Heh. MTF means something entirely different in the circles I run in.

Here's one from my own "must try" file:

Thai Coconut Pumpkin Soup
Serves 4-6

You need:
Vegetable oil
2 onions
1 chilli (optional)
2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste.
1 kg pumpkin
4 potatoes
2 carrots
750 ml chicken stock
50 ml fish sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 lime
Fresh Coriander - chopped
Cocounut Milk (to swirl when serve)

Method:
Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan with the diced onion and
chilli,
add the Thai red curry paste, and cook until onions are softened.
Place the peeled, diced pumpkin, potatoes and carrots in a saucepan or
pressure cooker, add the cooked onions and the chicken stock.
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 20 min until very soft, faster
in a
pressure cooker. (in the PC is takes 10 minutes)
Allow to cool a little then add chopped coraiander and blend until
smooth. Season to taste with fish sauce, brown sugar and limejuice.

At this point you can continue or it can be left to develop the
flavour
overnight in the refrigerator.

To serve: warm in the microwave or in a saucepan and drizzle with
coconut milk

The original recipe sounds better to me. I'd only use thyme, s & p
and I wouldn't use butter (I'd use EVOO instead).

FYI: I can buy decent EVOO inexpensively here, so cost isn't a factor.

We've been really into Mustard Butter Roasted Potatoes lately.

Take about 6 T of butter, softened. Blend in about 4 T of whole grain
mustard, 1 T chopped parsley, 1 T honey, 1/2 t black pepper. Toss with
potaotes to coat evenly before roasting.

These are reallllllllly good!

I didn't have any thyme, nor marjoram. I'm also something of an
herb virgin -- I know little about them or what taste to expect,
so I tend to chicken out on using them. I need to start experimenting,
but right now I'm just happy I want to cook again -- when I get
depressed, all I do is eat junk. :-(

It's kind of spendy here, so I tend to just forget I have it...

Thyme and marjoram are herbs that are perfectly fine in the dried
form. Thyme is my favorite herb for meat.

Why the cost comment... butter ain't cheap ya know, butter can easily
cost as much if not more than decent extra virgin olive oil. A pound
of butter equals 12 oz (1 1/2 cups) of olive oil.

http://www.goodcooking.com/conversions/butt_oil.htm

And I wouldn't use EVOO to roast potatoes anyway, why pay a premium for
olive oil because it was not exposed to heat and then roast it, at
425?F yet! duh When I want the flavor of EVOO on my roast potatoes I
drizzle some on *after* roasting. It's very, very stupid to heat
quality olive oil... just as dumb as putting on perfume and then
bathing... oh.

It's silly to cook with a quality prepared mustard, the heat removes
the bite and transforms the flavor, and not to the better, plus if
mixed with all those other ingredients the original mustard is beyond
diluted... it's like choosing top shelf whisky for a sour. If you cook
with mustard that's fine, but then blend in some powdered or crushed
mustard seeds with all your other ingredients. Of course if you're
talking that $1.39/qt store brand deli mustard then go for it.

In the recipe above that is NOT cooking, that's like rug rat finger
painting... the clue is any recipe that begins "Take".

Of course not, that would be a felonious act.

I agree that rosemary is great with potatoes, especially new
potatoes... however, I have a rosemary bush next to the house so dried
is never part of the equation for me. I've read here that dried
rosemary is like pins and needles - not true?

Well, I DO use EVOO to roast my potatoes in and I don't like greasy
potatoes, so I don't "drizzle" in on afterward.

I crumble dried rosemary in my fingers, Between crumbling, heat
and cooking moisture, that seems
to deal with any issues. I don't
notice any unpleasant texture,

I had dinner last week at a Portland
(OR) restaurant. The side dish was a rosemary (I assume fresh) flavored
potato dish. Very heavy hand with the rosemary - enough to be
unpleasant. Otherwise a nice meal.

Sorry Barry, I've been away -- in any case, I think whites would work
okay. IIRC, they have that same firm texture, unlike russets...
