Short Order Cook = ME
|
I haven’t been able to come up with anything particularly engaging on the topic of food for almost ten days now. It isn’t that I am bored with food—far from it. After all, it is one of the last sensual pleasures left for us humans (according to pal Jerry Lim) that won’t kill us, assuming you’re not eating razor blades or ice cream every day. It could have something to do with the drudgery of being a short order cook. Day in, day out, I’m preparing miniature delicacies to a sometimes appreciative and other times, utterly unforgiving audience. Anyhoo, I figured I’d better write something soon or get my walking papers from the Examiner, so here goes: The girls’ menu for Saturday, June 21, 2008. Breakfast:
 Before Nap Lunch:
After Nap Snack:
Dinner:
The after nap snack and dinner haven’t happened yet, but this is a good idea of what’s involved in feeding 22 month-old human females. Their stomachs are bottomless pits, but when their little tummies are full, they are delightful in every way (except for the occasional hair pulling and biting incidents). |

Thanks to all who read and comment for your hilarious but also informative and opinionated comments. I appreciate them all, each and every one. I'd like to address a few of the comments that were also questions or requests: 1.) BOGUS BOTTLES -- To DMM who wanted to know specifically which bottles are made with BPA, here's a short list:
2.) Cast Iron -- To Lenore Baier, who was curious how to repair a chipped skillet, "...one skillet seems to have part of a layer off...should I do anything to improve it?" Lenore, I'm no expert, but am a regular CI user. Tdogg, another reader/commenter had this to say about the cleaning of her skillet, and I think you could apply this, plus regular oil application to your damaged skillet with good results: "I clean mine with a little cheap white vinegar and rough salt (kosher/sea salt) and usually scrub with brown paper from grocery bags." In my experience using Cast Iron, my lack of energy to scrub the living daylights out of my pans has resulted in a nice, greasy sheen. Not dripping with oil, but black and sort of slick. I looked at a few Cast Iron care websites for reference, and it seems like if there aren't any cracks in the pan, you can bring it back with the regular gentle (ie, mostly soapless) scrubbing, then applying oil with a clean rag or paper bag until its next use. .jpg) 3.) Wino Whine --To S who requested info re: wine. I love wine. I love white wine, bubbly, red, rose. I love Spanish, Northwestern U.S., Australian, South African, oh the list goes on. I especially love drinking wine with food. Cheese and wine are one of the most perfect food/wine combinations. Unfortunately, I don't feel comfortable recommending wine at the moment as recently it has been causing me regular hideous headaches. Now I'm wondering if wine should go the way of cheese (which may mean saying a tearful goodbye) if I am to live comfortably for at least another forty years. What I will recommend to you curious wine drinkers out there is to experiment. I was having great luck with Spanish and Californian vino before my head decided to ruin the experience for me. Go to a decent liquor store (I like The Wine Source in Hampden) and say yes to the many nice people who work there who ask if you need help. Also, I don't think it is necessary to spend tons of money on wine. You should be able to get something tasty in the $10 range. 4.) Baby Food -- To C in the south who would like to read more about healthy baby snacks... as I have mentioned, I am a short order cook. I will devote probably way too many postings to what my daughters are scarfing down. In my opinion, though, and this applies to grown-up food as well, the less processed your food is, the better. |
