Grandma Clark's Salad
1 bar (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (20oz) crushed pineapple (NOT drained)
1 box (6oz) jello (or two 3oz boxes so you can mix/match flavors)
1 jar maraschino cherries, drained, each cherry cut in half
1 cup diced celery
1 cup walnuts (shelled) [optional]
1 carton (8oz or part of a 16oz) Cool Whip (thawed)
In a medium sauce pan, bring pineapple with juice to full boil, stirring often.
Remove from heat, add jello, stir until dissolved.
Add softened cream cheese, stir until as smooth as you want it to be (
I do not mind a few chunks of cream cheese, it adds character).
Allow to cool (I usually dice the celery and cut the cherries into
halves while cooling).
Stir cherries, celery, and nuts (optional) into mixture.
Cool to room temperature.
Fold in cool whip until just mixed. (If the mixture is hot, the cool
whip will melt, and the texture will be ruined. Ditto for
over-stirring after the cool whip is mixed in.)
Spread into 9 x 13 cake pan.
Cover and refrigerate.
Notes:
Grandma Clark made two versions. One was made with lime jello and red
maraschino cherries. The other was made with red (e.g., strawberry)
jello and green (mint) cherries. I always preferred the red
maraschino cherries, so I always made that version, but with varying
flavors of jello.
Maraschino cherries around here come in two sizes of jars, small and
medium. I use the larger jar, but you can eyeball how many cherries
you want in your salad. I think more is better.
I do not actually measure the celery, I just dice celery and stir it
in until it looks right to me.
Grandma Clark always used walnuts, I do not usually add nuts. If you
do use nuts, be extra careful to not include any shell fragments. No
one wants to bite down on a shell.
You could vary the type of nuts used. For example, pecans would give
it a different taste and texture.
You can vary the amount of Cool Whip to vary the texture. Less Cool
Whip gives you a denser salad. More Cool Whip gives you more of a
"chiffon" salad.

1 quart vegetable stock
1 pound baby carrots
3 turnips, peeled and diced
6 salad potatoes, coarse chopped
2 sweet onions, coarse chopped
Combine ingredients in slow cooker, cook on high for two hours, then low for four hours.
The onions and turnips give it plenty of flavor without adding any other seasonings, but of course, you can always season it to your own taste.

Game Changer IPA
http://www.aperfectpint.net/blog.php/?p=2873
We went to Buffalo Wild Wings last night to watch the first half of the NFL season opener, since we did not get the game at home because Time Warner and the local NBC affiliate will not resolve their differences.
I had the Game Changer IPA (not to be confused with products with the same name from other breweries).
A very drinkable beer, but not what I would call an IPA.
Subtle toasty malt with a hint of bitterness. A good balanced ale, but not a great beer.
A session beer. And it went well with the lemon pepper dry rub traditional wings.

Sloppy Bills
Chop one sweet onion, saute in olive oil until golden brown.
Add one pound ground turkey, cook until browned.
Add one can diced tomatoes.
Simmer meat mixture.
Separately, fry one can tomato paste in olive oil, only takes a few minutes.
Add fried paste to meat mixture.
Add one teaspoon salt-free Penzey's spice mix, your choice.
Simmer until texture is just right.
Serve on fresh-baked rolls, if you can get them.
Not as good as 80/20 beef.

Rutabaga
I diced a large rutabaga and roasted it on a cookie sheet in the oven until browned.
Then I simmered it in giblet water from the previous day's roast chicken.
Best rutabaga I have had yet.

Very much looking forward to eating there.
No way can I eat all the things I want to try in one trip.
Fabulous menu, and looks like a very interesting beer/whiskey selection.
