2014 in Review (Part 2)

So we left off in June. Let's see what the rest of 2014 brought:

July
So what was going on in July? There was basic Vinaigrette, Strawberry Whipped Cream Cake, and Smokey Corn on the cob.

August
There was Chocolate Creme de Menthe cake that happened by accident, Whipped Cream Pound Cake, and Chocolate Mud Cake. But don't think that August was only about cakes there was also homemade Mozzarella

September
This month there was homemade pasta, and garden tomato and cream pasta, and it wasn't just about carbs, there was zucchini quiche too.

October
There was toasted pepitas, homemade creme fraiche, and how can we forget the whole sauerkraut episode, but the banana chocolate cake cheered us up - didn't it? as did the vacuum sealer.

November
We were thankful that the sauerkraut finally turned out well, and that there were Parker House Rolls, we were especially thankful for the new kid on the block, as well as the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies and that everything turned out well for Thanksgiving.

December

Then not so long ago we ate our home grown lemons, went down memory lane with tuna casserole, ate aniseed meringues, learned how to cut up a whole chicken, and lamented the fact that I didn't get a puppy but was cheered by the Sous Vide.

Well let's see what 2015 brings (and let's hope there's a puppy somewhere in there!)

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...

Mensa Member?

I think Mickey is a member of Mensa. We heard him last night but could not determine where he was in the kitchen (or should I say the Sous Chef could not locate him - I certainly was not looking). He had been lurking in the toaster cabinet the night before and averted the glue trap. This is absolute torture. Still no cooking going on.

Nothing in the Larder

Well there's nothing left in the freezer except some peeps from Easter. Shockingly they are good until 2016 - that's reassuring huh? This raises a few questions: Why do I keep peeps in the freezer? Well they are delicious frozen. I don't know why I havent eaten them yet??? Why is the freezer empty? because we are getting a new refrigerator. This one is 15 years old and quite frankly it owes us nothing. Every once it a while it lets out a big sigh. We figured we better replace it before it lets out one last final sigh. Why am I calling it the larder? Well I think of that Simpson's episodes where Moe calls Homer fancy for calling the garage a garage and not a car hole. I know it's not the same but it just makes me laugh and gives me an excuse to find that clip on youtube. So the delivery is set for the end of the week. We moved everything from the freezer to the downstairs freezer. The only thing that got thrown ou...
