But, here’s a cool soup recipe for you — check out the pics below, and go here for the full recipe! How to Make Carrot…

(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.

-Cuban Bread (available at my local…

I wasn’t going to post this yet, as it’s part of a swap package I’m doing for this round of Sweet Goodness Swaps, but since I accidentally leaked it to my swap partner already, I figured I’d share it with all you guys as well. I wrote this up as an instructable – go vote for it in the Sweet Treats Contest! Pretty Please?

It’s got some good hints for working with chocolate, and ideas for rescuing chocolate projects, too!

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 really french in origin, but was invented…

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.

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 kitchen chores or cooking.

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).
