Oh my goodness, is this a mess or what?!? Looks like I’m going to be going thru a lot of chickens until I get the hang of this!!!

Practicing some principles with the prep for fajitas tonight. Onion green and red peppers are uniform. Scraps from ends are into a ziplock for one week to use in an omelette or something else later in the week. Scraps to the compost (well, that’s if I had one-another summer project). Now to clean and sanitize my board and move on to getting the chicken ready for the skillet.

Learning the different parts of our knives and comparing how they are manufactured.

And, the carrot and potatoes have been used up. Snacks for the week and the rest into my pot roast.

Appears I’m eyeballing it a bit better now.

I have a feeling my tumblr will turn into how many ways I cook up the potatoes I’ve chopped.

Practicing my oblique cuts/roll cuts on some innocent carrots...

These type of cuts supposedly bring out more flavor. You can bet I’ll be testing that out.

Since carrots are my favorite cooked vegetable, you can be certain to see my carrots cut up this way more often from here on out.

Looks like I’m going to be getting some good use out of this little gift from my daughters trip to Ireland a few years back.

Had to improvise with the back of an old membership card and a sharpie to get something to use as a guide.

Never be afraid to take “whisks”!

Welcome to my Tumblr.

At age 50 I’ve decided to learn something new.

Wish me well as I embark on this journey thru the Culinary Arts Program at Henry Ford.

I’ll be tracking my progress thru Tumblr. Hopefully there will be plenty of tasty dishes, beautiful pastries, elegant platings and maybe even something crazy along the way involving chain saws.
