Rhode Island

The smallest state in the union, Rhode Island also has the longest official name: the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. However, it is almost always shortened to Rhode Island. While there is an island named Rhode Island, most of the state (the Providence Plantations portion) is actually connected to the mainland. Rhode Island is wedged between Connecticut and Massachusetts, with a coastline that cuts deeply into the eastern part of the state along Narragansett Bay, ensuring that no matter where you are in Rhode Island you are never far from the sea. The Atlantic Ocean has greatly influenced Rhode Island’s economy, cuisine, and culture. The quahog clam shell is the official state shell of Rhode Island. A typical preparation for quahog clams is to combine them with sausage and stuffing and then bake the mixture right in their large shells. The Ocean State also offers a unique take on clam chowder; it’s a clear-broth variation of the creamy New England kind and is often served with deep-fried clam cakes, another Rhode Island specialty.

Moussaka

Reviewed on Oct. 13, 2008 by maryanne
I wish I had baked the eggplant instead of cooking it in olive oil. The eggplant soaked up all the olive oil then rendered it out during cooking. The result? I spent four hours cooking and ended up with a big pan of gross hot oil and a broken sauce. You might have also mentioned that the eggplant should be rinsed after sitting in salt!

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by MorningCoffee
You can't get better than a flourless cookie, especially when they turn out as perfect as these. You can turn them into a truly low fat cookie as well, using Splenda instead. Everytime I make these, the texture is perfect every time. Flattening them with the traditional fork criss-cross does not make them too crispy. I would make sure you bake them for the full 8 minutes though as they tend to be too creamy.

Emily's Famous Marshmallows

Reviewed on Oct. 9, 2008 by Angelyne :)
Very nice marshmallow recipe. Having made marshmallows before, I have a couple of suggestions: 1. After blooming the gelatin, you can actually microwave it into a liquid (be careful not to burn it!) so pouring the syrup into it goes more smoothly. 2. To make a nice flat surface of marshmallow to work with, instead of dusting the pan with conf. sugar, lightly coat it with cooking spray, then put a layer of plastic wrap on it to line the pan, and coat the plastic wrap with cooking spray again. You can easily pour the marshmallow into this pan. Then cut another piece of plastic big enough to cover the marshmallow and before putting it on the marshmallow, spray that with cooking spray and put the sprayed side down on the marshmallow surface. This way, you can use your hands to flatten out the surface evenly and after letting it set up, you can just pull the plastic out of the pan and flip the marshmallow out of the greased pan. THEN you can dust it with confectioners sugar.
