For the Heck of it!
No set topic, no set niche – just for the heck of it!
I’m not kidding. I just ran across Western Culinary on Myspace. So now I guess I’ve seen everything – a Cordon Bleu Program with their own Myspace page.
Not only do they have a Myspace page but I can say with some authority that it is one of the nicest Myspace pages I’ve seen in a long, long time. I honestly enjoyed looking around at the page and you can’t say that about many Myspace pages.
They have the beginnings of a blog going on but so far I only see one recipe listed. Not Your Mama’s Meatloaf is made with Stovetop Stuffing, ground beef and Italian sausage and it looks delicious. I’m going to have to try that recipe. I hope they put up some more recipes too! Of course if they did that nobody would have to go to school. *grin*
Hubby has been on vacation all week and we’ve just been cooling it. There is a ton of stuff we need to do but he is stressed with work and taking care of his mother so I’m not pressing him to do anything but relax. We had a nice dinner at the Old Lady’s house on the 4th and as simple as it was I don’t think it would have been any better if it had been prepared by a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts (http://www.twincitiesculinary.com/).
Our dinner was very simple. The main course was a 2.5 chuck roast slow cooked in the oven with onions and carrots. My husband fixed mashed potatoes, I fixed cole slaw, the Old Lady cooked the roast and a few other side dishes. The roast was especially good. We have been buying our meat at Apollo Meats for a few years now after getting some bad ground beef at Publix so many weeks in a row. bleh. When we complained to the manager at Publix he said that ground beef is “supposed to be brown in the middle”. Maybe he should tell that specification to the meat markets in the area because we have never gotten ground beef that is brown in the middle from the butcher shop. heh
People that know my husband at work would never believe this but he makes bread machine recipes in his bread maker all the time. I call it “his” because I have never even touched the contraption.
Not only does he make bread recipes but he makes pizza dough in his bread machine and makes some of the most delicious pizzas that I have ever tasted. At Chefs.com I found some bread machine recipes that I don’t think he has tried yet so I’ll have to show them to him. Personally I find the bread machine to be more trouble than it is worth, but I don’t mind eating the bread my husband makes with ours. 
I found a recipe at that site for bread pudding that I’d like to try myself (using the conventional oven). I haven’t had really good bread pudding in years. I plan to make it and when I do I’ll report back with the results.
