The kitchen is finally unpacked, I am back in the cooking business!
Why so long, you ask? This place had a bug problem when we moved in, and it took a while to get that squared away. Not going to unpack my dishes with bugs around! Also the stove is gross, old, the previous tenants left it icky (also the fridge had mold in it when we got here - ewww!); the knobs on the stove are also unreliable -
oops, I'm kvetching.
Anyway, most of our cooking stuff is unpacked, for Thanksgiving I cooked a ham, we had stuffing and potatoes (too much starch, but yum), and asparagus. And crescent rolls, which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shipbrook adores. A friend had a bunch of us over for a pre-Thanksgiving potuck celebration the week before the holiday, I made Sid's pumpkin pudding with praline topping and it got a ton of compliments. This week I'm making peanut soup.
I've decided that I need a new set of pots and pans. Mum gave me some pots from the 70s - ugly harvest gold but will last forever so I don't care - a few years ago a coworker gave me some teflon pots, one of them got chucked in the move since the finish was wearing. I've never had a new matching set of pots and pans! Not a huge tragedy, to be sure. So if any of you have any advice as to a brand or finish I should consider, I'd be much obliged.
