They have a lovely golden color! A lot of stews and casseroles don't photograph well but they're so good.

Chicken tortilla is the first that comes to mind. BTW, that is a dish that is bland going together. White soups, white tortillas, white chicken. The only thing that adds color (finally) are the salsa and cheddar cheese. It's not a pretty dish, but it is scrumptious.<br /><br />~AveryDaryl Wood Gerber a.k.a.

It's hamburger with chowmein vegetables, cream of celery soup, onion, celery. This is served over a bed of rice topped with soy sauce & crunchy noodles.

But after years of making my banana bread it was like a lightbulb on that point, too. Bananas are soft. They blend well. And carrots are shredded so they break down easily. And apple pie, well, it just cooks for such a long time and all the juices essentially parboil the apples while the pie cooks. But in Daryl Wood Gerber a.k.a.

I think a lot of us just go through the peeling and slicing part, add the apples to whatever we're making, and then wonder why they aren't cooked when the baking is done. Giving them that nudge up front really helps (but don't overdo it or you'll get mush!).<br /><br />Re the "eye of the beholder," in a French restaurant Sheila Connollyhttp://www.sheilaconnolly.comnoreply@blogger.com
