Cook books--what's your favorite?
Comments (22)I was a bit of a fanatic for a few years when I finally got interested in cooking...I too haunted the library and bookstores for cookbooks. But then I ran across a marvelous book, "Impromptu Cooking" by Glenn Andrews. In it, she describes how she went from a strictly "follow the recipe" cook to one who can wing it. And best of all, encouraged me to try. I reread her book often...(she does include recipes and variations) but mostly for inspiration. First, you have to get all the basics of course, (and a favorite along those lines was, for me, Rene Verdon's "French Cooking for the American Table" for the "why" of things. I've still got quite a few cookbooks, but I've quit acquiring new ones ...or if I do succumb, pass it along after reading. Enjoy the Cooking Forum here and several other sites to get my "reading recipes" kicks nowadays. josh...See MoreAre you ready to mail your watering can?
Comments (20)I got the email and I'm going to be one of the late ones..but with the kids moving at the same time, I actually had to pack up all the supplies and go to a place I could work alone, without distractions.. downtown, to a grocery store, where there's a loft like place, that some people go for lunch and watch sail boats in the inlet.. there's a marina and a small deli below, so upstairs are about a dozen tables and chairs.. it's a really awesome place to either have lunch or just sit and watch the seagulls and boats.. I sat there for 6 hours one time, when I took a "self divorce" packet and prepared my own papers.. then shot up to the court house and turned them in to the clerk..lol that was back in '97 the view is still the same up there but the room itself is highly upgraded. it used to have a little corner where there was a microwave and sink. now, it's all professionally decorated and they teach cooking classes in the evenings..it looks like a bona-fide French chef kitchen, with cherry wood cabinets and the finest ovens and counter tops.. wow..but that's my place to get away and finish the can lol and to admit here, that I am also late in sending in the postage for the can...I'm not gonna sluff on that..just be late in it, too... I wonder if I was late being born..hmmm no one ever said!...See MoreHow do I BLOCK and incoming e-mail
Comments (6)Do you mean block all his emails? There should be the option in Outlook Express to do this. In Windows Mail you go to "Tools" on your email window, scroll down to "Junk Email Options", find "Blocked Senders" and "Add", then add his email....See MoreWhat Is Cooking In Your Kitchen Again?
Comments (34)Thanks for the recommendation about the zucchini. I do think I would like the flavor of it in that dish, but I agree that it might be too watery. Dorie also suggested turnips in place of the butternut squash, and I do love turnips and think they would not be too watery, but the flavor might be a bit strong for that recipe. I think zucchini would go better with the spice mixture. Yesterday we grilled outdoors, to take advantage of the nice weather while we have it, since it is supposed to rain Wednesday and Thursday. The main thing I wanted to grill was my chocolate Habanero chilies for my annual sauce. I ended up getting a very good crop this year and will have enough sauce to give some away as gifts. I grill garlic and red bell pepper with the chilies - the bell pepper to make the sauce go a bit further and cut the heat a tiny bit. Last year I grilled a carrot with the chilies, but I didn't have room in the grill pans this year. We grilled some locally made sausage from Bristol Farms plus some marinated mushrooms and garlic toast. The grill got hotter than expected, and so the sausage came out a bit dry, but I ate it with the mushrooms, which provided the right amount of moisture....See Morehappy2b…gw
