i'm going to try again and i'll share the what's and how's of my homemade chicken pot pie adventures.

I love pot pies and casseroles! I make a chicken and biscuits casserole that well, yes, I hurt, too...lol

The downfall or blessing to not using measurements when I cook is that I make too much. I pack up the extra and take it to my mom, aunt, uncle, anyone who is available and not on a special diet. lol...(I learned the hard way)...

But it's the only way I know how to cook. I really hate to cook for one, I can NEVER get it right. How can that be?

There's an idea! How about a reunion with kitchen priviledges! Then we could put on a luncheon or something....we could even coordinate the foods for the different courses and such...cultures, tastes, regional favorites all showcased.

I loathe to measure in the kitchen.
Which really confuses people since I teach cooking classes.
For them, I suck it up and write up a "real" recipe in advance with measurements and how many a recipe serves... but when I'm demo teaching it's all about how to eyeball and tell from texture and scent if something is just right.

My latest exciting dish at a class was a basic split pea soup, but without ham, and fluffed up with steamed and pureed cauliflower stirred into the soup and then the whole thing was topped with a drizzle of balsamic.

*yum!!!*

What's funny is I cook for taste, I can't generally tell someone how much salt or pepper I use. Often though I don't use salt when cooking until the end, unless it's pasta, then the water tastes like the bloody ocean....

That is the best way to cook Corkey. Add salt at the end.

Salt is one of my favorite things to work with. One of my friends has a crazy collection of salts from around the world and she uses all of them for different dishes. Very interesting.

Mmmm..that sounds so good!

Cooking demo's? Ok you are hired. See Canela to sign up for HER event that SHE is organizing!

I am now having a fantasy about a Femme Cook off and I can see the tickets flying out the door. We will need a bigger venue. There will be crowds. Paparazzi. Madness. We will need security.

Oh wait, we need a venue before we can need a bigger venue.

Dang! Details. *sigh*

Oh never mind...lol...me and my big mouth.

Lmao.

I really like your idea Canela. See? A new thread and great ideas are already emerging. You are going to have fun organizing this event!

LOL..I just want to attend and NOT cook for a change!

Let me have my fantasy Femme cook off for a few days ok? It is really working for me right now.

Gee what a person has to do to get a home cooked meal these days!

Yes, thank you for the vote of confidence Sun, I say let's run it by the powers that be and see what can be done. If for some reason this idea does take off, I definitely want to be a part of it.

As far as the Femme cook off, you're hurting me there Sun, I was kinda looking forward to the butches/TG/FtM's and all other than Femmes to participate as well...that sounds like the fair thing to do, ya know? Lol...(secretly looking forward to watching my honey in the kitchen alongside me).
