Just a few of the dishes we have cooked.

Post pictures from around your home to let others see your perspective...

No Knead Bread Whilst spooking (Halloween's coming) around some sites, blogs, etc., I discovered a "one-pot" version of Jim Lahey's No Knead Bread. This version belongs to Jacques Pepin (a favorite TV cook of mine) from his "More Fast Food My Way" cookbook. Fall/Winter is hitting the SW with...

Velkommen I'm not sure that's spelled correctly; but WELCOME anyway. I'm relatively new myself, but there's a lot of fun to be had here!:w00t:

ENG34: Thanks for the smile today, I needed it! P...

Cooking for 18 Chloe: Packing a More Healthful School Lunchbox - Well Blog - NYTimes.com You got a job there, for sure. Take some inspiration from this small article with just a few suggestions and try to run with other links in the health and then in the cooking section. Things can take...

Congrats!!! Best to the whole family. I've got 2 grandsons and those guys have got their grandad wrapped, and we didn't even mention grandma. Guess what - today is also grandparents day!!! Let's congratulate ourselves. Enjoy yourself now, then your trip to see the family later...

Welcome! TxYankee: I'm a newbie myself, but someone experienced in the meat processing industry should be a plus for all of us. :pig: That goes for our other little friend, Mr. Smiley Pink.

Claire: You sound innovative, and I appreciate that in a cook. Kudos:cool:

No problem, glad to concur. Our household is just "two," so I try to keep things small. :wink:Pennsy

Ditto SS: I've made the demi-glace reduced it down and froze it in ice cube trays. Works great and you got good stuff, even if it is a good deal of work. Nice work for a winter's kitchen adventure.:chef:

Correction Received I sit corrected! No contest, Ms. Moulton was and is a busy lady no matter how/where/when she started. She was an early featured cook on FNTV when I first started watching. The Food Network programs featuring the big crowds, bands and the hoopla of the Emeril ilk got me...

Ah, Engineering! Goodweed: Delightful message! I'm married to an electrical engineer, and an ex-navy man (retired). A few years ago, when I got a new Viking stove, he ventured into the kitchen, which for many years was my exclusive domain. He had to try the stove! The stove is gone, but...

OneNote Msmofet: Your description of the OneNote software is interesting. I looked at your description/posting, then did a Google search to see its installation requirements. Although ON is something I might enjoy playing with some time, it's limited to PC usage, being part of the Microsoft...

More... Chiffonade & Co. I think I mentioned before that Julia Child's biography "Appetite For Life," by Noel Riley Fitch is superb. Some time ago a friend of mine saw me reading it during a trip to the gym. She thought the book would be boring, WRONG; on the contrary, I found it utterly...

History I worked to clean out demo kitchen fridges full of fishy smells, mopped floors, etc. Other duties included set-up for various classes, assisting teachers at/during classes, to gain my own class time. I wasn't a paying student, and these tasks were accomplished at a small culinary...

Knives I've got a tote bag that's outfitted with things to take on any time share vacation. None of the timeshare units are outfitted exactly the same, sometimes, there are no hot pads, and often the pans are only workable. So, I often tote 3 knives, some hot pads, extra spatulas. I've never...

Sara moulton FYI Everyone: Not sure if Sara Moulton actually got bumped off FNTV or quit(?), but she went on to maybe greater stuff?!! Check out the masthead of GOURMET Magazine, I checked their current issue of September 2009. For some time now she has been and is the Executive Chef of the...

Freezing? Now that's something I've never done...freezing the starter. Wow, maybe I'll try that one. Dunno why that never occurred to me - maybe because I've not had an experience with someone who has done it! Good idea, what can I lose? I've got a whole lot more starter than a cup or two...

Halt (Unless you don't want to)! Re: the starter question: I think I've found some possibilities which I'll give a whirl, bread sticks. I plan to rework the size of one recipe I've got, and try to use up some of the starter. Thanks for listening folks, but jump in anyway, maybe, you have...

Ya'll: A challenge of sorts for you experts out there! I'm throwing down the gauntlet. Yesterday I fed what I thought was my dormant "starter" or fermentation, as Nancy Silverton calls it. It is a home starter which I created moons ago from grapes, flour, and not much else but airborne...

OSK and LadyCook: I'd almost forgotten that. We used to enjoy all the surrounding area of Allentown. I once thought I'd like to live there. Got some great food around Kutztown, wasn't there a State Teachers College there? Good luck with your business, OSK! Maybe some time we'll get back...

Hi again OSK: I was born and raised in the Anthracite Coal Country around Frackville, St. Clair, Pottsville, PA. No family there anymore, but lots of nostalgia regarding PA. Beautiful country in and around Allentown, close to Mushroom Country. I used to love to shop at Hess's department...

The Barbecued Pizza Guys: I promised photos of my Pizza on the "Barby." Pizza turned out really well, although it turned out to be a free form type, certainly not round. The photos are on the Group Photos section under cooking. I started out covering the dough with minimal herb tomato sauce...
