Make Some Soup!
But it’s not soup weather you say!? Well, this is a vichyssoise, and it’s perfectly delightful served cold!
Sorry for the re-run here, but I’m so behind in the real world right now. The Boy’s 4th Birthday is this weekend, and I’d better get started!

YUM! How to Make Cuban Sandwiches (with no sandwich press!)..
(Hey! MSCEApril people Read this please!)
For the festival this past weekend (yes, I still owe you guys my write up, I’ve been busy! more on that later) I made a batch of cuban sandwiches for our cooler. And lucky you, I documented the process, including my most interesting way of pressing them without a sandwich press. So here they are.
Cubans are a great sandwich, especially for picnicking. They have no mayo, and are good either hot or cool. They don’t require alot of ingredients, and since they are pressed, they stay together well for transport.… Read on…

One more octopus… and Making Soup!
Skitzophrenic post here, but I wanted to get one more Octopus out for Cepholopod Week.
And I also have a new instructable up, on how to make a totally easy, kid-veggie-friendly, inexpensive soup – Carrot Vichyssoise…
So here he is — “Cedric”… But I also need an opinion.. I didn’t ink him like I’ve been doing (see others) just darkened the pencil outline. Like? Not as good?
Would love some feedback on this.
So the second thing is the soup… It has some great things going for it:
1. Sounds fancy! and French! Well, it isn’t… Read on…
Cheap Eats: Pot Roast
With the economy the way it is, you may be looking for how to stretch your money a bit. Here’s a quick to prepare, easy recipe for pot roast — this will feed more than 4 people, and can cost probably less than $10, depending on your veggie choices. Leftovers make great sandwiches the next day, too, with a little horseradish mayo. Just plan ahead, because the cooking time is about 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Heat a large roasting pan in the oven or on the stove, with olive oil.
Salt and pepper your roast.

How to Make Candied Lemon Peel
I’ve never tried to make candied citrus peel, but my parents gave me a ton of lemons, so I went researching. I found tons of info on eGullet (love that site) and a neat recipe for doing a small batch in the microwave. Obviously, you can do this with most citrus peels, and my neighbor suggested that these would be great as a Lemoncello garnish!
There’s more info in the recipe, so go check that out too.
This is easy, although somewhat time consuming (you do a lot of microwaving). I recommend doing it while you’re doing other… Read on…
Tutorial: Make a Lemon Pie, or 2!
Another installment in the Dabbled Picture Recipe Series! Other recent food how-to’s:
Blueberry Pie
Oatmeal Cookies
Christmas Tree Cookies
Eggnog
This is a favorite lemon pie of mine… It’s dense, rich and very lemon-y. Lemon Chess, closer to lemon bars than lemon meringue. These make a lovely hostess gift (bake the pie in a pretty pie plate for your recipient to keep)… or make your own ‘gift set’ with lemons, the recipe, and some gear to make it (recommendations below).
