Care to share? I have never made Thai peanut sauce.

I sure will... just as soon as I make it... *laughs* I really don't know the amounts for it... I just get out a bowl and start pouring stuff in... so I am going to have to make it to get the measurements.

Great thread, Sun. I have been reading all of the posts. I also confess that I have learned a lot from the Food channels. There was talk about acorn and I believe butternut squash. One thing that I add to mine besides butter and brown sugar is a small amount of maple syrup. Very good that way.
Over the holiday, I attempted once again to make an omelette. On Ina Garten, (The Barefoot Contessa's) show, she had a guest who was famous for his omelettes demonstrate how he does his. He actually flipped the egg mixture once it was cooked on one side, up in the air, and CAUGHT it!. Out of my league, so, I do not own an omelette skillet, I gave this a try. I got another same size skillet, and turned it upside down and landed in the other skillet!. Success! It was fantastic! I added bacon, green onions, and grated cheddar cheese. Folded it in half. Put slices of avocado and salsa on top. Does anyone have any omelette suggestions or success stories?
Is it just me, or does sometimes the background music they play while one of these chefs is cooking or stirring, sound like the music they play on "porno" films. Not that I watch a lot of those.

goat cheese, capers, chives and tomato....do it! But rinse the capers before you use them, rather briny if you don't.

Hi Dante! Welcome!

Maple syrup is a good idea for the squash, thank you.

Nice work on learning to flip the omelettes. This is something that I did pretty much every day this summer when I decided to work at a Country Club. Never made so many omelettes before. So when I would have 4, 5 or 6 going at one time, the only way to produce was to flip them. For myself I prefer the omelette soft so its a very gentle flip and risks breaking. Once flipped however I place the fillings in the omelette and if there is going to be cheese then it goes under the broiler, I get the cheese melting and then fold.

For filling I personally like roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, spinach and goat cheese. Then variations on that including artichoke hearts. If I can get baby artichokes I will make my own.

The very active staff favors egg white omelettes with many variations of vegetables and cheese. Spinach, chopped turkey, jalepeno, and raw onion was popular this summer.

Interestingly, anything that I like on a pizza I like in an omelette.

Well.... maybe. And maybe I will just whine and moan about how the cooking broth makes me drool. But of course, I first have to go to the grocery store because even though I was all excited about it before, I did have to stop and eat supper; then a really cold wind came up for a while, the kind that whistles right through your jacket... and I kinda lost some momentum there. *sheepish look*

HA!! You got that backwards! *I* get to dress in layers, and wear soft fuzzy cozy clothes, and long-sleeved tshirts. I'm the lucky one.

We're a ways away from this yet. And then I will be even more layered up, because I will be *ta-daaa!* The Girl In the Snowglobe!

*wanders out singing* ~...winter is coming the goose is getting fat; please put a penny in the old man's hat...~

We are polar opposites my friend..I had enough of that cold snowy stuff. Bring on the heat!

The less clothing the better. I want sunshine on my skin. Don't care how hot it gets. Bring it.

Hey I like that song

*makes warding signs with fingers* Noooo heat, nononono! Autumn, Winter, Spring--the livable seasons!

I love that old song too, but I just realized I was singing "winter is coming" and the real words are "Christmas is coming". Ah well, I've already moved on to Solstice songs. Youtube is my friend.
