Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you think of “Prairie Home Companion,” Jell-O salad, and hot dish when you think of Minnesota cuisine, you’re way off the mark—at least in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis and St. Paul are part of a vibrant Midwest dining scene that’s second only to Chicago. Although the region was settled by Scandinavians drawn to the timber and flour mills, you’ll be hard-pressed to find Norwegian or Swedish restaurants these days now that Marcus Samuelsson’s Aquavit has closed. New immigrants, from Somalia, Laos, and Mexico have changed the local culinary landscape. Minneapolis is the younger, hipper sibling, with cutting-edge restaurants and architecture (check out the new Guthrie Theater overlooking the Mississippi). St. Paul, the state capitol, is the clean-cut traditionalist; famous Summit Avenue residents included F. Scott Fitzgerald and timber magnate Frederick Weyerhaeuser.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Reviewed on Sep. 3, 2008 by Sumchelle
Followed the common mods: Upping the flour by 1/2 cup / baking soda up 1/2 tbs / cut salt to 1/2 tsp. Incorporated mrab03's peanut butter idea. Then, I come to find I have a bit short of 1.5 cups of old fashioned oats and 3/4 bag of MINI chocolate chips... Cooked at 335 (per Fervent Frugal Foodie's suggestion) for 13 minutes, and let sit on sheets for five. Even though these have deviated from the recipe, they are SO GOOD! Next time, though: I'll make sure I have the right amount of oats.

Real Hummus

Reviewed on Sep. 1, 2008 by C R Henning
This is probably the best recipe for hummus on this site, but you do have to make a few adjustments to make it come out right. First, it is very thick, so you will have to thin it out with either the liquid from the beans (although you get a slight after-taste when you do this), or you can add some vegetable or chicken broth (even water, if you don't have the broth). I doubled the garlic, because if you don't, you can't really taste the garlic and hummus really should have a stronger garlic taste. I also doubled the lemon juice, but if you used fresh lemon juice you probably wouldn't have to do that. The last addition I made was adding some fresh parsley. I have to say that I don't agree with having to peel the beans before mixing - I have tried this in the past and not only is it VERY time consuming, but it doesn't make that much of a difference in the overall taste (unless you are a serious hummus connoisseur, that is!)
