May. 26th, 2007 12:15 amIt appears that prior to asking for recipe suggestions, I possibly should have asked for some idea of what basic things a person should have in her kitchen.
Right now, my supplies consist of:
I have a cookie sheet of doom (let's just say food goes on tin foil on top of it), a frying pan, a pot (sans lid), and a larger pot (also sans lid, which is basically just used for stewing rhubarb). I think I'm good for cooking utensil-type things -- I have flippy things and scoopy things and stabby things, and it turns out that the weird hinged thing that's been kicking around for several moves is a garlic press.
You're all laughing at me, but -- there is no early way to divine its purpose by looking at it, people. I mean, seriously. There is absolutely nothing about a garlic press that screams "Use me to strain garlic through this mesh!" The thing looks like the bastard child of a stapler, a hole punch, and a microphone.
Also, apparently I own both a spatula. Who knew? There's also a large, scary, double-pronged stabby thing. I have absolutely no idea what it could conceivably be used for, but it can't be anything near as bad as I'm imagining. I don't think any of my friends are ninjas, and even if they were -- I really don't think they'd leave any sort of weapon within stumbling radius of me.
The point of which being: If anyone could suggest some kitchen essentials/essential spices, it would be greatly appreciated.
Seriously, people, I've had food poisoning twice in the last year. There is no way I could do worse things to myself than the universe is doing to me.
Right now, my supplies consist of:
- Three-year old flour
- Sugar
- Honey
- Olive oil
- Miracle Whip
- A RealLemon
- Salt
- Orange salt
- Two sticks of cinnamon
