Elliot’s Easy College Kitchen Recipes is a blog providing higher education in all things edible.

In a recent post, Elliot pays tribute to the Skinny Pancake Coconut Curried Potato Crepe. Considered one of “Burlington’s Best Meals Under $10″, this unique Skinny Crepe Creation is praised as “…delicious. Spicy, savory, sweet.”

Summed up, this crepe is yummy & affordable!

For more on Burlington’s Best Meals Under $10 visit: http://recipesforstudents.blogspot.com/2009/11/best-meals-in-burlington-under-10.html.

P.S. For the best carnivore option, Montpelier General Manager Jeremy Silansky suggests adding lamb to the Coconut Curried Potato Crepe.

Morning, folks:

For all the jockeying that happens amongst organizations & events during the summer months, there is a palpable lull from November through early February. “The Skinny” just about writes itself during the busy months…but by now I find myself with a lack of “material.” With plenty to do today, we’ll be keeping “The Skinny” reasonably short this week…

Winter Farmer’s Markets Arrive:

The fresh & local leafy greens are gone for good in 2009…unless you’re tapping into a select few season-extension farms. The good news is that root cellars (pictured to the right and below) around the state are flush with VT veggies like potatoes, beets, turnips, parsnips, carrots, celeriac root, rutabaga and a few other real oddballs…thank goodness, right?

Perhaps you’re saying to yourself, “gosh, I love my root vegetables so much I just can’t keep the pantry shelves stockede…I need more!!!” Well good news, folks: aside from your friendly & reliable co-op, several winter farmer’s markets crank up this weekend…including one for our Capitol City and another in Big ‘Ole Burlington…both are great places to do your shopping for Thanksgiving!!!

The Burlington Winter Farmer’s Market takes place on the third Saturday of every month between 10 am and 2 pm in Memorial Auditorium from November through April. More information can be found at www.burlingtonfarmersmarket.org/

The Capital City Farmer’s Market kicks off their winter season with the legendary Thanksgiving Farmer’s Market (“our largest of the year”) from 10 am to 2 pm at the Montpelier High school. Their website explains, “This market is stocked with everything you need to create a holiday feast, and with plenty of treats and gifts for friends and family.  New this year, the Thanksgiving Farmers Market will also have FRESH TURKEY from Applecheek Farm and Tangletown Farm.” The Capital City Farmer’s Market will continue also on the third Saturday of each month from November through April with “fresh produce– such as salad mix, spinach, Asian greens, sprouts and kale…a full range or storage crops and lots of fruit frozen fresh from the field over the summer (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, peppers), prepared foods such as pesto and soups, a variety of cheeses, natural and organic meats and poultry, fresh Red Hen Bakery breads and pastries, baked goods from Butterfly Bakery, prepared foods and fine crafts.” More information can be found at http://www.montpelierfarmersmarket.com/.

PS: CapitAl or CapitOl? I thought I had this straight, but the “CapitAl City Farmer’s Market” is either a puny joke, an anarchistic attempt to destroy our collective fragile distinction between these two words or someone in Montpelier needs to do some proof reading. My guess: it’s just really puny…

Food Specials at the Skinny this week:

“Just Trust Me” crepe (Burlington): Misty Knolls Chicken, Spinach, Feta Cheese, Walnuts, Strawberries & a splash of our house dressing on a Gleason’s Grain Whole Wheat Crepe.” $9.50

Lambamba Tacos (Montpelier): Winding Brook Farm Ground Lamb, Screaming Ridge Greens, Skinny Salsa, Cabot Sour Cream and Guacamole filled in two Soft Butterworks Cornmeal Crepe “Tacos”. $10.00

~Main Street Landing Presents~
A quick note on Green Drinks:

For the uninformed: on the last Tuesday of every month, a collection of great businesses come together to help sponsor & host Burlington Green Drinks. Meanwhile, a collection of great people come together to attend it. The event is always held from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Main Street Landing’s Lake Lobby. 100 beers are paid for and poured by the sponsors, a free food spread is provided to all those who attend & an engaging monthly sponsor offers a topic for the month. Pretty sweet deal for the approximately 100 people who come to meet, mingle and network.

Now to confuse you: the November 2009 Green Drinks will be held on the first Tuesday in December (12.01.09). This will be the only Burlington Green Drinks for both months.

What the heck? Well, the last Tuesday of November is moments before Turkey-stuffing time & the last Tuesday in December is amidst the revelry and consumption that marks the All-American holiday season tradition. Thus, for the third year in a row now, we have navigated these tumultuous waters with one Green Drinks for these two months on the first Tuesday in December. Starting in January, we will return to our regular pattern of behavior (as will everyone else post-holiday habit-hiccup).

