"The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away..."

From Sarah Louise via Blackbird.

In the kitchen with...BabelBabe

Variety is the spice of life.
In my cupboard, I have this many spices: a lot
Rack or no rack? What does my bra size have to do with... oh. Um. A big cabinet over my (nonfunctioning oven); top shelf is rubs, chutneys, marinades, etc.; middle shelf is spices, herbs, and extracts
Alphabetize? I CAN.
Which spice do you use most often? Cinnamon
Which recipe? Right now, Amish friendship bread

It's like the pot calling the kettle black.
Coffee or tea? Tea at home, coffee at work
Do you make coffee at home? H does, in his fancy-schmancy Cuisinart coffeepot. I do not.
If you make tea, loose or in bags? Both
How many kinds of tea do you have? Couple dozen, but my favorite is PG Tips bags.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
I use my stovetop: Yes. But it’s electric, more’s the pity.
I use my oven: four-five times a week. Someday I will have a functioning oven actually in my kitchen. I can dream, can’t I?

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Soy or cow? Who are you calling a cow?
Skim or whole? Whole and chocolate for the boys, skim for me.
How many gallons a week? 3 whole, ½ skim


There's nothing like rejection to make you do an inventory of yourself. (James Lee Burke)
Three items in my freezer (right now):
1. banana bread
2. Pepperidge Farm coconut cake
3. a roasting chicken

Three things in my fridge (right now):
1. the last slice of H’s lemon birthday cake
2. two slices of delivery cheese pizza
3. 2 pounds of strawberries

Item I am most chagrined about:
Two pounds of sauerkraut. WHAT was I going to make? I totally can’t recall...

Item I bet no one else has:
2 pounds of sauerkraut?
Three dozen hardboiled and dyed Easter eggs (because the rest of you were smart enough to just throw them out?)
A baby bottle full of chocolate milk? (Don’t ask.)
