We had a wonderful quick soup for dinner last night. A friend from work discovered the recipe a few weeks ago and has been encouraging me to try it. I am glad we did, It was delicious, quick, inexpensive, and filling.<br />
<br />
Black Bean Stew<br />
<br />
Olive Oil<br />
1 Medium Onion, chopped<br />
4 or 5 garlic cloves, chopped<br />
2 tsp ground cumin<br />
4.5 oz can chopped green chilies<br />
3 cans black beans rinsed and drained <br />
2 cans diced tomatoes (I love the <a href="http://muirglen.elsstore.com/view/product/?id=21359&cid=1381">Muir Glen no salt added</a>)<br />
1 cup veggie broth or water<br />
3/4 tsp salt<br />
10 oz frozen corn<br />
<br />
Remove corn from the freezer so it can begin to thaw.<br />
Cook the onions in some olive oil over medium heat for 5 or 6 minutes.<br />
Add garlic and cumin, cook about 2 minutes.<br />
Add beans, cans of tomatoes, chilies, salt, and water or broth.<br />
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 20 to 25 minutes<br />
Remove 2 to 3 cups of the stew and puree with your blender, food processor, or immersion blender.<br />
Add the puree back to the stew, and add corn.<br />
Simmer about 5 more minutes.<br />
Garnish with chopped green onions, sour cream, or cheese.<br />
<br />

I have been a bit under the weather this week. I haven't listed anything new at the shop either, but I did just finish up a very fun necklace. And I have several things that are ready to list, but all I want to do right now is get back in my jammies, curl up with my tissues and orange juice, and watch old movies.<br />
<br />
Something that does make me feel a bit better is that <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5247787">starvingartistdsgns</a> was kind enough to include one of my collages in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=29235"><span style="font-style: italic;">this lovely yet eerie treasury</span>. </a> Be sure to check it out before it ends on Saturday afternoon.<br />

