Not a cook?!! Maybe a baker? Definitely an Olympic-worthy left-over warmer...
I told Cyndi that I would need to write for that category! Yes, that's me--that I had the inspiration for a dish was miraculous. It was even a thrill to shop for the ingredients and picture myself, oh so chef-like, putting the ingredients together, spending hours in the kitchen enjoying the creativity and the smells and then when it came to that first bite...
I realized ...chef-like? Was I crazy, I could win "Not Top Chef"! It wasn't all I dreamed it would be and I wouldn't be rushing home to MY leftovers. In fact, I knew I would be desperately snagging money from my "I thought I might get a vacation" fund in my meager budget to buy food I would actually look forward to eating.
It's really bad when you won't even eat your own cooking!! Me...write for this blog? Well, even the worst of cooks eventually hit on recipes that are YUM enough to be remembered and just can't be messed up...I promise I'll bring you those, unless I throw in a Caviar Pomegranate Pot Pie recipe just to see if you remember I don't claim to be a cook!!
Now I have been known to pull off some baking and make a good batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies on occasion-don't snicker- I haven't always loved mine, but they do get eaten. Even a chewy cookie that gets hard in a day is great dunked in milk or coffee!!!
Maxine, you were fabulous and brave to video blog (10/7)...Rachael Ray's a little nervous. Luv Chocolate Chip Cookies & Ghirardelli's, but hmmm...I wondered why I didn't see Cyndi & the kids eating bites of cookie dough and then I noticed you kept the bowl quite close to you. Were you sneaking bites when no one was looking?! HaHa! I usually eat so many spoonfuls that I don't have room for the cooked ones and I learned on Top Chef that the chef always tries the food before it goes out!!
Cyndi, your list of utensils and bakeware was so helpful (10/9), but are you sure I need to buy Thongs to cook with? I don't think Pampered Chef has expanded their line to lingerie or pampering their chefs that much! Are you sure you want people to know that much about your cooking style? You funny, Cyndi, you funny!!
Thanks to Cyndi for the invite to write.
My first blog ever was great fun--looking forward to more & yes you can pick on me, too...
