Idiot's Kitchen

Claudia White is one of my oldest friends! Er, I mean, she's been my friend for a long time!!! Anyway, we both love cooking and I'm very excited to introduce Claudia's new cooking blog, Idiot's Kitchen. Claudia uses lots of pictures along with detailed, step-by-step lessons about how to fix terrific meals! Her first recipe went up today: Pork Chops with Tomatoes and Sage, Green Beans with Caramelized Shallots and Couscous. I've had those pork chops before and they are awesome, so go check it out! Flute proficiency not required. Congratulations on a great blog, Claudia!

What I really wanna know is, who's gonna play Claudia in the movie?

Fried Chicken Cookoff!

Eat your heart out, Colonel Sanders!

I remember when I started this blog I said we would have some posts about cooking. Ha! Well, you can at least see some of my cooking adventures at my SmugMug site. Anyway, this fascinating article at Slate documents how Jennifer Reese compared two fried chicken recipes -- Thomas Keller vs. The Pioneer Woman -- using her family as judges. I'll let you go see who won the contest. As for me, I know who makes the best fried chicken and mashed potatoes in the world: ME!!!
