Easy Curried Butternut Squash Soup! (vegan)
I had a butternut squash from way back in the fall and a desire for real arroz con habichuelas (Puerto Rican pink beans and rice), which may seem not to have anything to do with butternut squash soup, but after I boiled the squash, I realized I had about twice as much as I needed! […]

Frankenbeans! (Hot Dogs and Pink Beans in a Skillet)
It’s a sad irony that I finally have perfected Latin white rice (thanks to my dad’s technique) and the doctor tells me that I have to reduce carbs for my triglycerides or somesuch! Terrible. But Leandro received no such warning, so he gets to enjoy my now fantastic rice with any number of dishes. Here’s […]

Sweet and Savory Churrasco (Skirt Steak, Grilled)
You may ask whether I am cooking at all lately, seeing as I have been posting more of my dad, Pedro’s recipes than my own. Truth is, I have been cooking as much as usual, but sticking to my go-to recipes like Spinach Pasta, Pollo Guisado (Stewed Chicken), and the like. I am prepping for […]

It cores and peels apples
Apple peeler and corer. I used to sell them for Pampered Chef!
It’s an apple corer/slicer. My neighbor is a gadget queen and she has one!
I meant corer/peeler. I was thinking the only thing that could make it more awesome is if it sliced as well!
Apple peeler!?!
Cores (and peels) apples while turning the handle. Might need an engineering degree to set the apples up properly, me thinks! Pies in your future FC&E?
Darn, I thought it was something for removing facial hair!

I was going to say the same as Susan. The most obscure looking machine like that that I’ve seen is one for removing cherry stones
Cores (and peels) apples while turning the handle.
I used it much times for made my apple frittes on the cities parties
Love this gadget – it peels and cores and I think it even slices an apple in just one or two rotations!
not fair for me to guess since I think I gave this to you-it does slice too! I especially like the suction cup attachment.
I’ve also used it without the corer-slicer to peel potatoes.
Haha! Will be crediting you in tomorrow’s post….And have been thinking a lot about a fall visit…I want to know how your work is coming along!
I own the same one, just in green! Great for my family’s age-old pear relish recipe!
How funny! Great minds think alike….(that is actually very deep, when you think about it…)
Apple peeler/corer/slicer. Best. invention. ever.
A Stand to hold prosciutto for slicing
The answer will be revealed momentarily!
