Around the Web in Foodie Posts: September & October

Here is the long list of foodie posts I've enjoyed lately--

September:

• That fabulous salad j.bradley borrowed from Sitti
• A beautiful end of summer treat
• A Ravioli Thells will love
• Debating the Food Police--with possible upsetting consequences for foodies
• It's all about the presentation
• Basic Kitchen Tools
• Gorgeous Lemony Pastries that I haven't gotten up the courage to ruin (I struggle with pastry patience)
• A Top Chef Rundown (They are pretty on with their top four--those are mine)
• A feature on Vegetarian recipes (really just a glorified recipe list)
• CFM's market recipes page always tickles my fancy. . .

October:

• In honor of dining in: a crepe post
• A cool look at solar powered kitchens
• A fun twist on a birthday favorite
• Feminist Food-storage
• A plum tart (Kel is a friend and former-roommate who was a guinea pig in many of my college food experiments--she is very brave, and a great cook!)
• A 50-cent interview to prep you for the fair
• Halloween Party Food
• A way to prep your kitchen for the holiday season
• And though not a blog, it is very nice to mention that Guglehupf is now serving dinner on the weekends (I loved the Schnitzel and the Beef short ribs with potato dumplings, though the desserts were also amazing--try the apple tart--wow!)

Magic!!

Are you avoiding using your Crockpot because it's a pain to clean after you've been cooking the goodness for 8 plus hours??

Well... avoid no more! Crockpot clean up is a breeze now with Crockpot liners from Reynolds.

Here's some chili I cooked in the crockpot for over 10 hours.

This is what the Crockpot looked like after I took the liner out... I just had to wipe it out with a damp paper towel!!

Brilliant I tell you!! Brilliant!
