Finally used my individual Soufle dishes!


These mini pot pies were works of art.
Unfortunately, I was also trying to watch Project Runway and text message while I put them together. So, I skipped a step. The seasoning!
But they were lovely.

How did I live before?

I’m a maniac w/my new garlic press. I love this thing!

I felt like a cooking loser


Martha Stewart has a mandated kitchen essentials list my fellow Martha acolyte and I reviewed when I first cracked open Martha Stewart’s Cooking School.It's a list of things I have never used, heard of or left behind w/What's His Face when I came to my senses. He may have gotten my juicer and crepe pans but I got This instead. I definitely win.
My friend has just moved and come across a few things on my list that she has extras of. How lucky is that? A friend w/an extra garlic press, ground ginger and a wok just lying around? It’s kismet. Or enabling. Either way it’s seems the stars are lining up in my cooking favor.
I'll probably wok something w/crushed garlic and ground ginger!

Maybe I’m French

I think I’m adopted. I seem to be obsessed w/cheese.I  must have bought 5 different kinds. Dad kept mocking me , "Gorgonzola, get the Gorgonzola!". He's not really on board with the pretentious cheese yet. When I got home I could not find the recipes for this week’s menu. They are MIA. I’ll probably find them in my tool box or the freezer. WHO KNOWS?!
So, there I was w/ingredients for God knows what. I just started cooking, throwing things in a skillet. I made a nice ragout w/ground turkey and tossed in some veggies and pasta. Basically, I made Hamburger Helper from scratch. Great.
