There are many things they neglect to mention on the
cooking shows, important things that had I known - may have saved me a bundle.
When making cookies from a recipe that
calls for a stick of butter, it is important to let the butter soften
completely before attempting to blend it into the mix.
1. Burnt out mixer: $63.95
Whenever flicking something off of your
sharp kitchen knife into the sink make sure the blade of the knife does not
accidentally whack off a chunk of the faucet.
2. Kitchen Faucet: $278.50
Placing food sprinkled with olive oil
into a 400° oven will fill the kitchen with smoke.
3. Kitchen curtains: $27.00
4. Smoke Alarm: $31.00
5. Smoke Alarm Battery : $2.79
Of
course, there are many other things that I have discovered; however, I shall
share those on another day.
I
will mention that peeling hard-boiled eggs is my least favorite thing. In searching the Internet for an easy way to
peel them, I found a video showing this person breaking off both ends of the
eggshell and then blowing the hard-boiled egg out, using his mouth. Talk about disgusting. You will never see me going to his house for
egg salad.
As
long as I am on the subject of germ-fest 2000, let me tell you… We were walking through the store last
weekend when we saw this. It is one of
those stores that have people stationed at various end-caps handing out food
samples.
The
person was wearing gloves as they should but unconsciously, as they were
preparing the snacks, they were bringing their hand up to their mouth and
licking the excess cracker spread off their fingers, and then reaching down to
the tray and fixing the next one. OMG!
I
may be an expensive person to have around the kitchen, but rest assured, the
place is spotless before I start cooking, and after I am done. I have always had a clean as you go policy,
which has eliminated the large clean up at the end of cooking. Being ever conscious of germs and proper
hygiene practices it just comes naturally.
So
when you come in the house please remove your shoes and put on one of the
portable sneeze-guards that are stacked on the entryway table.
Thanks
