In the Kitchen



So I've decided that once a week I'll have a post about cooking and food. While this isn't a blog devoted to food, I do devote a good deal of time to cooking. While I enjoy cooking for myself, there is something so utterly lovely about making food for others. If I offer to make something for you, that means I like you and if I like you, feel very honored.

I love the hum of running around my own kitchen but also enjoy the adventure of a new kitchen. Have recipes will travel is my motto. On a recent trip to Bristol my friend's Mom handed the kitchen over to me and I made the Sunday 'roast'. It was so exhilarating to see them going for seconds!

This week my menu includes pork, apple, fennel, and cabbage stew served with basmati rice; plum cobbler; chicken marinaded in lemon juice and oregano; whole wheat pasta with a garlic and Parmesan sauce; pecan and chocolate chip cake; and a ground turkey and cheddar cheese quiche. The last two items are a birthday treat for my cousin. There are a few birthdays coming up including mine and I'm looking to experiment; so we'll see what I get up to next week.

Happy Eating!
