09:53 pmms_xenoLong story short: My co-workers (all five of them) got rather a large ration of unwarranted... poop from our lovely bosses late last week. On Monday, I'd like to bring in some food for them as a consolation prize. I have to leave for work very early on Monday: around 6:30 AM, and ride Tri-Met to outer NW Portland. (Few cheap food options there, and none will be open that early anyhow.) I have about a $30 limit to spend.So after careful thought, I figure that the best no-fuss, easy-to-carry, post-Halloween treat would be a sub sandwich or two, if workable. I want to get them as late as possible Sunday night so they will still be relatively fresh by lunchtime (12:30 PM) on Monday. (I am hoping that whoever makes up the sandwiches will be willing to pack up the dressing or what-have-you on the side. I'm also hoping for a veggie sub option, since one of my co-workers doesn't eat meat.)If you can recommend a good place to pick up subs that stays open on Sunday nights, please share. Yeah, chains are fine. Got one near me. Even Fred's will do in a pinch, but I'd rather find a local place to patronize if it's good. Bonus points for a locale in N, NE Portland, or close-in Vancouver.Sincere thanks.08:42 pm October 31st, 2009exit_68To the Parents of Trick or Treaters on SE Alder St:The packets of blood are either soy sauce, hot mustard, Popeye's jam, or Vinegar in envelopes.

Haha. )08:12 pm October 31st, 2009misalady08:02 pm October 31st, 2009knastymikeFor Halloween Grinches and those who just happen to be home, what's up?I'm about to pop in "The Crow" for my own little celebration, after enjoying a day out in this gorgeous weather (yay rain and cold!) and a great big steak and potato dinner.For those who roll in later and can't stand going to bed without checking LJ, how was the party?10:13 pm October 31st, 2009cookingauronsgirlTo celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary tonight, my husband and I ate at our very favorite German restaurant. (and if you're ever in the Louisville, KY area, you should go.)The soup special was called "Hexensuppen" or "Witches Soup." It was a tomato and beef broth based soup with chunks of beef, pickled seasonal vegetables and then finished off with cream cheese to make it lovely, rich and creamy. The cream cheese calmed down the acidity of the base and the vegetables to make it just right. I could have eaten a vat of the stuff, but then I wouldn't have had room for my delicious dinner and house made dessert.Trouble is, I can't find a recipe for this soup. My google-fu has failed me at every turn. So I come here to see if someone has a similar recipe that they'd be willing to pass on, because I really, really loved that soup. Good people of
cooking, I ask you - Help?

07:26 pm October 31st, 2009natewillsheetsAny other Halloween Grinches staying home tonight?39 comments or09:43 pm October 31st, 2009cookinglancedesdieuxI'm going to prepare the potatoes for my scalloped potatoes (serving them around noon for lunch for a big crowd). I'd like to cut up the potatoes/onion right before bed, and put on first thing around 9am. What can I do to make sure the potatoes/onions don't turn brown/soggy, etc? Would it be possible to put them in the same bowl, or should I separate them?Thank you!!6 comments or06:00 pm October 31st, 2009
