The Chopping Block Cooking Lab Series Day 3 “Getting Saucy”
Of all the classes I read about in The Chopping Block’s Cooking Lab, I knew I was going to be “fond” of class number 3. It was all about developing flavors and understanding the roles emulsifiers, thickeners and starches play in some of my favorite things like sauces, soups and vinaigrettes. I knew this was …
National Grilled Cheese Month
Hooray! It is starting to feel like spring. The birds are chirping like crazy, the grass is greening up and rumor has it there are some baby bunnies hopping around our neighborhood. (I can’t wait to see the bunnies!) Another big sign of spring is seeing all the stuff you should have gotten done around …
The Chopping Block Cooking Lab (Techniques in Cooking Meats, Poultry, Fish and Veggies)
Have you ever done a jigsaw puzzle? Do you look at the picture on the box, study the design and think about the pieces? Or do you just dump the box on the table, find the edges and think of the picture components as you go along? I have always been a box dumper and …
The Birthday Blog
No matter how I look at it…today I am 44. When I had my last birthday, I must say I didn’t feel much like celebrating. We had just lost Shadoe and I didn’t know how I was going to recover from that pain. I think of it now like a skinned knee with an old …
The Chopping Block Cooking Lab (Flavor)
I have lost count of how many classes I have taken at The Chopping Block over the years. Usually the class has a distinct theme (Thai, Julia Child, Pasta) and an exciting experience of cooking and eating fills my evening. Last night, I went to my first of four Cooking Lab Classes and I knew …
Where Do Chicken Babies Come From?
It is that time of year….deviled egg season. When I started to create this year’s variations, I had to admit something to myself. I don’t know where chicken babies come from. One of our friends brought me 2 dozen beautiful, fresh farm eggs. Talk about authentic…they still had hay and poop on them! (The poop …
Are You Gonna Quiche Me Or Not?
It is funny how things change over time. Behavior that is normal in one decade may be deemed abnormal the next. My grandparent’s generation had very definite roles for men and women. Women were the caregivers and men were bringing home the bacon. My parents generation started to change the roles with women fighting for …
A Writer’s Bacon Block
I’ve got writer’s block. I keep sitting at my computer and I type a few paragraphs, reread it and then delete. It seems relevant as I type but then I hear a little singsong voice in my head going “booooring.” (I really hate that voice.) I think the reason I’m mentally obstructed is that I …
Luck O’ The Leftovers
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Did you get your fill of corned beef and cabbage? It seems like this year St. Patrick’s “Day” went on for weeks. People seemed to have started the o’chatter very early. (See how I added the o’ to make it more Irish?) I actually find the holiday really amusing because most …
