Sara Kirchheimer's Profile

Toaster oven is a must-have for quick lunch on corn tortillas. The trick is to toast TWO at once in a stack, so they don't dry out. One side of each will toast while the other sides steam each other. Yum. However, wooden spoons are not really sanitary, and there are so many silicon utensil choices in the kitchen shops and discount stores now that there is no reason to use wood. My tiny kitchen in an elegantly decrepit apartment building in Uptown (meaning "upriver") area New Orleans is only 6 x 6, but I make room for both an immersion blender for quick chocolate and/or fruit smoothies and a serious blender for carrot and green vegetable smoothies.
