I made a batch of strawberry syrup with 1 lb, any ideas for the second pound?
I also need a good strawberry recipe! (usually I just eat them cut up in cereal, in my hand, in yogurt, with whipped cream but I have too many now!) What is this strawberry syrup?
Though last year Amy did a quicker version using a chicken and they stomped her for it. Even she didn't do it in 45 minutes, though.
One of the TC contestants did a "version" of coq au vin with a chicken. She got dinged for it. They said "if she hadn't called it coq au vin, we would have liked it"
I turned my CSA strawberries from last week into these, and they were pretty darn awesome:

My first attempt at doing something with strawberries besides the above. Actually it's part of a Bon Appétit strawberry milkshake recipe. In their recipe, you boil the strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/3 cup corn syrup (I used 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup maple syrup) for 10 minutes. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice. Strain berries out. I'm keeping the berries to mix in with yogurt. The syrup will be used for both milkshakes and probably yogurt as well.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of - for some reason I thought it was Amy who did that, but I think you're right and it was TC.
Oooh rhubarb!!!
I'm marking that and strawberry syrup recipe! Also I'm thinking of making a clafoutis because I also got the most delicious sweet yellow cherries. Except I think I may just eat them all before I can make anything with them.
I think that if you did chicken in a red wine sauce and said that you did chicken in a red wine sauce because it is impossible to find an old rooster in most grocery stores and because you wanted to make a modernized version you would be okay.
Of course, first you have to know what coq au vin is.

yeah, they are really pushing the Neelys. Which is unfortunate because I find them very annoying.
What little I've seen of the Neeley's has me convinced they are trying to kill their viewers with their food.
