Roughly 2 (ish) years ago I made a blog plea about how I struggled with making two things really well, in the kitchen. Some of you may remember… These two things were grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese. Since such times I have become quite a master of both…
Now, those of you who weren’t around then might laugh to yourself and wonder how in the world someone can screw those items up…
Well, confession: I can NOT boil eggs worth crap.
BUT, i could grill a sandwich and make homemade Mac N Cheese, BUT i wanted more than a basic recipe. I wanted extraordinary! I wanted salivation while remembering the dish…
Mission accomplished…
So, this time around I thought i’d put a plea out into the cyber world for recipes, aid, tips and wisdom again.
Souffle. I want to make and master souffle.
Biscuits. I am scared to death of home made biscuits. I want big, beautiful, fluffy ones. (no drop biscuits either.)
Lemon Bars. I’ve made sticky ones, dark edged and soggy centered ones. Now I want GOOD ones.
Lemon Curd. I LOVE Trader Joe’s curd but don’t have one so I guess I should attempt to master my own.
Fried Chicken. I tried it once, some 18 years ago. It was traumatic. I don’t particularly love it but my family does and I figure the occasional fried chicken dinner won’t hurt anyone.
Homemade pasta. ‘Nough said.
Help a girl out?
And I’ll keep ya’ll posted- but wish me luck- would ya?

"Minnie don't burn chicken."
Theoretically I don't either as mine never cooked… But yeah… If Celia figured it out, I should be able to.
