To Try Tuesday--On Tuesday!!!

Imagine that, on Tuesday!


Before I forget, I want to announce October's Family Recipes. Autumn into the holidays is my favorite time of year--culinarily and otherwise--so I know I have loads of family recipes to choose from and I bet you do too. As always, make a recipe from someone in your family that has memories for you (it can be an in law, a grandparent, a child, a cousin, you name it) and tell us about the recipe and the memories. It can even be your recipe if it has strong associations with your family and you tell us about them (for example, this post about cake and my mother in law). Send me an email with the links to the post and to your blog, at thespicedlife AT gmail DOT com. Also, do not forget to include our badge in your post, pictured above. I will grab a picture from your post for the round up.

Anyway, To Try Tuesday....

Now that fall is here, my thoughts have turned away from seafood. But then I saw these Pan Seared Scallops With Cider Sauce (look under recent posts--for some reason I cannot link to the individual post) at Debi Shawcross's website. With apple cider and maple syrup, these qualify as autumnal for sure!

Do you guys read Cookstr? Just when I thought I had maxed out on recipes being delivered to my email box, I discovered Cookstr. I really like their taste in recipes--I am frequently copying down recipes that they send me, like this Thai Grilled Prawns with Emerald Noodles by Joey Altman. This was sent to me a bit back, I never got around to making it, but now I won't lose it at least!

Now technically I have the cookbook this next recipe is from--but seeing the recipe completed on The Colors Of Indian Cooking will hopefully give me the courage to try to make this kind of chaat myself! I even already have the puffed rice!

I could probably link to use real butter every single Tuesday and you would find something worth making--and by now you all know it. But hey, this post is not just for you, it is also for me to remember what I want to try--and what I want to try is this Apple Galette--with the grainy topping. It's like a crumble or crisp topped galette and looks amazing.

You all know I love scones. You also all know that the scones I ove are hardly healthy. Which is why when I saw these Whole Wheat Pumpkin Scones at A Dash Of Sass I knew I would be trying them. Hopefully soon.
