I actually made one additional dish for the second night of the holiday that I forgot to mention in my entry; a chopped salad that included mixed lettuce and tomatoes from our farm share.
Special thanks goes out to Lauren, for being the laid-back kind of hostess who didn’t mind not knowing what I’d bring until the last minute!
Several weeks ago I entered a recipe I created into a contest run by our local paper, The Journal News. The contest hasn’t been judged yet, but they’ve been featuring some of the submissions in the paper, and today my Sweet & Sour Refrigerator Pickles were published as a lead-in to a list of farmer’s markets in the area. Too bad they left off my blog address! Even if I don’t place in the contest, it is a thrill to see the recipe in print.
I installed Lester Chan’s WP-Print plug-in this evening, so at the bottom of each post and page you’ll see a printer icon and a link to “Print this post.” Click on it, and you’ll get a printer-ready version of the recipe you’re reading. I hope you find this useful, I know I do! Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Want to Try
Enchiladas in Pumpkin Sauce: I'd make either a chicken version without cheese, or a vegetarian version with cheese and beans as a filling. Either way, the pumpkin sauce sounds delicious.
Cook to This
"Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by Smashing Pumpkins. We've been watching Whale Wars on Animal Planet, which I was surprised to hear using this track as their theme song. I think it's alienating as a opener for the show, but it rocks in every other way.
