Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

2 things I always requested from her around my birthday, though they don't go together AT. ALL. Homemade creamy wild rice soup and her pecan pie. My gosh, so wonderful.

Tiramisu is always nice to please a crowd! Or piping hot, fresh popovers with a hearty meal.

Pickle Sickle, Anyone?

Of course, this is the SAME friend who actually tried that kool-aid pickle thing that was the hot topic some months ago, and willingly ate those too...so...

Pickle Sickle, Anyone?

I HAVE TRIED THEM! My dear friend and downstairs neighbor recently had a baby, and during her pregnancy, her partner went online and ordered her a case of these (in what would appear to be a halfhearted attempt to play into the old 'you're pregnant so will likely want to eat weird things' idea). She raved about them and wouldn't quit pushing them on me until I tried one, and lo, with her face grinning at me in wild anticipation of my first crunchy, yellowish-green frozen bite, I was instantly horrified. Yeah, it's pickly. It's ice cold. It's salty, vinegary, hard as a rock, with absolutely no hint of sweetness. I really wanted to support her love of them, but I just couldn't. They ARE as gross as they seem. Kids would probably totally love them just for the shock value. However, I must say this -the company apparently kicks butt, because they later sent her a whole second case and a t-shirt for FREE, along with a nice thank-you letter for their first purchase. You certainly don't see that... well, ever!

Cook the Book: 'The Tex-Mex Cookbook'

Oh my gosh - a favorite from my childhood that mom used to make once in a great while. Dried beef rolled up with cream cheese, sliced into bites and stabbed with a green olive and a toothpick. TOO GOOD!

Cook the Book: 'The Food You Crave'

Homemade bread and butter pickles (okay, NOT so healthy on the sodium end, but otherwise not too bad!) or a big bowl of plain, nutty wild rice. Yum!

Indeed, made a lovely pumpkin cake of hers, complete with 2 bundt cakes layered with their bottoms together, an orange glaze, and chocolate leaves! Putzy, but worth it!
