PS: My apologies for the very small print and a bit of wonky formatting in some of these previous recipe posts. For some reason, WP wouldn’t allow me to update to a larger font when I tried to do that tonight. 😦  

The quirks of WordPress, eh? 😉

My Kind of “Processing” ;<) In My Kitchen

By Geraldine on | 14 Comments
scones
In my kitchen, I create.
Breads to rise and cakes to bake.
Here, I stir, knead and sauté.
Spoons and knives, in happy disarray.
                                        
In my kitchen, I am queen!
Baking cobblers, date bars and other sweet dreams.
Soups and salads, lovingly prepared.
With a smidge of spice and a dash of flair.
                                                                                                   
Blissfully, I’m lost….
in heady aromas and tastes.
A world of flavors.
and delights to partake.
                                                                                     
I am home.
Oh so free.
This truly is, where I am ME!
                                                                                   
The stress of the day is left behind.
It’s time to create.
All problems resigned.
                                  
Pity those who can’t boil an egg.
Seeking culinary skills.
They will often beg.
                                                 
The chemistry of cooking.
A wonder to share.
It’s almost like love, but with calories…
oh dear!
                                                         
In my kitchen, safe and warm.
A haven…
flour heaven ?
So glad to be here.

Another Kitchen Glass Experiment!

By Geraldine on | 1 Comment

simax glass for post 3

If you are a past, present,  happy or disgruntled…. user of Pyrex or Anchor Hocking glass bake/storage ware, you might want to read this recent (positive) review/report,  over at my product review blog: My Real Life Reviews for Simax Glass Bake/Storage Ware.

Suffice to say, my research and experiments with these glass products have been a real eye-opener! And not entirely in a good way. 😦

But there is a happy ending! 😉 Don’t ya love those?
