Getting to know each other 3

Posted on October 24, 2011 by thecompletebook

I’m thrilled that so many people took part in my getting to know each other 2 that I couldn’t resist putting another one together. Shorter this time around but still loads of fun. Thank you to Cindy, Stonemaiden Diaries, Yvette, Kim, Tandy, Tes, Natalie, Linda and Leftover Recipes for taking part in the fun with round 2! As with the previous two, I won’t be tagging anybody but it would be great if you would copy the questions and fill in your answers on your blog – it’s great fun. 🙂 Please link back to me so I don’t miss out on your answers.

1. Who would you be honoured to have cook in your kitchen?

James Martin.

2. What have you always wanted to cook or eat but never have?

Truffles – maybe James can bring them along when he comes to cook for me.

3. What is your favourite part of a chicken?

The oysters, although not very filling.

4. Do you use a knife or a vegetable peeler to peel potatoes?

A knife – doesn’t everyone?

5. What one item do you keep in the kitchen you know you shouldn’t use but do?

Aromat – I know, I know! How about if I justify that I only ever use it when scrambling eggs and occasionally on chicken wings.

6. Do you like using the new culinary foam with your meals?

Absolutely not – I won’t tell you what I think it looks like either – very off putting!

7. What 3 meals would you take to a friend who is sick in bed?

Cottage pie, chicken curry and probably lasagne.

I use a vegetable peeler. To cook for me? How ’bout Rafael Nadal. I suspect he sizzles rather nicely – hee-hee… 🙂

As to potatoes I have done both a knife and a peeler and overhwhelmingly prefer a peeler.

  I usually use a vegetable peeler to slice cheese for on toast and to make ribbons of zucchini and carrots. Have a super day John. 🙂

I’m a peeler person all the way. And I haven’t seen these culinary foams. I’ll have to go check them out now. Have a good one Mandy!

  There was a craze a short while ago on all of the cooking shows with finishing a meal off with the foam – looks really yucky! Have a super one too Kristy. 🙂

no..i use a peeler. 😉
FYI, If I were sick in bed, a mixed veggie dish would be something for me.

I wanna be your friend when I’m sick, ha! Those would be some great meals to eat if I were feeling under the weather. Also, you’ve got to try truffles soon. So, so good. Love this idea…thanks for sharing, Mandy. xx

Like you, I send lasagne when friends are ill or recuperating. And I’m an oyster fan, too. It is my favorite thing about cooking Thanksgiving dinner: I get the turkey’s oysters! Foam doesn’t bother me, except that it has been over-played. Time for chefs to move on to some new gimmick. Have a great day!

  I bet your lasagne is out of this world ChgoJohn. I wonder what the next gimmick will be – would be great if we could come up with something the world famous chef’s would want to use. *Puts thinking cap on*. Have a super day. 🙂

I liked getting to know more about you! I hate foam. I agree that is not pretty and really doesn’t do anything for the enjoyment of eating.

  Thanks Geni, glad I am not the only one who doesn’t like the whole foam thing. Have a super day. 🙂

I have a friend who has a recurring dream that she is James Martin´s wife but that she has to do all the cooking. Rather worrying, maybe she needs therapy!

  Haa haa, oh dear, your poor friend – why be married to James if you have to do all the cooking! 🙂
