![]() I'm preparing for my annual trip to North Canton to celebrate Hoover's b day, and to visit my friends. I usually bring some home made kitchen delights. Tonight, I'll be making a large amount of spaghetti sauce, meatballs and sausage, cookies, Irish soda bread, banana nut bread, iced tea, etc. Also, a co worker is preparing for her daughter's bridal shower and asked me to make the 'tea' and some cookies. These things will give me a chance to break out the new Kitchenaid stand mixer. I haven't really cooked much of anything since the VCCC convention. Once more, the house will smell great. Tonight, I'll post some pics. Maybe I should carter when I leave the college! The kitchen is open once more!!

![]() I'll make a lot of cookies again, for my students. I tend to prepare dishes in large quantities, to freeze for a later time. That way, there;s always something nice at the ready, should a surprise guest, etc arrive. Chicken cordon bleu will be next. Plus the century old recipe of 'the chocolate cake' for my aunt's 92nd b day!! (looks 70) I made 4 of them for the convention. Some called it 'fudge'. It's been called that before too. It's all done by hand, wooden spoons, separated eggs, double boiler melted chocolate bricks, etc. A lot of effort, but worth every bit. |

![]() And, yes. In the not too distant future.............. this kitchen will be a culinary frenzy
I'm making 12 Chicken Parmesan, stuffed shells, sauce and meatballs. PLUS, I promised my new students cookies... what better way to wash them down than with some iced tea. Can't brink cold milk to the room. So. tea it is !!!! I've made about 15 gallons of the stuff since that convention. |

and the Kitchenaid, I can make an abundance of ice cream.
Maybe I could put a little bell on my car! I have a lot of the KA attachments. They make quick work out of s lot of tasks, for sure. This post was last edited 08/20/2022 at 10:10 |

![]() My only living aunt turned 92 last week. My sister was in too. Their birthdays are 3 days apart. My sister's b day is the same as Fidel Castro's. Mine is the same as President Kennedy's. Go figure.
So, this week, I made may aunt's favorite things. And, there is enough now for 9 different dinners. Cookies will be made tonight for my new students. My new classes have students from 9 different countries. It's a very interesting semester so far!

![]() and the pasta plates for the Kitchenaid mixer. I keep promising myself that I'll make that home made pasta. I make gnocchi from scratch. I even got the gnocchi board with the ribs (like Lydia uses). They are not very hard to make, although a bit messy. Some rainy or snowy day, out will come the pasta equipment. |

![]() I've taught a lot of stuff over the years. I WAS a Catholic school (elementary) teacher. I taught grades3&4, everything. Then, grades 5,6,7,8, math and English, then music grades K-8 for years. I was on the faculty at Peabody in Baltimore (5 yrs), then ESL for a literacy agency. Yrs ago, I also taught blind children. That was rewarding but very hard. Now, I teach English (2nd language) to adults in a college. I have 30+ students from 9 different countries. Some days.. ...yikes. I've actually (accidentally) spoken French to my cats when I got home from school. It's all been rewarding and challenging at the same time.I guess like everything else, right?

Not that I'm aware of.
I do try to watch fat and sodium content because of high blood pressure. This post was last edited 09/28/2022 at 16:39 |
