Help!

By Anonymous
Alright, someone gimme some help.
Ernie and I will have been married for six years on Friday. The original plan was to get take out and stay in, but I don't want take out. I sort of want to cook.
But I have no freaking clue what I want to make. Anyone want to offer any suggestions (in the form of recipes -- including dessert)? Remember that I actually do have to work all day on Friday, so it's going to be an after-work cooking thing, although I can do prep stuff the day before.
Thanks.

    Well, for dessert, I'd do the Triple Chocolate Cake. What's better than chocolate? It's really easy, and it only takes 5 ingredients. I've posted the recipe on here before, but let me know if you can't find it, and I'll post it again.

    Geoff and I are going to be trying a couple of new recipes this week, from "The Six O'Clock Scramble" by Aviva Goldfarb. I'll let you know what turns out well.

    Oh, I know that recipe well. :) Made that cake a few weeks ago for Sylvia's birthday.

    We have already been talking about the merits of tuna vs. halibut, etc., but I definitely think he needs a special ice cream for dessert...

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

tomato & corn cobbler

By gwen
This is a delicious late summer dinner , and a one-pot meal at that, if you're willing to turn on your oven. I tweaked a lot of the amounts in the original recipe — the biscuits get really puffy and there weren't enough veggies the way it was written imo. Also for the record, I've tried adding zucchini to this but I don't recommend. INGREDIENTS    3 pints  cherry tomatoes, not cut, any kind (you can also chop big tomatoes in here but take out the pulp and seeds so it doesn't get too watery) 6   ears' worth of fresh corn kernels 1   bunch green onions whites and greens, chopped handful of fresh basil, chopped For the biscuits: 1½   cups  AP  flour 2 1/2   teaspoons   baking powder 3/4   cup   shredded cheddar or swiss cheese, or probably anything a little sharp is fine 3/4   cup  milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice (recipe calls for  buttermilk but I haven't been able to tell a difference) ⅓   cup ...
