self-titled - no. 2 - (Page 15) EP POT LUCK For the filling, preheat oven to 350. Combine cream cheese and sugar. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Blend in pumpkin, spices and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Set mixture aside. For the crust, mix gingersnap crumbs, sugar and butter, and pat gently into a 9- to 10-inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Pour batter into pan, and bake for 50 minutes. Loosen rim, and cool completely. Chill and garnish with topping. Dust lightly with nutmeg, or if you’re feeling kind of crazy, some additional gingersnap crumbs. – Thomas Hughes, lead vocals/bass Spi nto Band JULIE’S JAMBOREE 1 zucchini, sliced into thin pieces 1 summer squash, also sliced 1 pint cherry tomatoes ½ onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove (or 3, which is what I prefer) 1 tablespoon oregano leaves (OK, this is not that important) ¼ cup olive oil freshly grated parmesan cheese Boil pasta noodles.

It goes well with beer and jokes about Texas. Preheat your oven to 400. Cut the greens off the beets. Then set them aside for later use. Roast the beets in the oven (covered in tin foil) until tender—about 45 minutes to an hour. Turn the oven down a bit, to about 350. Toast your baguette slices in the oven, about 5 minutes on each side. Don’t burn them; that is a typical mistake in our kitchen. Thinly slice the beet green stems, and finely chop the leaves. Now you want to sauté a bunch of the ingredients. Add to a sauce pan on medium heat (in the following order): 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, beet stems, another tablespoon of olive oil and garlic. Stir. Add beet leaves, vinegar and water. Cook all that up proper 15 until the liquid has evaporated a bunch—maybe 5 minutes. Stir in salt. Remove from heat. Peel the beets that were roasting in the oven. It is best to let them cool down first. Cut those beets into 1-inch pieces. Blend up beets and goat cheese in a food processor and puree until silky smooth. Now that everything is prepared, you just need to spread the puree onto the bread and top with the sautéed greens. Congratulate yourself on what a great appetizer you have made and hope your guests appreciate both the taste and appearance of such a vivid dish.

Next, mix in the nuts, and add the fruit on top. This recipe serves one hungry young Nick Krill or maybe two less hungry people. Some variations: Instead of molasses, substitute maple syrup for Young Nick Krill’s ShooCanadian Breakfast, or honey for Young Nick Krill’s Shoo-Bear Breakfast. Instead of cottage cheese, substitute plain yogurt for Young Nick Krill’s Greek Shoo-Fly Breakfast. – Nick Krill, lead vocals/guitar PHoTo BY TRAvIS HuGGETT PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE THE RUSSIAN HOLIDAY a twist on the white Russian 1 part vodka 1 part Kahlua, or coffee liquer of your choice 1 part eggnog (vanilla or golden preferred) Mix, strain and enjoy with friends and family by the fireplace. – Sam Hughes, keyboards/ backing vocals Filling 2 eight-ounce packages cream cheese ¾ cup sugar 2 cups mashed pumpkin 1 teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ teaspoon ground ginger pinch of salt 2 eggs whipped cream (or other topping of your choice) Gingersnap Crust 1¼ cups gingersnap cookie crumbs 3 tablespoons sugar 1½ tablespoons melted butter http://www.spintoband.com/
