The Carnival of the Recipes #49 (UPDATED!)

Welcome to the 49^th edition of the Carnival of the Recipes, a collection of recipes from some of the best cooks and bloggers in the blogosphere. It’s been almost six months since the last time I’ve hosted the Carnival and I’ve got to admit it was a lot easier this time around. Please look around while you’re here.

I don’t know about you but the last thing I ever get around to doing is organizing my recipes. My submission to the carnival this week is all of the recipes I’ve posted since I began The Glittering Eye classified and alphabetized. As I post more recipes I’m planning on keeping this list up-to-date.

We’ve got a very summer-oriented carnival this week, folks. A lot of cold drinks and cold desserts.

When you visit these great blogs please prowl arond a little. A lot of them have worthwhile things to say besides having great recipes. And drop a note in the comments section here with your feedback on any of the recipes you’ve tried.

Next week’s Carnival will be hosted by Feisty Christina of Feisty Repartee.

Meat

Everything and Nothing serves up Pepper Jack Meatloaf with Honey-Roasted Potatoes.
And, as if that weren’t enough, she’s got some Summer Corn & White Bean Soup as well.

You know the difference between Creole food and Cajun food, don’t you? You eat Creole food
in the dining room and you eat Cajun food in the kitchen. Feisty Christina of
Feisty Repartee’s recipe for Grillade, a veal dish, sounds like
Creole food to me (if you eat it in the dining room, that is).

If you can judge by this post, Cajun food is as popular in Sweden as it is here. Martin Lindeskog
of EGO cooks up some Hickory-Smoked Cajun Shish Kebab.

Seafood

Rory of What not to do in Asia… cautions us on the hazards of trying to prepare
old favorites while in Korea. The result: Dogs**t Nachos.
I doubt it tastes as bad as it looks.

The Redneck Gourmet presents Tropical Shrimp Stir Fry.
How rednecks have changed!

Salads

Jim Holmes of Frazzled Dad has a recipe for Fennel Salad.
I like fennel salad and I recommend that you slice the fennel quite thin. A mandoline is helpful
for this, if you have one.

Green Mountain at Fox Run of A Weight Lifted posts a very tasty-looking Green Bean and Red Potato Salad
which looks very much like the base of a Salade Niçoise.

I actually prefer an oil and vinegar slaw so I may give the Pickled Cole Slaw from
KeeWee’s Corner a try. With the celery seed it should be a like my old family recipe. A little sweeter, maybe.

Vegetables

Triticale puts up some Pickled Green Tomatoes.

Fruit

I like fruit soups and I’m a big fan of Hungarian so this recipe for Hungarian Cold Sour Cherry Soup
from Annamaria of Bunny? sounds pretty interesting.

Desserts and Sweets

Some of the best recipes are born from desperation and Port in a Chocolate Storm,
a dessert sauce, from Brian B of Memento Moron, certainly fits that bill.
It sounds like it might be pretty good on ice cream, fruit, cake, your hands…

Mensa Barbie Welcomes You cooks up a yummy Strawberries and Mousse.

Taleena of Sun Comprehending Glass has a recipe for Raspberry Brownies
for us.

A nice, cool Pistachio Ambrosia from ALa of Blonde Sagacity sounds pretty good.

Or, if you have absolutely no interest in a light dessert, you could pig out with
Sinfully Seductive Marbleized Chocolate Cheesecake from
Owlish Mutterings.

Julie D of Glad Gastronome bakes up a batch of Sugar & Spice Drops,
a molasses spice cookie.

This Snicker Apple Dessert!! from ArmyWifeToddlerMom sounds like a real kid-pleaser.
Or for anyone with a sweet tooth.

A quick, tasty, adult baked apple from Morning Coffee & Afternoon Tea: Baked Comfort Apples.
Now that’s my idea of comfort food.

David of Third World County thinks it’s too hot to cook and instead gives us an Ice Cream
recipe. I’ve made ice cream using this recipe and it comes out quite good.

Drinks

Coffee Sage has a Moo-Mango Smoothie for us.
It appears to be a cross between a lassi and a chai with a kind of Caribbean flair. A touch of
allspice might not be uncalled for.

Feisty Christina of Feisty Repartee apparently had a burst of energy before her trip to New Orleans
and has a pair of drink recipes for us: Bourbon Milk Punch and Cafe au Lait.

Two Dogs of Mean Ol’ Meany claims we’re too sober and has just the cure:
The REAL Mississippi Mud.

It’s too hot to cook for Punctilious of Like News But Tasty. Instead we’ve got Swamp Water, a kid’s party drink.

Snacks and Appetizers

George Stratton of In the Interests of Me gives us a recipe for Deviled Eggs.
I’m a big fan of deviled eggs but I’d use a little Tabasco rather than the vinegar. But that’s just me.

Try out this Summery chip dip
from The Head Girl at The Commons Room. But wait! There’s more.

Robert Pearson of New Victorian has a shaker full of New Victorian’s Perfect Martini
ready.

Jeff at Trub has a recipe for Armadillo Eggs.
No armadillos were harmed in the making of this recipe.

Breads, pasta, dumplings, etc.

I’m going to admit that I solicited a few recipes for the carnival. One of the folks that I solicited was Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit. Glenn suggested I include a recipe he’d posted some time ago, Pasta with Tomato, Basil and Chevre sauce.

Techno Gypsy presents a couple
of variations on potato dumplings.

UPDATE: She didn’t submit it but she did post it and I’m including it anyway. Jane Galt of Asymmetrical Information posts the Best Pancake Recipe Ever.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Steve Green, the VodkaPundit, has also posted a recipe (possibly in response to my solicitations). He’s offering Heat Wave Penne. Mange!
