A day in the kitchen...

Last month, Russ and I spent a Saturday in the kitchen. We made bread, mozzarella cheese, and pasta. I can't wait to do it again! Enjoy the pics.

Honest to Blog-I Cooked!

CHOW:

Everyone that knows me knows that I am useless in the kitchen. Well, not true, I'm good at eating in the kitchen.

The problem I have with cooking is I feel stressed to get it done by a certain time, or the amount of time it takes to cook. So... I'd rather not eat at all. I know, bad.

But I took some free time post-finals to try my hand at stirring and measuring. Here is what I made:




What: Carmel-apple Pork Chops (I don't eat chicken).
Review:
Chow: Awesome!
Russ: Tasty.


What: Mushroom and Asparagus Cous-cous with a Pistachio-vinaigrette Sauce

Review:

Chow: Like multiple flavor explosion in your mouth. Tasty.

Russ: Crunchy.

What: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (Thanks to Stacy for the recipe!)

Review:

Chow: I think I at 25. They were so good!

Russ: Squishy

Then on Sunday, the real chef in the family stepped into the kitchen (Russ)

What: Potato Cheese Soup in Bread Bowls (All HOMEMADE!)

Review:

Chow: Classic greatness. Great comfort food to recover from law school.

Russ: Subtly delectable. But the bowls were a little heavy. The soup was good.

And that's our food from last week!

Who will help me eat the bread?

Fresh out of the oven and ready for some butter...

I've wanted to make these since I got the new mixer. . . Homemade
marshmellows. They turned out way better than I thought they would.
Now it time for some hot cocoa.
