no soup for me
Jan. 5th, 2009 07:27 pmI thought I would try to make potato-leek soup.
After chopping the leeks, I'm nauseated.
First homemade dinner effort - failure.

Why yes, little squeak kitty, I am aware that there is a pot of boiling water on the stove with a chicken in it.
Yes. A chicken. In the pot. On the stove.
Right now.
Your outburst of tiny squeaks is noted.

Williams-Sonoma free technique classes
Jan. 30th, 2008 04:45 pmFor the Little Rock locals:
Another round of W/S free Sunday morning technique classes began a couple of weeks ago (last Sunday's class was chili), but I just saw the list yesterday. This Sunday's theme is Chocolate. The 10th is stocks. The 17th is soups. The 24th is one pot meals. Usually the sign-up lists are at the counter, next to the stove. The classes usually last an hour (from 11 to 12, but don't just trust my memory) and there's food to nibble at the end of the class.
roast chicken experience
Oct. 28th, 2007 08:25 pmThanks to TallGirl, I'm roasting a locally-grown all-natural chicken.
I've washed it, rubbed butter all over it, salt/peppered it, and chopped the garlic and shallots that I stuffed inside it. For the first time, I got a little burning-teary eye while chopping the shallots. I've never had the onion tear effect. Food Network is telling me to roast it for 45 minutes before kicking up the temperature for the final bit.
Lucky for me, I got an instant read thermometer (and a digital food scale, microplane spice grater, and a round cake pan) at Williams-Sonoma, so I can make sure that the chicken is done before I turn off the oven.
I found a couple of recipes for the spaghetti squash in my CSA basket. I think I'll try it tomorrow evening. I'm too tired to do it tonight. Especially if I'm going to make a pumpkin layer cake.
