Boys who cook - happy daughters-in-law

Submitted by Tony Silva on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 11:03pm

As I write this, our two youngest boys are glued to the TV watching the Food Network's popular show, "The Five Minute Fix."  While they're probably not ambitious enough to tackle the Thanksgiving feast featured in tonight's episode, they have mastered a lot of the basics a guy needs to survive bachelorhood.  If it comes in a can or in a box with instructions written in plain English, they can have it on the table in no time.   But I'm talking about real food.  Most of our guys can do eggs -- more than just scrambled.  This afternoon, Tim, our youngest, offered to make a grilled cheese sandwich for me.   The day before, his older brother, Ben made cinnamon apples for the whole family.  It's not a well kept secret -- kids love to cook.

Finally… A Kitchen Gadget That Works!

Submitted by Tony Silva on Fri, 10/29/2010 - 7:28pm

One of my favorite things to do is wander down the housewares aisle at the local StuffMart. The kitchen gadgets there are often cheap tin or plastic doodads that don’t do much.

One intriguing gadget catches my eye everytime I visit—the “microwave egg poacher”. Seriously. I envisioned egg muck stuck to the device or a quivering mass of not-so-cooked eggwhite staring back at me. Just thinking about what could happen makes me have an “Eeeeeew! moment”.

Baking Soda Cleanser

Submitted by Tony Silva on Fri, 10/29/2010 - 4:37pm

Over the years, we've grabbed the familiar yellow box to solve problems ranging from garlic in the 'fridge to bee stings on the toddler. You've probably discovered other uses for baking soda, and we could create a separate topic just to explore new ways of getting our money's worth from this product.
