What are you cooking tonight?

[huja]

Invited to dinner at my neighbor's tonight. I'm bringing dessert. Cream cheese chocolate brownies (think cheese cake/brownie combo).

Thai green curry with whatever I found in the refrigerator and cupboard (winter squash, mushrooms, baby corn, cherry tomatoes, greenbeans)

Perfect for a cool autumn evening.

Thin crust pizza

I have become paranoid of thin crust pizza made at home... turns out teeth breaking hard crust is not good for my teeth.

Maybe you can post a picture and the recipe for the porridge you're having for dinner tonight.

Interesting... I always get a jar of tahini with good intentions to make hummus but never do and certainly never use it up. Any idea how long an opened jar of tahini lasts?

Always found tahini quite dense and pasty so I wonder how it turns out in brownies...

Tahini makes it a very thick and sticky batter. You'll get a good workout whisking it. Also, be sure to buy the creamy, liquidy version rather than the paste for this recipe. It adds a deep complexity to the brownie so it's not a one-note SWEET dessert. A very light sprinkle of sea salt on top right before it goes into the oven made the sweetness of the sugar, the earthiness dark chocolate (I had 92% cacao on hand) and toasty notes of the tahini pop - think salted caramels. This would be heaven with a good cup of coffee.

I keep my tahini in the refrigerator and I've never had a batch go bad.
