Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumI'm so excited.
On January 2nd, I turned the key on my Mazda 5 minivan and the engine made a peculiar noise. It turned out that peculiar sound was the engine blowing its seals, and basically dying. I owed two years plus of payments. The next day, January 3rd, I bought a Ford Focus and three days later, I got rear-ended in a hit-and-run and as it happens, enough damage happened that it was totaled. I had to refinance my house to get out of the financial burden I was under, and it turns out that refinancing your house takes a LONG time.
What's this about? When I refinanced my plan was to buy a new oven. My old one had a gas leak, and i wasn't able to actually get one until today. I finally, after well over a year, have a working oven. Tonight I made baked potatoes au gratin with sage pork sausage, and it was yummy.
So now I can bake again, and there are dozens of things I want to make which I finally can make, but I can't make them all at once. I want to make cookies, breaded pork tenderloin, crustless quiche, pork potato pie and biscuits & gravy. And so many more.
I am almost giddy!

(1,109 posts)I'm a cook. Chefs are fancy. Chefs are as much managers as cooks. I will never win an award. I will never boss other cooks around.
But I'll feed ya, and you'll push yourself away from the table with satisfaction.

Do you have enough parking in your yard for 7,800 cars ?
What did you say your address was again ? Would 5-ish pm on Sunday be a good time/day for you ?
