Kitchen and fries

Yum

Kitchen theatre,  I want in. Too many fries.

Ok fine

Yum

I guess ill take most of it back about Bobby's...although,  I think I said the burgers were good. I don't understand people who don't like goat cheese.  I like the FRESH GOAT CHEESE. My question now is wheres the bbq sauce? I thought I saw a Bobby Flay book about sauce.

A Medicinal Recipe

Yum
When I was volunteering at the Oberlin Heritage Center checking inventory, one of my favorite items was a leather doctor's case of vials from the 1800's with medicinal recipes. The recipes usually included cocaine and either gin or whiskey.

The History of the cookbook

Yum
Huh. ok. hopefully I can find a book on this somewhere. It seems to me like cookbooks of the past are not really what we think of cookbooks today. Or at least some of them aren't because they include many home remedies and other stuff like info on merchandising or learning a trade. Cookbooks now seem to be pretty focused right? Are home remedies now for the "frugal," the "environmentalists" and people who like "alternative medicine, thus making home remedies seem inferior to some Americans?

What about home economics? Didn't mom take that and she had to learn to sow? Do some places still do that? What about these books on domesticity? Have they disappeared because of woman's right's issues?

PAY ATTENTION

Yum
I will admit that I find dead food in my fridge all the time. Might even happen if I lived alone. So, please, be wary of what's in your fridge and eat up anything left-over at the end of the month. Yes, it's very hard to do this with the hustle and bustle of today. However, keep in mind the environment, your wallet and your noses.

I have also latley made a habit of plating everything in tea cups. It looks super pretty and gives to smaller portions.

Georgian Vodka

Yum

This vodka actually came into being because I wanted to combine my Dad's favorite flavors. He was born in Germany and has neven been to Georgia. So why are his favorite flavors the pride of this state?

1 ball jar
1 peach, cut into cubes
5 pecans
1 cinnamon stick
Vodka

1. Put the ingredients in jar, top with vodka, close tightly.
2. Place in fridge, shake twice a day for as many days as you want depending on how intense you want the flavors.
3. Drink and by merry.

4. Make a Georgia crumble with about the same ingerdients.