Ok, great…so who’s the sponsor this next month (still confused?):

The sponsor for the Burlington Green Drinks held on December 1st, 2009 from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Main Street Landing’s Lake Lobby is Encore Redevelopment (www.encoreredevelopment.com). Encore Redevelopment, “specializes in investment, project management and consulting services related to real estate acquisition and development, with a focus on environmentally challenged sites and infill development strategies.” Interesting stuff…come learn more about them & enjoy the drinks, food & company on December 1st!

Alt country singer songwriters & guitarists Jay Ekis http://www.myspace.com/jayekis) and Brian Clark come together for a Friday night of sweet pickin’ & original songs.

These two talented folk artists are from Montpelier. There’s a really nice collection of performers over there in our sister city to the southeast (note the gig on Thursday too)….and yet, folks here in Burlington don’t seem to know about any of them! But here’s your chance to check out one of the Capitol city’s regulars…

From his website: “Ekis released his second album called “Touched By War.” Digging deep into tales of conflict and inspired by the country-noir of Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” and Mary Gauthier’s “Mercy Now,” the new album stretches from rock to (alt-)country to express the joy and frustration of life in the 21st century.”

“Jay Ekis is a rare songwriter, bold and emotional without ever coming across overwrought. His songs are infectious, they get in your blood and make their way to the heart before you notice what’s happening.”  -Anais Mitchell, Righteous Babe Records recording artist

“…with Touched by War, he has taken great strides toward cementing his place among the state’s stoutest songwriters.” – Dan Bolles, music editor, Seven Days

Making their second performance at the Skinny Pancake is a new invention to the Burlington music scene: Flood In the Fizzy Factory  www.myspace.com/floodinthefizzyfactory. Led by local realtor Dave Kleh, this group’s original compositions have an electronic influence, perhaps a Talking Heads flare…very curious, very creative…

In the pipeline…

Howdy folks,

there is a quiet lull this time of year…the hustle & bustle of the summer sun & fall foliage has fallen off and the winter weather is yet to bring skiers to VT. Some lament this period as the lamest of our six seasons…winter, mud, spring, summer, fall & STICK SEASON. We would like to honor it. Thus, in celebration of this muted moment in the VT seasonal cycle, we have some special offers to keep you busy…in three acts:

ACT I:
The Stick Season Special
Bring a friend to the Skinny anytime between now and the New Year…
Get two soups & split any one crepe
Take 10% off your order!!!

***please note: special starts on Monday, 11.16.09

ACT II:

YOU’RE invited to come SKINNY DIPPING* in Montpelier!

Our melting pots make their grand debut THIS Friday in the Capital City! That means you, your sweetie, & perhaps a friend or two can now cozy up at the Montpelier Mini-Skinny to dip into FONDUE on any given Friday or Saturday night. Wahoo!

Just as in Burlington, the Montpelier Skinny will offer several varieties of Fondue now featuring LOCAL CHEESES & CIDER: Thanks to the contribution of our Montpelier GM Jeremy Silansky, we’ve made localvoriented improvements to our basic fondue recipe including the introduction of Taylor Farm Gouda Cheese and the substitution of Farnum Hill Hard Cider in for the traditional Kirsch!!! When you’re done dippin’ cheese we’ll have our regular dessert menu on hand as well as the decadent dessert classic, Chocolate Fondue.

Adding to the experience is the introduction of Full
Service on Friday & Saturday evenings…just like in Burlington. Now you can just take a seat & let us come to you!

For a bigger taste of Fondue options in both locations, visit http://www.skinnypancake.com/skinny-dipping/.

*Fine Print: “Skinny Dipping” refers to “fondue at the Skinny Pancake.” Due to health code regulations, shirt & shoes are still required and for that matter we’d like you to wear pants too seeing as it is November and we ought keep things PG for all the kiddos out there.

Pictured here is our Head Chef & Crepe Master Flash, Tim Collins (the fellow in the middle) at the 15th Anniversary Celebration for the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center.

Tim was invited to scoop along side Ben Cohen & Jerry Greenfield, Vermont’s sweet treat originators, who donated their ice cream & personally scooped it at the benefit celebration event hosted at ECHO Center.

Tim reported, “I felt like a kid in a candy shop when I asked if I could help scoop.” Can you tell?

ACT III:
MOOOOving on…How about a PARTY at our place…or yours!

