Weekend (so far) by the numbers

[magid]

5.5 pints of mango cranberry jam
2 games of Carcassonne Hunters and Gatherers (won one)
3 half-pints of Key lime curd (not sure it worked, but even if the texture is off, it tastes good :-)
2 trays of roasted veggies (onion, red pepper, potato, with thyme; onion, carrot, potato, sweet potato, parsnip, with rosemary)
1 new friend on LJ
105 degree fever now lowered in a friend's baby (still hoping the port's not infected, b"h)
1 book finished (reread Watership Down)
1 book still (actively) in progress (If on a Winter's Night a Traveller)
2 splurges at the supermarket (a huge Asian pear, and something I'd not seen before: a clamshell container (think grape tomatoes) of tiny ripe yellow, orange, and red bell peppers - too cute to pass up, at least once.)

Yummy. All gone far too quickly :-)

2045 addendum: 6 popovers

*taptaptap* i'm still waiting for a popover delivery...

[magid.livejournal.com]

Due to the delicate nature of popovers, I'd think it would be more likely that Bitty delivery would result in more popovers here :-).

well, you just be careful girl, 'cause i just may be driving past you tomorrow on my way to cbunnell's, and i'd expect my popovers warm and fresh!

Now, would that be when I'm likely to be at the Diesel? *innocent smile*

And, just in case, what do you like to have with your popovers?

just may be, just may be...

And, just in case, what do you like to have with your popovers?
years of living in amherst brainwashed me into a firm belief that popovers are associated with apple butter.
(i like most anything, really. Judie's even serves beef stew in a popover and wow, good!)


(in all seriousness, i'm not certain i'll be heading that way tomorrow, because i hate parking and i haven't checked to see whether it's a new buffy. but if i do, you're welcome to a lift :)

Re: popping on over

Hrm. I don't have any apple butter currently. I do have a variety of jams (some more solid than others), honey, molasses, maple syrup, and butter, though.

Beef stew in a popover: I think Hrafn mentioned having a savory dinner with a popover variation as the base. Sounded good to me.
(Latest weird popover variation thought: use sesame oil, and add sesame seeds and scallions to the batter. I could have a lot of fun with this...)

Thanks for the ride offer; I'll be carfull tomorrow (unless something unpleasant happens), so won't be needing one (I hope.).

i do have an (unopened) jar of apple butter, from TJ's. not sure whether it's kosher; would have to look.
and heck, popover's are so good that just butter is fine :)

savory dinners w/popovers

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Not a popover variant, actual popovers. The stuff for inside/on top is: tuna cooked with cream of celery/mushroom/etc. and green peas :) Yum.

I imagine beef stew would be really yummy; er, I'm drawing a blank on the name for it, something pudding, that's British, and cooked in the drippings from a roast beef. Mmm *drools* Ah-ha - Yorkshire pudding! which is basically a popover batter. Just dropped free-form into the pan, no neat little round things.

Re: savory dinners w/popovers

Mmmm... Yorkshire pudding. My mom would make it about once a year, in a big 9 x 13 pan, when she made some roast or another. There were never leftovers...

That's it, pretend you're not kosher for two hours and we'll bring you to Judie's, where you'll have too many Amazing Popovers from which to choose.

Wait. Maybe you're better off this way; you don't have to make up your mind which one to get. Stick with that whole kosher thing. Makes life less complicated.

I have a bad enough time making up my mind what to order in one of the dozen kosher restaurants in metro Boston, and I've been in all of them a bunch of times already, so perhaps we're saved from the Evening of Indecision this way.

Hm... What flavors are on the menu? Perhaps I can play with popover variants at home...
Popover party... (wouldn't that be a great name for a political party? :-)

Re: savory dinners w/popovers

Evening of Indecision

Then thankfully the Movenpick isn't kosher, eh?

What flavors are on the menu?

she doesn't really change the popover flavors themselves (she firmly believes that popovers are the perfect food in and of themselves, and there's nothing you can't do with them), but usually just fills them (they're extra-large popovers) with various items.

Her default is a popover with apple butter on the side. Hence, years of conditioning.
There's also dessert-like items, say filling it with an ice cream sundae, or cooked fruit, etc.

For savory ones, often it's some kind of thick soup or stew (slinkr's exgf spent her time in Japan dreaming about Judie's vegetarian-stuffed popover), or stir-fry. I wonder if her menu is on-line...

Dammit, now I'm jonesing like there's no tomorrow. Humph. Well, I brought bubblebabble to Judie's, and he now has a Popover Problem. and in all his years in Amherst, grendelgongon claimed to hate Judie's. We dragged him in there once and made him have a popover, and Now He Gets It. (he'd never ever ordered a popover there!)

wouldn't that be a great name for a political party?

I once considered running for president on a Cookies For All! platform, but I was too young. And also, according to cbunnell, too short. He should talk.

OK, Popover Guru, how long do you think popovers would still be good after exiting the oven? Perhaps I should try to make some for tomorrow, if you think they'd survive leaving my house and going to Queue's, and possibly waiting for people to show up...
Or another time, when things are at my house, perhaps (in lieu of a potluck, snacks of popovers).

*shrug* I just eat 'em. ;)

I say you provide the popovers, and everyone else brings their favorite jam/butter/nutella/etc. to share. (kosher, of course, which is easier when we're talking about non-meat jarred items, yes?)
