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

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
Substitution into Creation
At some point substitution becomes creation. This past week, I was craving a creamy, spicy pasta. Now I originally wanted shrimp pasta but I didn't have any shrimp and I didn't think that I would find some in the grocery store. I will be honest, I didn't really want to visit the grocery store. So … Continue reading Substitution into Creation

A trail from person to person, Connections of creators. Step into another land, country, place, and mindset. Inspire to greater heights, And to keep from falling lows. Grasp a piece of a life and time not your own. Explore their view, And bring back a souvenir, Of thought or inspiration. Use these trinkets to decorate … Continue reading Poem: Ornaments of Existence
Remember the Ingredients
So, I tend to do my grocery shopping on Friday night or Saturday morning. I buy the ingredients I need for the coming week. Well, usually I buy the ingredients for the coming week. Except sometimes I forget to buy something by not remembering to put it on my shopping list. I use the store's … Continue reading Remember the Ingredients

There are some recipes that are classics for different cultures. These foods tend to become the stereotypical food for those cultures, even if the food comes from a smaller portion of the population. Some great examples would be steak and kidney pie or paella or even biriyani. So these foods are pretty well known within … Continue reading Trying Old Recipes in New Ways
