The next "Celtic Woman" DVD, which was recorded in July, is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Since that doesn't come out until the end of January and thus the order won't process until then, I will assume it's safe to buy for myself (as I've been forbidden to buy myself anything until Christmas is over). :D

Will place the order this weekend, once my paycheck goes through.

I have likely been annoying a few people with my focus on vegetarian topics of late, but this is part of how I think things out. However, as I think I've gotten to a happier place on this, I won't actively bring up the topic as much.

( Autumn Vegetable Succotash )

A simple recipe, yes, but one I want to try tonight. It also gives me an excuse to use my rice cooker/steamer again. Putting it here helps me remember... So there. :)

Warner Bros. finally has a release date - September 29th - for the 70th anniversary DVD of "The Wizard of Oz", digitally remastered and available in HD and Blu-Ray. The debate will be to go with the 2 disk or the 4 disk.

Also, for you Pixar fans, "Up" will be on DVD this fall, November 10th.

I am definitely trying this tonight. I should already have all I need. ^^

( Baked Garlic Mushrooms )

Verdict: Not bad, but needs refining. Our oven may cook far warmer, as it slightly charred much of the bread crumbs, even with the oils in it. I may skillet-cook that far less to make up for it. Also, I can't get away with just cutting button mushrooms in half, as the rounded outside doesn't take to the "sprinkling" of crumbs. Oh well, live and learn. Still fairly tasty.

New food icon, now with vegetarian tiger. :D

More dessert stuff. Could be fun on a weekend. :)

( Chocolate-Crusted Coconut Bars )

Normally I complain about work being cold, since I sit directly under a vent. However, today the issue is the opposite. I was comfortable when I came in this morning (so already a bad sign), and found out that the building's main cooler went out this weekend. We've been managing alright, but will likely leave once the day warms up. As is, we're working on getting some box fans so our server will be alright. It's not in danger of melting, but the fans are definitely working overtime. A couple coworkers are already working from home.

Same song, second verse.

( Apple, Pear and Coconut Salad )

Verdict: Very good!
I will probably make it many more times, though mainly to get rid of the excess coconut (seems we already had a bag in the freezer). Also, time to look for coconut recipes to that same end.

Verdict: Tasty!
