succulent squid

what you need:
about 1/2 lb squid per person--precleaned, lots of legs, too. (farmer's market!!!!)
ghee or butter (to taste)
olive oil (for marinating)
generous pinches of: oregano, basil, thyme, majoram, s/p, chopped fresh parsley
head of fresh garlic

this dinner takes about ten minutes total LITERALLY:

cut squid bodies WITH SCISSORS (thank you, heather's italian mom) into approx 1 inch strips.
rinse squid in cold water.
combine squid in bowl with enough olive oil to coat and the spices. chop 1-2 fresh garlic cloves and include in bowl.
SLICE as much garlic as moves you-- i recommend at least five cloves.

heat GHEE or butter (ghee is nuttier) in a hefty skillet over high heat until it melts, throw in the sliced garlic and sautee until it begins to brown. toss in squid. allow it to cook, moving it with wooden spoon or spatula, about 1.5 minutes. you want it just the other side of raw. you're done.

serve: with simple greens salad, any basic rice... wine highly recommended.

please note: this will probably work crappily on an electric stove.

Banana Bread

Really moist, banana-y bread. Great with peanut butter on top.

NO FAIL RICE

if you're cooking basmati or jasmine rice, this recipe will become your new standard.

cubano club sangwich

take the yummiest pressed pork sandwich you can imagine. then, multiply by two.

leek and goat cheese strata

I made this based off a great receipe from my favorite vegetarian cook book as of late, "Fresh Food Fast" by Peter Berley (www.peterberley.com, it's also on Amazon—buy it, it's great!). The original used tomato, and different spices, but I gave this version a shot, and it worked! If you have an ovenproof saute pan this can be made start to finish in that, from stove top to oven. People seemed to like this a lot! It's pretty hearty.

Debbie's Chicken Cutlets

These are chicken cutlets. But they are the yummiest ever. They are my mom's recipe.

wheaty pancakes

These are from Kali. We made them with about 1/3 wheat and 2/3 white flour today (you figure out the fractions). I think that they would be great with 1/2 wheat and 1/2 white. If you are all pro-fiber, you can use 100% wheat pastery flour 'cause it's extra fluffy and soft, and you won't end up with hockey puck pancakes.

strange flava peanuts

this appetizer compliments asian foods, but also stands alone. (just like the proverbial cheese!) adjust and experiment with your own flavas.
