Made amazing brown stock---now how to show it off?
I made that last month (it was VERY much worth it) but you've reminded me of Smitten Kitchen Deb's mushroom bourguignon. I printed that out ages ago and now would be the perfect time!

Do you mean to use it to make a jus? That could be really tasty.
Made amazing brown stock---now how to show it off?
I spent a week tracking down ingredients and then making the classic brown stock from Jacques Pépin's Complete Techniques (for a city that's all about beef, I had a hard time finding veal bones in Omaha).
I already made scalloped potatoes that used stock instead of cream and they were incredibly meaty and full-bodied.
Risotto is next on the list.
What other recipes will showcase the stock? (I do not want to do consommé!)
Drip or Percolator?
I love my Technivorm!
Fill it with filtered water, some fresh-ground beans (I have a KitchenAid burr grinder -- great for drip coffee & press pot grinds) and watch the coffee goodness come out. We use a SwissGold filter instead of paper; the metal filter allows more oils to flow through. And the thermal carafe means no more baked coffee.
We bought ours from Sweet Maria's:

They have a great explanation at that link and a tip sheet to get the best coffee out of your Technivorm:

Online recipes/websites you trust
I tend to frequent food blogs instead; once you find someone who shares your taste, you can trust almost anything they make.
When I'm looking for a specific recipe, I often check http://foodblogsearch.com/ .
What to do with candied ginger
I've diced candied ginger and mixed the pieces into muffin batter and pancakes--sprinkle them into the batter after you've poured the pancake on the pan.
You can also infuse vodka. Squeeze half a cup of chopped candied ginger into a bottle of vodka let it sit in the freezer for a few days.
