This is a good idea!
Sleuthy names might not quite work, though...:)

I have to say I originally got the idea from Lady Emerald Devon.I had gone on her detective page to congratulate her on her sleuth b-day and seen on her bio a recipe.I then talked to Autumnsprings and with her urging talked to Ben and Sunny.So I have to give them credit and help for this idea.

as the former personal cook for nero wolfe, i fritz brenner, prefer simple
foods and not the shad roe i had to make for mr. wolff. may i suggest for
a winter meal bratwurst and cabbage. for a family of four you get a large
kettle. pour in two cans of pre-made chicken broth. put in 4 to 6 russet
potatoes ( depending on size of appetite ) which of course are peeled and
cut into chunks ( quicker cooking requires smaller pieces. ) when the potatoes are done you put in either a half cabbabe ( tore up in small
pieces or a whole cabbage ( again depending on appetite ) and put in
sliced bratwurst ( two links -- find them in any major food market deli ). cook for 5 minutes more only. serve with rye bread and butter. simple.
very cheap. very quick. mmmm. now what name ? aha, FRITZ BRENNER'S BRATWURST.

I think we should just start posting our recipes here. I'll start us off with a nice fall recipe:
Sunny’s Butternut Squash Soup
With Pumpkin Seed Oil
1 medium – large butternut squash
olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cups chicken or veggie broth
2 cups water
½ tsp cayenne pepper (or more)
1 tbs dried thyme
2 bay leaves
dash each of nutmeg and cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
pumpkin seed oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the butternut in half and remove the seeds. Rub the meat side of each half with olive oil. Place in a baking dish with about 2 inches of water. Cover and bake until soft. Dunno how long that is – depends on the size of your squash.
When the squash is almost done, sauté the garlic, onion, and celery in olive oil until the onion is translucent. Add the broth, water, and spices, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the squash by scooping it out of the skin and into the broth. Simmer for about 10 min.
Remove the bay leaves and ladle the soup into a blender or food processor and puree.
To serve, ladle into bowls and drizzle about a tbs of pumpkin seed oil on top. The oil is very heavy, so it may disappear into the soup if you pour it too fast.

Yum! I'd make that for sure. The squash says 'Winter's a - comin ...and the sizzling oil says "it'll pass".
Excellent idea, shannon - I'll post one when I can think of a sleuthworthy one, for sure.

When I am deciding what to eat for dinner, I like to have a drink. So until I can think of a real recipe, here are instructions on drinking, sushi style:
Go to store that sells Sake.
Buy two bottles, preferably the same kind.
Bring bottles home.
Close window blinds so neighbors can't see your debauchery.
Open one bottle.
Open other bottle.
Grab one bottle with your paw...i mean hand.
Grab other bottle with another paw, preferably not a hind one...oh wait, i mean hand.
Lift bottles to mouth and start chugging.
Let the thinking commence!
Kanpai!
