I'm a country girl but I love upscale cooking. Experimenting in the kitchen is so much fun for me...I wish I could do it as a job. It wouldn't be work, it would be play! I love sneaking ingredients that people say they don't like into food and watch them eat and enjoy it! The expressions on their faces are priceless when I tell them what's in it. Fun! Fun! Fun! I am a substitute teacher because it makes it easy to travel. If Scott's company sends him somewhere, I can go too without losing personal time off. I love learning new things like crafts or a new trade or a new way of cooking. I also love to teach so I can share what I've learned.
I made an entire Asian dinner completely from scratch using some of the spices and ingredients I brought back from a trip to Malaysia. I made a pork stir-fry with fried rice, chicken/shrimp egg rolls and wonton soup. Everything was hand-made (even the wontons) and it was delicious. I haven't done it since - it was a big task!
I was making a big dinner for some foster kids. Roasted Chicken, Potato Casserole, Carrots and homemade rolls. I picked up the huge platter of chicken to take to the dining room and it slipped out of my hands and shattered all over the kitchen floor. What a mess! My dog was happy but I was in tears. After cleaning it up, the children and I enjoyed a dinner of Potato Casserole, Carrots and Homemade Rolls!
I really like to support local farmers by buying products that they harvest and make themselves. Jams, honeys, sauces etc. all have a better quality to them and a taste that sets them apart from commercial brands. I also enjoy getting spices and such from the Amish Community. I get better quality and quantity for my dollar.
