Anyone wanna do a WTF cooking night?

Now that I've got enough recipes on this blog that I'm actually adding recipes to months whose menus I have already started (!), I was wondering about organizing a monthly WTF cooking night . . .

So, do you wanna help me see if these recipes are any good?  Get in touch with me (my e-mail is werd2thenerd@yahoo.com, I'm on Facebook as Grok Hussein Amiri, Livejournal and Twitter as tristissima, and you might very well also have my or my house's phone number!)  The first ones to do so essentially get to pick the day/time/place!

Oh, and I'm thinking that this would make a wonderful monthly event, if folk are interested . . .

Cinnamon-Corn-Maple Applesauce

Serves 8 (serving size: about 1 cup)

½ cup maple syrup

¼ cup water

4 cups chopped peeled apple (about 4 medium apples)

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon canola oil

¼ cup unpopped popcorn kernels

2 tablespoons maple sugar

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

1. Combine syrup and water in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Add apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg; cover and cook over medium-low heat 25 minutes or until tender. Mash apples with a potato masher. Cook, uncovered, 15 minutes.
2. Add oil to apple mixture; increase heat to medium-high. Add popcorn, sugar, and salt to pan; cover and cook 3 minutes or until kernels begin to pop, stirring frequently. Continue cooking 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. When popping slows down, remove pan from heat. Let stand, covered, until all popping stops.
