Post #33 - October 8th, 2010, 11:15 amOK, not to drive everyone crazy, but I think I can pull off cooking Sunday late evening.
So, if people haven't already completed cooking their portions, I'd love to join you for both
Food sharing and dinner.
Let me know what works.
Thanks.

Post #34 - October 8th, 2010, 11:39 amI have not cooked yet, so it's no problem by me. I think I'm doing a beef/barley/leek soup, although the warm temps for the weekend don't speak "soup" to me.-Mary

Post #35 - October 8th, 2010, 12:55 pmHI,
Jygach is back in. GP, if you change your mind and go in a different direction, that's ok, too.
I will call right now to see if we can duck on the menu.
I reserved for 14 people. I also ordered three whole ducks stuffed with fruit for $27 each. I had considered asking for more until I heard the price. If we were to order more (or less), I have to advise them today.
Regards,Cathy2

We're sad to be missing out on the Smak Taking and the food exchanging. Sorry for the late notice.

Cookie Monster - in!
RAB+REB - so sorry!
Everyone in the exchange is responsible for eight portions.
I might change my offering to James Beard's Tomato Pie. I bought 20 pounds of some of the last tomatoes. I can make Sinatra's sausage and peppers next month.

Post #41 - October 9th, 2010, 7:34 amGah, I found out that I'll have to be in the far north suburbs through 8pm Monday so I won't be able to make it after all. I was really looking forward to this too! My apologies for having to bow out but I look forward to reading all about the wonderful dishes being swapped!

Post #48 - October 11th, 2010, 9:27 pmOne of my "new" favorite things about fall--the re-emergence of the SHFE!! So good to see everyone again and to share in such a wonderful meal. From the crispy potato pancakes, to the pierogie (mushroom/sauerkraut was my favorite), to the glorious duck (one perfect bite: a bit of duck, a bit of skin, a touch of sauerkraut all atop chunky mashed potato!!) to the lovely ending of blintzes unlike any my mother ever made--Smak Tak is truly a neighborhood treasure and I will be back.
It's a beautiful thing--the porch doors are open, a cool breeze is gently blowing and my freezer is full of delicious meals for the next few weeks. Thanks LTH!!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kington

Post #49 - October 12th, 2010, 8:22 amIt was great seeing everyone last might. Looking forward to trying all the food. The challenge is trying not to taste all of them on the same day.
Cathy - I've already been nibbling on your pie for breakfast and it is delicious. I looked it up and the recipes I read used biscuit dough for the crust, but yours appears to be pie crust. Either ways, would love to have your recipe.

Post #50 - October 12th, 2010, 8:32 amHI,
Any thought of a tomato pie was influenced by this Ruth Reichl piece.
It is a biscuit dough, not quite pie crust.
I have added parsley and other times dill to the dough. Yesterday I had no fresh herbs on hand.
I have used feta cheese, a combo of cheddar and swiss, though what you have is cheddar all the way.
It's is pretty versatile.

Post #51 - October 12th, 2010, 9:57 amIt was great to get together, and Smak Tak was great as always (especially the mushroom sauerkraut pierogies). But I'd never had duck there - thanks to C2 for pre-ordering three ducks. Fall-apart tender, and perfumed with the apricot and prune stuffing, it was the second best thing all night (first was the company).
