This Saturday I made a new soup: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Creamy-Sweet-Potato-With-Ginger-Soup/Detail.aspx">Creamy Sweet Potato with Ginger</a>. I made <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/04/FDG83LG6CQ1.DTL">Perfect Popovers</a> to accompany it, with the recipe from the SF Chronicle's <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/foodat20/">Food at 20</a> retrospective. The popovers would probably be better suited to a blander soup. The sweet potato soup was REALLY spicy. But the popovers were delicious, and surprisingly easy to make.<br /><br />I had a little batter left over from the popovers, so I poured it into a hot nonstick pan and made a single Swedish pancake. It made a nice appetizer!<br /><br />On Sunday I made this <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2006/10/04/FDREC86.DTL">Shaker Lemon Pie</a>, also from the Chronicle article. It was kind of weird -- I wondered if I sliced the lemons thin enough? At any rate, I am slowly working my way through the recipes in this article, which featured the number-one recipe from each of the past 20 years, plus one runner-up for each year.
