Another treat from Jinx and Judy - cocktail franks! This photo is from a Flickr, and I could not find anything closer. What I really wanted to find was a photo of a jar of cocktail franks, as I've never encountered one - anyone have a photo of that? I return from the conference today, but in the meantime, from the chapter Happiness is a Dry Martini: Ferocious Franks 3 jars cocktail franks 1 1/2 bottles tomato catsup 1/4 cup sugar Liberal dashes red and black pepper 1/8 tsp. salt 1/4 of a seeded lemon, diced fine 1/2 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. ground coriander 1/8 tsp. paprika 1/8 tsp. saffron 1/4 tsp. ginger Mix all ingredients except the franks and simmer for 15 minutes. Plop either the small cocktail franks or regular ones sliced in 1/inch pieces into this sauce and let them wallow awhile until warm. Provide guests with long Japanese skewers or toothpicks for spearing. This is better than the vintage conundrum I come across often of serving little franks in grape jelly. I've tasted ok versions of that when mixed with BBQ sauce, but really - how did people think of these things? And why? Can't wait to tell you about all the great new YA and romance books I'm finding out about at this conference!

I was born in Delaware, but after 20-some years of living in southern New England, I consider myself a bonafide East Coaster: I’ve dug a hole in the sand for a clam bake, clutched an iced coffee in the middle of winter, and evaded enough potholes to earn a lifetime of free lobster rolls. I love the fall and the warm tones it paints the treeline and, as a Rhode Island resident, I have a visceral reaction when I’m too far from open water.

The Pillsbury Harvest Time Cook Book printed in 1980 has been one of my favorite of the Pillsbury booklets. As you can see, my copy is quite worn. It has a nice selection of recipes. Ranging from Family meals to Fall Baking, Harvest Foods, recipes using fall fruits and vegetables to Lunchbox and after school snacks. There is something for everyone in here. I have seen this book at several book sales so keep a eye out for it. Sue and I have made several different recipes from it and maybe we will inspire you to try some of them, listed below. Chicken Vegetable Stew Refrigerator Cucumber Pickles Carrot Bread Oriental Green Beans Quick Crescent Cinnamon Crispies
