The recent ice storm that swept across the Central US left over a million people without power. When you’ve got an electric stove that makes preparing food something of a challenge. After thinking about it for a while, I came up with something of a makeshift stove that still allowed me to heat some things up.
I have, over the years, had a lot of great sandwiches from Subway. Generally speaking their stuff is pretty good (even if a bit pricey) and it’s been consistent for years. Then in recent months we’ve had occasion to revisit a local Subway after a pretty long dry spell in between and There’s something that my wife noticed right away that I still can’t figure out.
Hard Boiled eggs are not only a great snack and side dish on their own, they are also useful in many recipes. I was recently asked, “can you hard boil eggs in the microwave?”. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to do this.
I was going to do another one of the cooking terms posts but then I ran across something that made me decide that the term “Boil” deserved a bit broader treatment than as a one of many in a list of several items.
I have a bad habit of getting into a hurry when cooking. The reason I consider this a bad habit is because while it’s true that you can “hurry things along” with some recipes or prep techniques, there are others that if you try to hurry them, all you’re going to do is stand a real big chance of ruining something.
