Teddy’s Insane Laws For The Kitchen & Cooking - Rule #5

Teddy’s Insane Laws For The Kitchen & Cooking

There Really Is A Method To My Madness


Rule № Five

Making Mistakes In The Kitchen & Anywhere Else Is Human

I know I am infallible. I tell my children that every day. It is the rest of the human race that makes mistakes. So with great patience, I have learned to accept the imperfection of mankind.

We all make mistakes. In the kitchen, most of the time these mistakes are not very critical. The worst that can happen is you have to ditch the soup because the head of the salt shaker came off and the whole thing fell in. (Yes it does happen and I always swear it was an invisible imp or some ghost out to get revenge.) Or you thought you were seasoning with Turmeric, and find yourself pouring in black pepper because the kids started fighting and you lost your concentration. So you forgot the rice and it burned, or the spaghetti and it became soggy and yucky. Mistakes happen. Don’t try to be Superman or Superwoman all the time. Indeed, trying to be perfect only makes one more flawed.

“The greatest perfection is our imperfection.”

Be you. That is all anyone asks. If in the end, if all you learn from the following recipes is how to make a bowl of spaghetti and grill a decent steak, that too is an accomplishment.

The funds are donated directly to the needy families - regardless of religion, race or creed. The remaining 50% will be donated to a Rape Crises Center for Women in Israel. Paula obviously has a knack in the kitchen. I took this recipe but remember folks it implies you have Cream of Tartar and implies Cornstarch and Baking soda. If I had all this stocked in my kitchen - trust me I would al

Shrek Cookbook - Book Review

(***Due to layout of this review, if viewed in an RSS reader, certain sections may seem duplicated.) Before we begin, the normal disclaimer. This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher. (Indeed as far as I could tell every recipe in this book can be kept kosher.) It is not that difficult to find equivalent and healthy kosher substitutes these days, especially in the United States. Book Details: The Shrek Cookbook , published by Dorling Kindersley ( www.dk.com ) is a publicized as a cookbook for children (ages 4-8).
