I love to eat different kinds of food, especially sweet ones such as cookies or pie. Despite this fact, I have very little experience in baking and cooking, and the only things that I am willing to bake are foods with premixed formulas. Due to my apathy, I have very few baking ingredients within my house. The oven is mainly used as a storage area for unused kitchenware rather than something for actually making food.
Over the weekend before Thanksgiving, these facts somewhat changed. My friend, Vivi, came over to my house to visit. I have had an amity with her for years, and I greeted her excitedly as she entered the door since I have not seen her in a month. She took off her shoes and laid them at the entrance before following me upstairs to the living room.
Vivi and I sat on the wooden living room floor, playing cards and discussing what we have been doing for the past month, but this activity can only be done for so long before it becomes as boring as watching paint dry. We half-heartedly played another game of Spit before Vivi mentioned in the spirit of Thanksgiving that we should bake a pie.
“Baking? A pie?” I asked, “I can barely even bake brownies that have pre made formulas. This is way above my level (although many people would think that this is quite an easy recipe).”
“Well I haven’t baked anything like this

My mother laid the dough on the inner edges of the tray and Vivi and I poured the filling onto that. I then carefully covered it all with a layer of dough. A thought occurred to me at that point. Most professionally baked pies contain holes on the top. There has to be a reason for that (researching further after we finished baking it, the holes apparently allow air to escape so the crust would not bubble or crack). Following this idea, I poked a couple of holes on the top with a fork even though it did not look very aesthetically
The baker will start by melting the one stick of butter in the oven safe dish. Take the paper off of the stick butter and place the stick of butter in the oven safe dish, then place the oven safe dish in the preheated oven until butter is melted, after the butter is melted put on oven mitts and remove the oven safe dish from the oven. Now get your measuring cup, measure out one cup of flour, pour the cup of flour in the mixing bowl. Then measure out one cup of milk and pour it in the mixing bowl, next measure out one cup of sugar and pour in mixing bowl. Next get the spoon and mix the ingredients thoroughly until mixed completely. Now pour the mix into oven safe dish on top of the melted butter, and lastly open the large can of peaches with can opener, dump all of the peaches on top of mix in oven safe dish.
Rather, it is about exploring the ‘possibility of finding nourishment and sustenance in a hybrid cultural/culinary identity’ through re-creating a family ritual that connects ‘cultural and the culinary’ (Beauregard 59) and sets the stage for a changed relationship between Muriel, her mother and Naoe.
The title itself made me begin to drool. Who wouldn’t want to know the secret behind not ever using the oven for baking cookies? So, I clicked on the link and it was not what I was expecting to be honest. I imagined it would be a middle aged mom, baking with her young children. But to my surprise, it was a young adult in her home kitchen. She had five people
Using canned foods and instant sauces saved women the time of preparing meat and vegetables and seemingly turned cooking into a two-step process: empty ingredients into a pan and placing the pan in the oven. My mom can attest to this as she often resorts to casseroles when the family schedule becomes hectic. The quick preparation of the meal and slow cooking in the oven takes away from the time my mom spends laboring in the kitchen and allows her to use that time on other tasks around the house or simply to spend more time with my family. Shopping for casseroles includes an assortment of inexpensive ingredients, which can fill the plates of the entire family. Casseroles not only call for cheap ingredients but also a rather short list of them. The growing popularity began to slow as people relied on canned food, left overs, and instant sauces. Despite the simplicity of the dish, my mom enjoys using her creativity with the casserole dishes and has created many recipes of her own for our
I started to walk across the street to my friend Lacey’s house. Lacey lives just outside Detroit, but like my family, her family comes to the cape for the summer. Our families’ have been friends for about 10 years, but we normally don’t see or talk to each other during the year, only summertime seems to bring us together. Traditionally Lacey and I leave for the beach together, even at age 7 we walked with our mothers, so I knew I had to tell her about this errand before I left for town.
The first thing you will need to do is gather everything that is essential to the task. This should be simple because there are only eight ingredients. They consist of flour tortillas, refried beans, ground beef, grated cheese, green onions, tomatoes, mushroom soup, and sour cream. You will also need a large mixing bowl, a frying pan, a pot, a knife, a spatula, four or five tablespoons, and a nine by thirteen glass baking dish.
She had always loved food and enjoyed learning how to make it. In fact, when she was little, she would watch her mom bake these delicious pastries and want to do the same. Fast forward to the end of senior year, she arrived at The Culinary Institute of
have to bake, cool, and fill the roll with its filling, and you will have a total masterpiece.
Food has been a great part of how he has grown up. He was always interested in how food was prepared. He wanted to learn, even if his mother didn’t want him to be there. “I would enter the kitchen quietly and stand behind her, my chin lodging upon the point of the hip. Peering through...
The purpose of Thanksgiving in Canada is different from the Americans. But even though the reasons for giving thanks are different, many of the customs are the same. Canadian Thanksgiving was originally started to give thanks to God for a bountiful harvest. This was when there were lots of farmers that grew crops. Now we give thanks for everything we appreciate. Some farming families still give thanks for a good crop.
Although I have grown up to be entirely inept at the art of cooking, as to make even the most wretched chef ridicule my sad baking attempts, my childhood would have indicated otherwise; I was always on the countertop next to my mother’s cooking bowl, adding and mixing ingredients that would doubtlessly create a delicious food. When I was younger, cooking came intrinsically with the holiday season, which made that time of year the prime occasion for me to unite with ounces and ounces of satin dark chocolate, various other messy and gooey ingredients, numerous cooking utensils, and the assistance of my mother to cook what would soon be an edible masterpiece. The most memorable of the holiday works of art were our Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, which my mother and I first made when I was about six and are now made annually.
Every year during Thanksgiving families across the United States dig into turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. These foods are most common amongst families including mine, however the one food my family has always enjoyed during Thanksgiving is fruit salad. This may sound weird because we are so accustomed to the unhealthy foods of gravy and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, but the deliciousness of many fruits combined fits just right in. Ever since I was a little kid my older brother Tyler and I was lucky enough to make the fruit salad for my family. Making the fruit salad every year brings me memories and makes me reflect on the past Thanksgiving’s.
First of all, gathering fresh ingredients and the correct baking utensils will make a good outcome. You should check if you have all the tools and ingredients. If not, you must go to the nearest grocery store and buy the highest-quality products. The tools you need to make the dough for the cookies are a bowl, mixer, measuring cups, wooden spoon, and a spoon. You will also need a cookie sheet and an oven. Next, you need ¾ cups of granulated sugar for the sweetness of the cookie. You need 1 cup of butter that melts very
All we need is to understand well the ingredients, including fruit and vegetables, and think about how to substitute. Most of my classmates presented really nice products. I have got a lot of useful information from them. There is no one suffering from gluten problems around me, so I rarely pay attention to these products. I am not sure if there is more chance like this time that I can focus on gluten free or special dietary baking, so when I got the printed recipe that we made, I feel like I got treasures because they are worth keeping for ever.
my morning starts with a long stretch and yawn followed by a witf of Christmas dinner aroma. I can smell the stuffed and seasoned turkey as well as the cheesy mac and cheese baking in the oven. I can also smell the sugar and cinnamon smothered yams along with the smoked ham hocks mixed together with the black eye peas. the smell of the food is what lures me down stairs and in plain sight I see a steaming turkey fresh out of the oven, is my a bowel of dark green collard green with some fat back mixed in. the list can go on and on because the table stretched about a mile long and it was covered with nothing but food. the main thing that I rush to is to my mothers famous turkey dressing. I can spot it a mile away because she always prepares it in the same shiny aluminium pan and places it in a green, red, and whit...