Homemade pizza in thirty minutes.<br />
1.Roll out dough (<a href="http://dandyapple.blogspot.com/2008/10/life-changing-recipe.html">see this post about my always ready dough supply)</a><br />
2.Make "sauce" A splash of olive oil, herbs, a dash of kosher salt, and crushed garlic<br />
3.Place dough on cornmeal sprinkled stone and brush with oil mixture. Pre-bake crust for about 10 minutes. I like a nice thick crust. A thinner crust might not need any pre-baking.<br />
4.Watch it get all puffy<br />
5.Cut tomato. Well, when I cut into my tomato it was no good, so luckily I keep a stash of back up tomatoes on hand.<br />
6.Apply tomatoes<br />
7.Apply cheese and fresh basil from windowsill. I keep shredded cheese on hand just for quick weeknight meals like this.<br />
8.Bake about 10 more minutes<br />
9.Yum Yum<br />
<br />
There you have it. 100% homemade pizza that is easy peezy, quicker and cheaper than delivery and much much tastier that frozen. And only one dish to clean, and its a tiny ramekin so it really doesn't count. Of course, I go all out and make fancy pizzas, too, but for a weeknight meal, this cant be beat. Also, since I have two stones in the oven, I always make two at a time. Just as quick and we have yum yum leftovers.<br />
<br />
Now I am off to try a new spicey corn soup recipe and homemade buttermilk buscuits. Will let you know how it turns out.<div class="blogger-post-footer">living, loving, and crafting all things dandy</div>dandyapplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12415413359398087913noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36692384.post-76802526065648130882008-10-05T08:47:00.006-05:002009-11-18T16:41:32.303-06:00Life changing recipe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitTTRSAOmtHxqchxz_ifq4F1LSduUIwl49rsrSrSzJfRjvJX2_mRE_AWNOTDYZYKkVcumZ6QnxAPrKsKbYoQC3voXJbs_p2iEsh3Xk5q2h3NPPQ9vwZwq5peNHQzKQZ3ULqQx_/s1600-h/artisan-bread-in-five.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253674225030265890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitTTRSAOmtHxqchxz_ifq4F1LSduUIwl49rsrSrSzJfRjvJX2_mRE_AWNOTDYZYKkVcumZ6QnxAPrKsKbYoQC3voXJbs_p2iEsh3Xk5q2h3NPPQ9vwZwq5peNHQzKQZ3ULqQx_/s400/artisan-bread-in-five.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;" /></a><br />
<a href="http://dandyapple.blogspot.com/2008/09/homemade-pizza.html">As promised</a>, here is the info on the recipe that has literally changed my life. At the beginning of this year, I was listening to an episode of <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/">The splendid table</a></span> when I heard a fellow named Jeff Hertzberg discussing his new book <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/">Artisan bread in five minutes a day</a></span> Being a die hard breadaholic, the interview immediately sparked my interest. He was declaring that you could mix up a batch of bread dough, not even knead it, and keep it for up to two weeks to use whenever and however you see fit.<br />
<br />
I promptly tried out the "master recipe" expecting an absolute failure. I formed and baked a small loaf to have with dinner. I say, it was the best bread I have ever made in my life. I admit, I am no master baker, but I do know my way around a mixing bowl. And once again it was absolutely the best bread I had ever made. It was crusty, chewy, it smelled fantastic, it tasted fantastic, and it was pretty. It looked just like the picture on the cover of the book. Now for the nitty griity on making the "master recipe" and a little history on how Jeff and coauthor Zoë François developed this process.<br />
<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zMxJgIpe38Q&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zMxJgIpe38Q&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
I have been using this method for nearly a year now, and it really has changed my life. I always have bread dough ready to make what ever concoction I can dream up. From pizza to french boules to ciabatta buns I have made it all. No more planning to make bread. I can do it at the spur of the moment. No more lugging out the bread machine and waiting an hour, for it to make a less than spectacular dough.<br />
<br />
A few things I must say. You REALLY need the baking stone. Jeff and Zoë recommend regular all purpose flour. I like a mixture of King Author bread flour and King Author AP flour and reduce the amount in the recipe by about a half a cup. The bread flour has a higher protein content and results in a denser chewier crumb, which I happen to prefer.<br />
<br />
One of the most amazing things to me, is that Zoë and Jeff have generously distributed the foundation for the book. The "master recipe". You don't have to buy their book, to begin using their method of bread baking. However, the book is absolutely worth it. There are so many recipes and other doughs that it really is a nice cookbook to add to your collection. <br />

I have had a busy couple of days. Besides creating dandy goodness to list on etsy this week, I have been working on my never ending to do list.<br />
*Getting ready for the <a href="http://lollishops.com/">Lollishops</a> opening<br />
*Finishing and sending my <a href="http://springcart.typepad.com/holiday_hotness_bazaar/">Hotness Bazaar</a> promos<br />
*Setting up my new <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6289431">etsy destash shop</a> (more on that later)<br />
*Preparing two giveaways to list here on the blog (stay tuned for that)<br />
*Setting up my shop at <a href="http://www.shophandmade.com/">shop handmade</a><br />
*And trying to keep up with a little thing called everyday life. You know...full time job, hubster, doggies, cats, food, housework, my mom visiting, etc. <br />
<br />
I think I need a vacation. Oh wait, this week I am on vacation from my "day" job, and I am working harder than ever. But I am having a ball!<div class="blogger-post-footer">living, loving, and crafting all things dandy</div>dandyapplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12415413359398087913noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36692384.post-14036173651657986752008-09-23T09:00:00.002-05:002009-11-18T16:46:57.485-06:00Etsy finds.

I found out this week that I was accepted to lollishops. What is lollishops? It is an upcoming juried online handmade marketplace for the sweet, cutesy, romantic, artists that appeal to those that love froufrou. I have never thought of my work as froufrou, but I do think it is romantic and nostalgic. Wish me luck.<div class="blogger-post-footer">living, loving, and crafting all things dandy</div>dandyapplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12415413359398087913noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36692384.post-34011564367343850772008-09-10T22:44:00.002-05:002008-09-10T22:50:15.755-05:00purple nurpleI snagged a treasury on treasury west yesterday, completely by accident.
