Culinary Goals<\/b><\/p>\n
I know that it isn’t the new year, yet. But, with all of the traditional cooking and baking going on around here, I just know that I’m not going to be pushing myself to do anything new. The new year is approaching, though, and so I thought I’d list some of my humble goals for the coming year in the kitchen. Feel free to set me straight and point me in the right direction at will….<\/p>\n
1. Learn how to cook a whole chicken and turkey. That’s right, I don’t know how.
\n2. Make my own hummus. I do know how to do this but I just haven’t, yet. When I do it’ll be awesome since I could practically live on this stuff.
\n3. Brisket.
\n4. Learn some great crock pot recipes that my boys will eat<\/b> to have ready for Sunday lunches.
\n5. Pork roast — I need a good recipe for this, too.
\n6. Make the recipe for Thai soup that I copied from a magazine months ago.
\n7. Make the recipe for soup that I was planning for Mr. Jim. He died a week before he was scheduled to have lunch with us and I just haven’t had the heart to make it. Now I do, though, because I’ve decided that I’ll eat it and think of him.
\n8. I want to learn how to make several great (easy) lunch salads. And, I’m on the hunt for a tasty homemade creamy balsamic vinaigrette recipe.
\n9. I’m going to make some new tex-mex foods. Suggestions, anyone?
\n10. Lamb for Easter?
\n11. I need a new recipe for a hot sandwich.
\n12. I want to learn how to make a slow-cooked Italian tomato sauce. One that I can do in a big batch and freeze for later.<\/p>\n
Guess what? I’m going to blog the making of each of these….so, that should be an interesting adventure. <\/p>\n
Here’s to learning new stuff. Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
