filkertomSigh. Another wonderful OVFF in the books. Hugs, friends, music, just a grand ol' time. And now I sleep through tomorrow, and get back to stuff on Wednesday. :) There will be music finished and sent off, shopping for French onion soup makings, a thorough cleaning of the kitchen, and stuff attended to in anticipation of WindyCon and TomBoat II: This Time We'll Get It Recorded Properly Dang It.
What's your week looking like?

It was nice to see you again. Also, the tomboat oneshot was great and I look forward to hearing the 2011 version.
Good news!

Date: 2011-10-25 12:56 am (UTC)I have not. I do have sherry for the recipe I'm using. America's Test Kitchen has two killer recipes. The one I'm going to try soon uses a slow cooker, and jumpstarts the caramelization of the onions with a little soy sauce and apple butter. The other sticks the onions in the oven for an hour and a half, followed by an hour on the stovetop. Deep, deep flavor in both cases, supposedly.

Date: 2011-10-25 12:59 am (UTC)Your sweetie could, seriously, do what I do -- visit Dad in Florida in February. Goodness knows Pennsylvania is not exactly the land of mild winter weather. And don't forget Skype with video -- it does help.

Date: 2011-10-25 01:14 am (UTC)I've still never performed, but I felt like if the right leader had come in, and I felt ready, I could have. And that was awesome. So thanks for running a great room.
Did things feel any different to you this year?

Date: 2011-10-25 01:19 am (UTC)Right now, I predict a lot of knitting, since I just came up with a new pattern for a thing people seem to like.
Link goes to the prototype. I've since obtained an absolutely perfect "slime green" to make more... (pics to follow once I get one done in that color)

Date: 2011-10-25 04:06 am (UTC)Using a bit of beer in the oven technique gives you a different deep, deep flavor that's great for dipping sandwiches in.
And once again America's Test Kitchen has the best recipes for this kind of thing. I'm glad they're around. Used to cook up at _least_ two recipes from every issue when I was cooking and was only disappointed once.
