made this particular potato dish nor the eggplant. Hope they turn out well. It's my contribution to going veg with apretty.

Lots of black pepper
3 tablespoons of citrus soy sauce
1 cup of Trader Joe's low sodium veggie broth
1 cup of the frozen, precooked shrimps from costco

Saute onions first, carmelizing them. Then add the cabbage and let it wilt down a bit then add the broth, seasonings and shrimp. I didn't cook it too long, because I like it a little crisp.

This was really good, but Kat won't eat it. So, there's plenty left for tomorrow's lunch too.

I had to read this recipe three times because the first two times, I SWORE you said to cone the cabbage. I was actually trying to imagine the procedure for that.

Still waiting for you to attempt.

I rarely make the same stew twice simply because I never have the same ingredients. LOL I have a head of cabbage that needs to be used so here is what I'm doing with it.

Arwen's Mock Irish Dinner

1 lb stew meat, thawed
1 can Ro-Tel Original Recipe Tomatoes and Green Chiles
1/2 can red wine ( I used a merlot today)
1 can of water
1 pckg Beefy Onion Soup (dissolved in the can of water)
1 TBS lemon juice
1 tsp black pepper

While meat is thawing, combine other ingredients in crockpot on low. Add meat and cover. Cook for 4-6 hours. At 45 minutes before I want to eat, I'm going to quarter the cabbage and add the wedges. If I really wanted this to be Irish stew, I'd go to the store and get potatoes.

Yeah. That's so not happening.

NOTE In an effort to cut down on dishes used and therefore water to wash them, I use the can from the tomatoes as my measuring tool. So a 1/2 can of wine means pour the wine in the can.

Arwen, I have to say that I was pleased with the results of everything except for the eggplant lentil dish. The flavor wasn't a fiery as I hoped for. But overall it was good! There was plenty of food for extra guests. I always make a lot. Come on by!
Been reading your posts in this thread, looks like you like to cook too.

Cooking for me is a way to show my love for my friends as well as express my creativity in tangible (if not long-lasting) ways.
