Friday Special

Just in case you were curious, this was the entree I made at the house on Tuesday. Its based on the "Friday Special" at Taziki's in Birmingham. Nancy's idea was to use shrimp instead of chicken. For those of you who know; yes, the sauce tasted right on. It was a major hit at the Cobalt house.

Desert

My turn to cook again. Dinner was just a detail, but the banana pudding I made for desert is where it counts.

In the kitchen, again.

No, it was not my night to cook again. I was only the assistant tonight. I helped create these four pizzas (including all the way down to making the dough from flour and yeast.) Here is the work before they went into the oven. Left to right: BBQ chicken, pepperoni, veggie, and Hawaiian.

Pots and Pans

This one very literally hits close to home. It was my night to cook tonight. (I made teriyaki noodles with grilled chicken.) I looked up into the collection of pots and pans over the stove and noticed the particular copper bottom of this pot. This pot was made by Revere Ware and manufactured in Clinton, Illinois, my own hometown. Revere pots made in Clinton have become rather valuable collectors items over time. I'm pretty sure at some point both of my parents worked there as well.

Supper time

My kitchen. We believe this is the oldest part of the house (built around 1830.) It a big kitchen.