Yup, its “THAT” time of year again…feasting, merry-making, gift giving, holiday…well, almost  that time of year anyway. More accurately: its the time of year to be planning for “THAT” time of year. So here’s our pitch: throw a party, but don’t do the work!!! Sit back, relax and LET US DO IT FOR YOU!!! The Skinny Pancake would gladly cater your event so you can focus on the fun. The best part of all…we can do it at your place or ours!!!

Hey folks,

ok, so the ceiling has dropped out beneath us here in VT (mixed metaphor anyone?)…the leaves have all fallen, daylight “savings” is upon us. That’s right…the famously fantastic VT month of November has begun. But its not all gloom and doom…for one thing, we have the white light of snow at the end of the tunnel. In the meantime, I’d like to draw your attention to a very important reason to love November…or should I say…

MOVEMBER

“Movember (a portmanteau of the words ‘Moustache’ and ‘November’), also known as Novembeard, No-Shave November, or Noshember, is an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November. The event has been claimed to have been invented in 1999 by group of Australian men from Adelaide.” (Wikipedia)

From Movember.com: “A ‘Mo Bro’ starts Movember – the month formerly known as November – clean shaven, and grows a moustache all month long, garnering support from friends and family in the form of donations.  What’s more, a Mo Bro is a walking billboard for the cause as his new look opens the door for him to talk about cancers affecting men – making the moustache a symbol, much like the pink ribbon is for breast cancer.  Each Movember culminates in a Gala Partè in major cities around the globe where Mo Bros dress up to match their Mo, channeling the likes of Tom Selleck, Ghandi and Ron Burgandy, vying for the ultimate accolade:  Man of Movember.”

“Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has been running Movember events to raise awareness and funds & thus “changing the face of men’s health.” For Mo’ information, visit  www.movember.com.

Ok…two things I need to figure out (help me if you can):

1. “Each Movember culminates in a Gala Parte in major cities around the globe.” Burlington is a major city…I dare you to challenge this claim!!! With that said, where’s the party at?
2. Why the heck is a creperie talking about facial hair?

And on that note, I’d like to move this conversation right along to…
Specials this week at the Skinny Pancake!!!

Turkey Come Early Crepe (Burlington): Misty Knoll’s Turkey with Red Hen Baking Co Stuffing Wrapped in a Gleason’s Whole Wheat Crepe. Topped with Fresh Gravy, Cranberry-Apple Chutney, and a side of Pete’s Greens Brussel Sprouts. $12.00

The Yakity Yak (Montpelier): VT Yak Co. Yak with Champlain Orchards Apples, Pete’s Carmelized Onions, and Grafton Smoked Cheddar on a Gleason’s WW Crepe. $10.00

A bit about the Yak…The Vermont Yak Company’s mission is “Raising and breeding grass-fed yak for organic meat and fiber to help build a more diverse and sustainable agrarian future for the greater Green Mountain region.” The SP sourced our Yak through VT Yaker & friend-of-the-pancake Rob Williams. To learn more about The Vermont Yak Company, visit www.vermontyak.com/. You will also find links through this site to IYAK or “The International Yak Association.”

Congratulations for our friends at Radio Bean!!!

Burlington’s one-of-a-kind Radio Bean has doubled in size. Founder Lee Anderson & friends plan to hold the opening celebration this Saturday night. The expansion is long-overdue and seriously welcomed by many Pancakers who enjoy the major dose of culture Radio Bean brings to Burlington’s musical scene.

Congrats, Radio Bean!!!!

New Art at the Skinny in Montpelier

Gracing the Montpelier Mini-Skinny walls is the work of Montpelier artist Arthur B. Zorn http://www.arthurzorn.com/abstract/index.html. The exhibit titled Improvising Visions II is the debut of Zorn’s newest series of work. This abstract impressionist artist has been exhibiting in Vermont since 2004 and was notably the featured artist for the 2008 “Governor Art Exhibit” in Montpelier’s State House.

Afternoon, folks…

daylight may be dwindliong, but that doesn’t mean you need to hunker down too. In fact, an optimist might argue that every moment lost by day makes for more time to enjoy the evening. There’s plenty a-cookin’ at night around Vermont this week including film festivals, benefit events, theatrical mayhem, and a dash of local localvore reading. For example…

First up, TONIGHT, The Peace & Justice Center Presents: Black Gold, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

Join The Peace & Justice Center for the screening of the documentary Black Gold, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee on Wednesday October 28th at 7p.m. This 2006 Sundance film is an eye-opening expose of the multi-billion dollar coffee industry, and one man’s fight for a fair price.  In their words, “As westerners revel in designer lattes and cappuccinos, impoverished Ethiopian coffee farmers suffer the bitter taste of injustice. If you only see one film about Fair Trade, see this one!”

