So I have more than once discussed the wonderful advantage of machinery in cooking. This post is an elaboration based on one of the gifts that I got for Christmas. Spoiler: It was a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. Now I feel that I should stress that this mixer is a used item that was significantly … Continue reading Cooking and Machinery

Spreading Holiday Cheer
This post is going to be a bit short but it is important to keeping writing. So today's topic is spreading holiday cheer. You may remember an earlier post by me that discussed making treats with electricity (see post here). It was in that post that I talked about how much easier it was to … Continue reading Spreading Holiday Cheer
Holiday Treats Via Electricity
Now I have mentioned before the amazing capacity of electricity when it comes to cooking. It allows us to complete tasks that we would not have even considered without it. For example, over the course of a few weekends I am making holiday treats for friends and family. Mind you, most of them have no … Continue reading Holiday Treats Via Electricity
Ambitious Cooking Projects
I don't know how many of my readers have attempted extensive or ambitious cooking projects. I seem to have set for myself a rather ambitious baking project for myself. In summary, I plan on creating possibly six different types of sweets for multiple people. Keeping in mind of course, that I am only experienced in … Continue reading Ambitious Cooking Projects
Cooking in Casserole Dishes
Perhaps I should start out by stating that I love my ceramic casserole dishes. I love that you can cook in them and then when they cool down enough, I can put them directly into the refrigerator without having to get out another container. While I only have two casserole dishes, I am longing for … Continue reading Cooking in Casserole Dishes
Buying Food at a Day, Week, or Year
Recently, I have been buying my groceries once a month rather than the weekly that I was doing before. At the moment, I am trying to determine if it would be reasonable to buy a dehydrator and dehydrate a years worth of onions, peppers, and other veggies. I just thought about how this proposition relies … Continue reading Buying Food at a Day, Week, or Year

Another that I wish to discuss is the sheer satisfaction of eating something that you cooked and that tastes wonderful. I had one of these lovely experiences this past weekend making cheesecake. If you have … Continue reading Cooking Makes Life Glorious
Technology in the Kitchen
I feel that sometimes we forget that certain foods rely upon modern technology. With some foods that can be rather obvious. After all, modern technology gave us TV dinners and other frozen foods. I am talking about foods that have existed for a long time but have become more commonplace because of modern technology. Any … Continue reading Technology in the Kitchen
Experimenting with Cooking
It seems that even when you are experienced with cooking a particular food, you can still mess it up. For example, this past weekend I tried cooking brown rice and then mix it with a can of lentils. I have never cooked brown rice before but I apparently failed miserably because I really didn't like … Continue reading Experimenting with Cooking
Food as Comfort
I think that many people today are aware of the comfort that food can provide. I just want to add my piece. This past Easter Sunday, I made myself a dinner of roast pork shoulder with onions, green bean casserole, corn, cranberry sauce, and stuffing/dressing. I should probably explain that this massive meal is just … Continue reading Food as Comfort
