Question of the Day: Did you see 'Ratatouille' this weekend?
I did. As a food movie, it was great and touched on a lot of subjects. As a movie-movie, I got really tired of all the trials and tribulations and set backs which seemed to pile up on top of each other. The last 20 minutes, however, brought tears to my eyes and was worth the wait.
What is your favorite kind of cookie?
Martha Stewart's Chocolate Chip Cookies. Amatuer Gourment led me to them. They are buttery, crispy, yet chewy in the middle...simply little changes take the normal, cakey average Tollhouse cookie into something sublime.
Interesting food combinations
Ketchup on scrambled eggs.
Sliced cheddar cheese on bbq potato chips.
McDonalds fries dipped into chocolate shake.
Cottage cheese and honey.

I just came back from the bake-off as a contestant. And I read lots of blogs where people complain that its just using pre-made or pre-packaged stuff. Yes, I cringed a little when Sandra Lee told us all that we were all "semi-homemade chefs". But that's kind of the point of the contest. To enter, you are given two lists of assorted Pillsbury and other sponsor related products. Your recipe has to include at least one item from each list. That really limits what you can make. And that's why you see some really weird combos pop up in this contest. For me, it was just the fun of entering and the very remote chance of winning $1 million; I wasn't trying to create the next great American recipe. I will enter again next year; it was fun!
