- Don’t these three Frozen Fruity Pops from body+soul magazine look awesome and so grown-up? There are recipes for honeydew-basil, pineapple-cinnamon, and mango-parsley versions. I’d go for the honeydew.
- My friend Vicki is thinking of working her way through an entire cookbook over the course of a year (a recent WSJ article talks about this trend: “Latest Web Bloggers Give Cooking The Books a Whole New Meaning”). I’d followed the Julie/Julia Project blog, and then read and enjoyed her subsequent book, so now I’m thinking: what book would I be willing to cook my way through? What cookbook would you choose?
- I got an e-mail last week that the Let’s Dish in Scarsdale is closing it’s doors. (See my previous post, “Make and Take” is Still Too Much Work.) To paraphrase their reason for closing, the people that came loved it, but not enough people came. I always feel badly when a business closes, even if it’s not one that I patronized.

I would gladly cook through Rachael Ray, especially since it means 30 minute meals!

I guess it would be Jane Brody’s Good Food Book or one of the Moosewoods or The Silver Palate or… It’s hard to pick because I’d never do all the recipes in any book.

There’s a local Mexican ice pop store called Loco Pops that has been getting rave reviews for their exotic pops like: Plum Black Currant, Guava Mint, Pomegranate Tangerine, Hibiscus, Tamarind, Mango with Chile. I do intend to sample some soon.

Oh, I am not sure I’d like to have basil or parsley in my popsicle…I think I might stick to the flavours like cola and banana and fruit punch:O)

Dara, doesn’t this look good!?
Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus
It looks delicious! Anything with the steps “Brush with more melted butter…” sounds good to me! — Dara

I’m digging the frozen fruit pops recipes in name, but somehow I never manage to eat them. They languish in my freezer forever. Recently Lewin and I were mixing up strawberries, kiwis, mint and lemon juice, which might also make a nice pop.
I recently picked up the Julie/Julia book because it was on the discount rack at Borders. I totally enjoyed it. I believe they are making it into a movie?
I would say I would cook my way through Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook, but I think I’d rather just eat at Les Halles.