Shown at The Film House – Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center Lake & College, Burlington.

At the screening you can purchase whole bean, Fair Trade coffee from Vermont Coffee Company and participate in a raffle to win a 10oz. bag of Julia Alvarez’s Coffee, Tres Maraposas. Visit the Skinny Pancake for a cup of Fair Trade Coffee from Vermont Coffee Company before or after the movie! Suggested donation of $5. For more information contact Kathy Bouton at (802)863-2345×9 and the Peace and Justice Center http://www.pjcvt.org/center.

Another opportunity for an evening of film & events, Thursday October 29th is the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival http://svr3.acornhost.com/~vnrcorg/wildscenic/ to benefit the Vermont Natural Resource Council. Join us for award winning adventure and environmental-based films and events at the Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center, Burlington.

Opening reception begins at 5:30 p.m., films start at 7p.m. followed by a silent auction. In VNRC words, “mingle with friends and neighbors, munch on free Skinny Pancake finger foods, peruse displays of some of Vermont’s leading environmental, climate action and outdoor recreation leaders and bid on fabulous silent auction items, including a 2009-2010 season ski pass to Jay Peak, Patagonia apparel, amazing restaurant gift certificates, incredible art and much, much more. Do your holiday shopping at the Silent Auction and support VNRC at the same time! So bring your checkbook and an I.D. — tasty Skinny Pancake crepes and Vermont beer will also be available for purchase — and don’t miss this fun, fantastic event.”

TICKETS are $10.00 for the films and a raffle entry & $20.00 for the films, raffle and a 1-year membership to VNRC!

Visit www.vnrc.org and click on the Wild & Scenic logo for more info or to purchase tickets. Or visit the Flynn Box Office at https://www.flynntix.org/tickets/reserve.aspx?PerformanceNumber=5709

About VNRC: VNRC works from the grassroots to the Legislature to advance policies and practices that strengthen the foundation upon which Vermont’s economy thrives — vibrant communities and healthy downtowns, clean, abundant fresh water, working farms and forests, wild, majestic places, and a green energy economy.

All Hallowed Cheesecrepe (Burlington): Devilishly decadent pumpkin, hazelnut, and white chocolate double crusted cheesecake. Cheesecake consisting of local pumpkin mixed with white chocolate and hazelnuts with a traditional graham cracker/hazelnut crust set on a sweet graham crepe pie wedge. $8.50

Candy Corn Crepe (Montpelier):***100% local*** Candied Mazza’s Farm Sweet Corn with Bee Haven Honey, Cabot whipped Cream on a Gleason’s Cinnamon Wheat Crepe. $9.00

In addition to ghoulish stories, costumes, and candy, you can still find activities on the farm this time of year…for a festive fall drive, cruise to Northfield, Vermont for a spectacular display of pumpkin carvin’ prowess. By far, one of the best displays of the season is at Ellie’s Farm and Market, which boasts hundreds (I believe 700 this year) of lit jack-o-lanterns in the forest. Head South of Montpelier on Rt 12 to Northfield, you can’t miss this massive display. Ellie’s also presses their own cider so be sure to stop in the shop for some cider & apples, while you are there!

‘Festival of Pumpkins’ – Hundreds of glowing jack-o’-lanterns light the way for ghouls, ghosts and goblins –and other costumed characters–at this Halloween and trick-or-treat kickoff. Festivities begin at dusk. Friday, October 30, 7PM at Smith Park in Winooski. Free.

Queen City Ghostwalk - Adventurous souls stretch their legs around Burlington’s downtown, hearing haunted history and spine-tingling tales. Meet on the back steps of Burlington City Hall. Friday, October 30, 7PM at Burlington City Hall Park in Burlington. $13; call for reservations.

‘The Haunted Forest’ – Good-natured thrills and chills await visitors at this volunteer-run, too-scary-for-tots take on outdoor theater. (A tamed-down matinee version enthralls kids 7 and under at 11 a.m., noon and 1 p.m. on Saturday, October 24 and 31.) Friday, October 30: 7PM, 8PM, 9PM at Catamount Outdoor Family Center in Williston. $8.50-$12.50

.

As for October 31st itself..

The Lost Nation Theater in Montpelier presents the Edgar Allen Poe Spooktacular Benefit. From their site, “It’s spooky-kooky fun with that Master of the Macabre, Edgar Allan Poe.
