What was the first meal you cooked in your new kitchen?
Comments (18)The first thing I want to cook in my new kitchen is Popovers Alton Brown made them one night on his show and it amazed me how something so simple and runny could come out so beautiful...LOL So the next night I went to Williams-Sonoma and bought a popover pan. It is the only thing in my cabinet so far. I'll be sure to take pictures and maybe hang it on the wall like they hang the first dollar in a new business.

Comments (36)OK Celine, after the whole foods parking lot video, I just will never think of quinoa the same way. Though I'll know how to pronounce it: rhymes with "bra". As it turns out, we crawled into the chocolate chip and pancakes camp. I've yet to make the granola. But dd1 insisted on making spice bars for a school potluck (to which I'm not invited? wha?) and dd2 needed to make choc chip cookies (though this hardly needed baking as all she wanted was the raw dough in truth) and there were some rotting bananas that I had to make into banana bread. Then it was father's day so verbotten meat (lamb) got roasted and eggs had to be scrambled because life without scrambled eggs is pretty close to a life not worth living....Last night, like mnerg, we actually had pancakes (p. 357, Diet 4 Sm Planet) for dinner; that's how syrup-starved we all were. We've been busy here today! And the other night we did the obligatory paper-on-the-cc-burner to great acclaim. The young, strapping hungry hombres just-back from the field had to settle on outdoor-grilled food because I couldn't quite tackle the new indoor beast at the time, but we all enjoyed the simmer-road-show. But truthfully, the very first thing that got made? It was boiled water for pasta. Isn't that pathetic? The second was to stew up some inedibly sour fruit. Funny how plebeian cooking turns out to be. Recipe for green chile stew? Here's for spice bars: boil 1 cp water and 1 cp raisins, remove from heat, stir in 1/2 cp apple sauce (or oil) and let cool; add 1/2 c sugar before all the way cool. Stir in 1 egg when cool. Sift tog dry ingred and add to wet above: 1.75 cp ww pastry flour, 3/4 t salt, 1/2 t cloves, 1 t soda, 1 t cinnamon, 1 t nutmeg (opt: chopped walnuts, 1 t allspice(ick)). Bake 20 min in 13x7x2 pan @ 375. When cool frost w/butter-cream: 2 cp confect sugar, 1/4 cp butter, 1 T milk, 1 t vanilla....See MoreWhat Is Cooking in Your Kitchen ?
Comments (49)Well, tonight I had one of those, for me, quite rare flashes of brilliance. I was getting ready to make my roasted chicken in my graniteware roaster like I have hundreds of times. Problem with it is that even when I spray it and then put in olive oil, chicken inevitably sticks. So I was getting the chicken out of the fridge and happened on a bunch of collard greens I meant to cook a week ago. They were a little dried out but not too bad. Light bulb - I lined the bottom of the roaster with the greens. Not only did the chicken not stick but the greens tasted pretty darn good!...See MoreWhat is Cooking In Your Kitchen?
Comments (53)I had a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer and I decided to make shrimp scampi with linguine. I already made some slaw and I also had some homemade pita bread today to make some garlic toast to go with it. I made the pita bread to have with my second batch of goat cheese that I made today. I'd never made pita bread (or flatbread for that matter) and I made this one on the stove-top in an iron skillet. The next time I make it I'm going to try baking it in the oven. I do this kind of experimental cooking when I'm tired of quilting or cleaning, etc. and there's no life out there anyway so I cook....See MoreMarilyn Sue McClintock
