Very timely! I out of photos for the day because my batteries in my camera died again.
I’m probably going to have to break down and buy a new set of rechargeable batteries. Why? Because I misplaced my 2nd set or lost them??!!
So here goes Cooking Meme tagged by Christine
The rules:
1) Answer all the questions honestly.
2) Tag at least three people.
When was the most recent time you were burned?
If you mean an annoying “ouch” burn - popping popcorn just the other day. If you mean a real honest-to- goodness blister burn it was making a frosting a few months back that used a boiled sugar syrup. Now that hurt for days!
Can you cook?
I can! Cooking is a minor passion with baking being first. Though I’m what I consider a edible cook since almost everything I do cook is fairly basic and not experimental. (Except on experimental recipe night in which case it is also “backup meal in the fridge” night!)
If yes, name your specialties (three max.)
Buttered Chicken, ginger lentils and flatbread
Country Beans and Ham Stew with Cornbread
Chicken and Dumpling Stew
If yes, do you like to cook?
Yes! I take pleasure in the cooking itself! So not only do I enjoy the food I make, I enjoy the process itself. I am plagued with children who eat from three main groups: pasta, nuggets and crackers. Therefore when I cook it is for myself and my dear hubby.
If no, do you want to be able to cook?
See above.
What color is your kitchen?
Orange, Cream with walnut colored wood.
Do you bake?
Often!
If yes, specialties (max 3)
Oatmeal Cookies
Dorothy Bars
Carrot Muffins
If yes, do you like to bake?
Yes! Baking is where I experiment the most when in the kitchen. I’m often altering recipes with interesting results. Sometimes my alterations don’t work so well but when it does it’s fantastic!
If no, do you want to bake?
See above!
What color is your apron?
I have several but my favorite is black. A friends asked me once if I wear an apron all the time. My response was “If I want my clothes to stay clean I do!” My confession here is this is a necessity for me because I am a compulsive “jeans wiper” if I don’t have an apron or at a minimum a dishcloth my jeans will inevitably be utilized.
I tag (should they want to play) Evil Mommy, Not Jenny and Lynanne!

Sure! Maybe I’ll feel a little less down…

When I answered the apron question I almost put “I just wipe my hands on my clothes” but didn’t want to offend anyone that’s ever eaten my cooking- I’m a compulsive hand washer when I do cook. My big pet peeve is people wiping their non-clean hands on the kitchen towels! (that would be the men and children in my family)
Thanks for playing!

I’m a jeans wiper too, and like Christine am compulsive about hand washing when working with meat or eggs. But the jeans get everything else. Strangely, I’ve never even considered an apron.
