Mine didn't look exactly like this, but, then again, I didn't exactly follow the recipe. My version substituted yellow onion for the red, used fresh juicy tomatoes plus a little water instead of canned, and included paprika and chili powder. My squash chunks were also like 3 times the size of theirs. I let the veggies caramelize (er, ok, I nearly burned the onions) so there was some extra sweetness from that, and I really think the fresh tomatoes were a better choice. One was a super ugly, super sweet purple-y heirloom. The paprika also warmed up the flavor a little. I was very pleased. And it was... real simple! Chuckle chuckle.
I had it with a glass of Sauv Blanc from my wine of the month club! It was a Chilean wine, and it was really great. Kind of rich and buttery, with a little citrus tartness at the end. More complex than most white wines. I tend to really like South American wines, so I'm not surprised I enjoyed this one. I'm excited to have more tonight now that it will be chilled.
I would now like to congratulate my mom on becoming so internet savvy! She reads my blog very regularly. But now she has very little to say to me on the phone. I'm thinking the reason is along these lines. To give credit where credit is due, Maggie sent me that link, courtesy of her friend Tae, whose UPenn comedy group created it. I'm kvelling.
Can someone tell me how to embed a video in my blog instead of linking to it? I would also like to know how to change the width of the text box... it's so narrow! It makes me posts look uber-long and intimidating.
