Chef Kristy: November 2005
http://chefkristy.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Monday, November 28, 2005. It is a momentous occasion when a person accepts the challenge to host his or her first homemade Thanksgiving dinner. If you were to observe four friends making the attempt together, you would soon find four otherwise-competent young professionals on their cell phones with their mothers desperately seeking answers to such questions as "What does it mean to 'lace a turkey'? And "Is a meat thermometer. Or "Can you please.

Chef Kristy: July 2006
http://chefkristy.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Thursday, July 06, 2006. A day at the (dog) beach. It is a gorgeous summer: the temperature ranging from 80-85 degrees; the slight breeze; the gorgeous blue skies with the occasional fluffy cloud floating lazily by. All these things pull me out of bed at 7am on Saturday mornings and drive my poor sleep-deprived husband crazy. So if you find yourself like I do, waiting for the world to wake up, go for a walk. It's good for you, it's good for th...

What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Wednesday, October 26, 2005. Pumpkin carving and spiced apple cider. Sitting on a cold cement floor, old newspapers strewn everywhere, cheap plastic orange knife in hand, I found myself laughing harder than I have in a long time. I was in Adrian's. Garage, surrounded by old friends, and pulling cold pumpkin guts out of my tiny pumpkin. It was a night that will not soon be forgotten. 1 qt apple juice. 1/2 orange, sliced. Wednesday, October 26, 2005.

What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Thursday, December 01, 2005. BBM3 and a dangerous discovery. As I rounded the corner to my apartment the other evening, my eyes fell on something on the ground at the end of the hallway. A box on my doorstep! It was my BBM3. After much scolding and a few relieved breaths, I retrieved the box and sat down to open it. According to the return label, the box had traveled to me all the way from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. An envelope taped to the f...To ex...

Chef Kristy: September 2005
http://chefkristy.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Wednesday, September 14, 2005. Monday was Matt’s 25th birthday. How time is flying by. It all started with a 17-year-old whose greatest cares were Bellevue High football games, snowboarding, homework, and curfews. Now married, with a [rather large] dog, an interesting job, a fantastic apartment in LA, and surrounded by the best of friends, I am incredulous at how fast it has gone. During Matt’s childhood, this dinner was a special occasion&#...

Chef Kristy: May 2005

What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. On Wine and Conversation. The finest wine is only as good as the conversation it accompanies. There is something to be hailed about exploring new skills with friends. Amongst true friends, one can safely announce that they taste pear in a peppery wine, or proclaim “I don’t see any legs” on the, um, leggiest wine (can you guess who made that comment? Flavors of melon and pear with subtle hints of kiwi. Sits in the back of...

What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Tuesday, July 26, 2005. Tequila, Lime and Ruby Grapefruit Sorbet. I had, and have, much to learn when it comes to cooking mexican food. I am intimidated by mole, overwhelmed by homemade tortillas, and scared to death of peppers. But that night I found the staple dessert for any mexican dinner: Donna Hay's. Tequila, Lime and Ruby Grapefruit Sorbet. 1 C fresh lime juice. 1 T finely grated lime zest. 1 1/4 C. sugar. 3 C bottled ruby grapefruit juice.

What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. How well do you know Seattle? For all of my dear friends that have wandered away, and all of my friends who want to call Seattle home, test your knowledge here. I must say, I've been away for way too long. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Jake and Katie Tomlin. I have been gone way too long! I only got 17 questions right! Yikes that just means I need to go back more often! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

What garlic is to food, insanity is to art." - Anonymous. Thursday, June 23, 2005. No Berry Left Behind: Balsamic Glazed Strawberries with Marscapone Whipped Cream. As I inherited my father's moral responsibility to see that not even one tiny berry goes to waste, it was only reasonable that the plump red berries headline last evening's dessert. Being the first TND in a new apartment. Two new bedrooms and bathrooms, a new kitchen. Balsamic Glazed Strawberries with Marscapone Whipped Cream. Combine vinegar...
