Cinnamon Raisin Bread "the easy way"

Using up some stored dough I made some cinnamon bread. Using this method you could fill this bread with just about anything you want.

45 min Roast Turkey...it is possible!

Mark Bittman show us the way!

Just in time for Thanksgiving! Well actually 2 years ago Mark Bittman "The Minimalist" shows us how to cook a Turkey in about 45 minutes. It can be done! And it can be done in no time at all!

Here is a tip for you too: Why not cook 2 birds? They are so cheep this time of year.

Enjoy!

Great Article in NY Times about Homemade Pizza & Dough

“THERE’S little point in trying to match the horsepower available to a pizzaiolo. Their professional pizza ovens, especially the models that burn wood or coal, are the muscle cars of kitchens: when blazing at temperatures that range from 800 degrees to an infernal 1,000 degrees, they can turn raw dough into a blistered, bubbling pizza in as little as 75 seconds. It puts the home cook, whose oven typically reaches 550 degrees, at a permanent disadvantage.”

Definitely not a Uni-Tasker

I love this!  In all of the times I have dried my lettuce leaves I have never EVER thought that this could be used for medical purposes.  One of my favorite things of working in a kitchen is finding new things to do with the odds and ends we collect and take for granted.
