Messes to all!! Just back from work at 11pm. No cooking today. However did look at 2 cooking magazines. One was cuisine at home...I like that one a lot. Although sometimes they have kind of weird sides, and their dishes can be a little lengthy to make. But lots of nice pictures and step by step directions. I like to try some of the dishes out of it. The ones I have made so far, have turned out excellent. Never really made a bad meal from that book.
Now Emeril's cookbooks, that's another story. I used to watch the show when I first started cooking and the dishes looked so awesome. I wished I had "smellavision" , they seemed so tasty.
So I tried my hand at a few dishes, mostly simple..fried chicken, potato salad etc. Simple. Well I was extremely disappointed to say the least. Nothing looked as good as the pictures, and the taste was mediocre at best. He also seemed to use so many ingredients that the dishes just became a mish-mash of weird spice flavors. No Emeril for me anymore.
I do have a twitter issue as well. Last week, as the rainy season started in Fla, I developed a leak onto my stove via the vent above. Not good. So my neighbor got up and caulked around the vent. He said he didn't see anything else. I thought good. First light rain after, no problem.
First hard rain after, problem. Water just pouring down the vent onto the stove. Got Michael to get some other roof repair stuff and had it all sealed all around the vent and the roof around it.
I twitter because since then, we have had no rain, except for a sprinkle. I need some serious rain for a little bit to see if it's fixed. Yet, I kind of don't want it to rain in case it leaks! At least now , with no rain it's not leaking. Catch 22.
Well that's all for now. If you have a fav cookbook, LMK
