NoEx ramblings
Nov. 20th, 2009 02:27 pmSo, I've re-watched SPN's 5.10, but it's just so emotionally exhausting, that I don't think I'm going to get to my write-up any time soon. Not to worry. I've got TWO MONTHS to get it done. (And anxiously await 5.11, which looks really intense and exciting and edge-of-my-seat awesome.)
But now that we're into hiatus, and Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching, it's time to get in the holiday mindset. I'm baking pumpkin pie this afternoon, and I thought I'd take a peek at the recipe that's in my Northern Exposure Cookbook.
Now, those of you who know me, or who have followed this LJ from the beginning, you know that I love Northern Exposure. It ranks on my list of Top 10 TV Shows of All Time. It probably lands in the Top 5.
And the cookbook is one of the best tie-in books to a TV series I've ever seen. The comments from the characters are spot-on voice-wise, and the real quotes from the series are gold. Take a look at this previous entry and I think you'll get the idea.
So over the next few days or weeks, I might be posting things from the book that strike me as pretty darn wonderful or insightful or just plain fun. I also might be trying a recipe or two (the book does contain the ambrosia salad recipe I use as my stand-by). Because a lot of the recipes look like fun, too.

The NX philosophy of pie
Nov. 20th, 2009 02:46 pmAnd so, since pie is a common point of interest in both the NX Cookbook and SPN, I thought I'd post some items of interest from the book regarding pie. (Page 108)
( Holling [Vincour] on Cream Pies )
( Maurice [Minnifield] on Cream Pies )
( Shelly [Tambo] on Cream Pies )
And as a bonus, ( Adam on Salad Dressing )
Honestly, NX cracks me up. Maybe I'll pull out some of those over hiatus. Also, someone once wrote a NX/SPN x-over of sorts. I have no idea where I misplaced that link.
Off to bake a pie. And make my own crust this time. Wish me luck.

I'm looking for the site that has the most recent (?) promo pics for J & J. It's the photo shoot that had a pic of them synchronizing their watches. I think it might have been a collection done for a magazine? You know the photo shoot I mean? Point me in the right direction?
In other news, the pie crust was easier than I remember it being. We'll find out how it turned out this evening.
