I turned my CSA strawberries from last week into these, and they were pretty darn awesome:
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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?
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.

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"
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.

They're too schticky and cutesy, with their "spice fairy" nonsense, the "we're so in love" bit, etc. I just want straightforward cooking without a lot of hoopla. The one exception to this is Alton Brown, and I don't like the schtick any more (it was so much better the first season or two), but the information is good enough that I deal. With the Neelys, I can just go online for the recipe.

How un-Buffista of me not to know that "coq" = "cock". Oh well, you learn something new everyday.
Although now that I think about it, I think Alton Brown did a Good Eats on coq a vin where he discussed it (I think he went with chicken, too, though).
