I Confess



Thanks to Amy at Cooking With Amy for coming up with this meme. Who knew there were so many secrets.

I confess:

1- I love to cook "bacon pieces and ends" versus neat little slices.

2- When cooking, I can't stand to have anyone in my kitchen helping me unless it is to wash the dishes.

3- When I cook fish for my husband, I never taste it. I'm not fond of fish.

4- I absolutely love pork cracklins and eat far too many for my own good.

5- I think oatmeal is slimy.

6- I have a jar of saved bacon fat in my refrigerator.

7- I have a can of powdered butter milk in my refrigerator.

8- I hide my Global knives so no one else can use them.

9- I have a closet full of kitchen gadgets I have never used.

10- I hate to waste anything so leftovers often wind up in some other dish.

11- I always have cheddar cheese in my refrigerator.

12- I have a set of fine china I have never used.

13- I cook bacon in the microwave.

14- I have a slice of liver pate in my freezer and I swear it has been there for at least 2 years.

15- I make cookie dough and freeze it until ready to use.

16- I can't stand invited guests to bring pot luck items which they want to cook in my kitchen at the party.

17- I often prepare too much food for the number of guests invited.

18- I always have a bottle of Chardonay chilled.

19- I firmly believe you don't need a costly smoker to make excellent brisket.

20- I purposely drop pieces of meats on the floor just for Ziggy to find.

21- I have a ziplock bag filled with packets of hotsauce and ketsup from take outs in my refrigerator.

22- I wash and re-use plastic disposable forks and spoons.

23- I am not fond of rice or any rice dish.

24- I watch FoodTV far too many hours.

25- I write my name and date of purchase in every cookbook I get.

26- I rarely exactly follow a recipe.

27- I know my friends hate it when we go out to dinner and I ask them to take a picture of their food with my camera.

28- It irritates me beyond belief when anyone cooks in my kitchen and doesn't clean up the mess.

29- I love my kitchen timer and temperature gadget.

I saw this over at Cooking with Amy the other week but now when I saw your confessions I just had to post my own confessions so I did. Thanks for reminding me! And for making your own confessions, they make me feel that I am part of the human race and not alone...

I'm doing mine tomorrow. I agree 100% with your feelings about guest who show up with a dish that still needs to be cooked!

Sounds like you and I agree about not following recipes and wanting people the HECK out of our kitchen!

Lucky Ziggy!

I totally agree with the "cooking in my kitchen" statement! SO true!

Loved your confessions...

There is a lot of me buried in that post Sylvie. For instance, another person working in my home kitchen makes my skin crawl. A friend I used to work with in the restaurants referred to this person, and also a slow person on the line in the restaurant, as a speed bump.

Speed bump, waht a most appropriate name. I know the speed bumps are just trying to help and most think they are being considerate by volunteering. I find myself trying to convince them that I really do want to do it all by myself.
