Another opening, another show

Only one more day until the start of the Fall season for all Ninecooks cooking groups.

First up, the Family Cooking Group takes on pasta sauces. Then The #1 Cooking Group takes the cake — well, two cakes, actually. Next, our World Cuisines Cooking Group travels to Senegal for a taste of West African cooking. And the Wednesday Lunch Group travels to the local farmstand for a supply of butternut squash, the key ingredient in two potluck vegetarian stew dishes.

Two weeks prior to cooking day, each group receives a shopping list, parcelled out so everyone brings a share of the groceries. I've stocked the pantry with spices, flours, sugar and salt. The herb garden still promises plenty of fresh herbs, though the cold snap may do in the basil. The knives are sharp and the stove's got gas.

So, let's get cooking!

Lydia! What a great fall lineup; I can hardly wait to read about all these cooks' adventures.
BTW, my house is fragrant with Roasted Tomatoes a la Lydia...with my garden's garlic and thyme.

Marcia, I'm roasting tomatoes right now, too! Anyone who's lucky enough to be driving along the road between your house and mine is in for a treat -- the aroma is amazing.

Let me just say this now - "Let them Eat Cake!" I promise I won't do that on Saturday... Well, I'll try not to say it -- I definitely promise not wear my Marie Antoinette costume.
