What Do You Cook When You're Cooking For One?
7/14/11 11:31 AM

I cook in my tagine all the time! I finally bought the small traditional cooker that you place under it- going to use it this summer.
But if you don't use it for a long time, cure it just in case...I had one in storage and when I went to use it, it cracked in half on the stove.

I do vinegar in a jar with saran wrap on the opening. Poke a few holes with a fork (not near the edge) and those little suckers go in and can't get back out and drown....works every time!

squirt of ginger and lemon grass from gourmet garden. Mix to taste
slather on fresh salmon- you can either then put in those ziploc steam bags for 3-4 min OR fry it in olive oil skin side down for 5 min or so- then stick in oven 375 degrees for like 10 min or until done.

I just use those command hooks one for the hair dryer the other to hold the cord nicely (ok it was for the straightener but the hole on the cord wasn't wide enough for the hook). I have also used cup holders (take out the cup and insert the hair dryer) but couldn't find a nice cheap wall mounted cup holder...

My LG washer/dryer is awesome- put in a load of clothes in the AM- come back from work all nice and dry- the only problem- wrinkles- but then you just don't over load the machine. I love it! works well in my tiny tiny kitchen!
