In Utah. Lucky for me we then went to Tx and then NC....not the best climate, except for a few months out of the year. So now, right along with the horribly annoying basketball season with the DAM* squeaky shoes all the time, comes the brewing.....And the dirty kitchenSarahThttp://www.chefwife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-59810776372763460122010-07-13T21:12:45.226-05:002010-07-13T21:12:45.226-05:00DCW Jes - That sounds awesome.

Do you have any idea how disgusting it is to clean raw, slimy meat from the inside of a pastry bag and other small objects?? I'll spend an hour cleaning and sanitizing the kitchen after a batch of hot dogs. <br /><br />But, they are so good! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-56335603526651272242010-07-12T10:02:29.735-05:002010-07-12T10:02:29.735-05:00no no no! not a floor stand mixer. i finally got i...no no no! not a floor stand mixer. i finally got it...its huge for my tiny kitchen, we live in a 1 bedroom apartment. its a kitchenaid professional 600 6-quart stand mixer. the thing is huge!! and my husband made bread, he wanted to be the first to break it in. graduation doesnt happen until at least next year or so.DCW Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574936586151077569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-50661693867979113792010-07-08T23:00:30.032-05:002010-07-08T23:00:30.032-05:00Hi Ladies!

Its like drinking a meal after you already have dinner - ugh!<br />DCW Jess, first - do you mean a floor stand mixer? Good Lord lady, you must live in a mansion ;) haha! I have to say that sounds awesome though - great gift for sure. Congratulations on the wedding! Hope it's wonderful - now, when does graduation happen?BKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-45172639518348308692010-07-08T20:17:13.998-05:002010-07-08T20:17:13.998-05:00Hi BK

For a while last year when he was laid off, he was perfecting his bagel recipe (as we were trying to open a bagel shop) I made a corner of my kitchen the bagel corner by putting all of the supplies in a big wicker basket. The down side to all the delicious bagels that he made was that I was the taste tester and gained about 5-7 lbs!<br />Good luck with the brewery but watch out for the beer belly:)hahachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652826960500584502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-4783589788578021672010-07-07T14:42:45.401-05:002010-07-07T14:42:45.401-05:00Hello BK!!

I think that falls into my catergory. See, I am a culinary student also! haha. sorry, it makes me laugh. Everyone always asks "sooo, does that mean you guys make amazing food all the time at home?" or my favorite was "that is so unfair, all that talent in one home!" I try to keep my science experiments confined to one day things and try not to make too much of a mess. yes, i have a ton of dishes from making my very first batch of cream cheese mints (for my own wedding) but, i try to keep my messes to just dishes and delicious sweets! that may change when my future in-laws get here with (my) our wedding present....a kitchenaid stand mixer :) But to answer one of the other questions, its not too much to ask that he keep it confined to work...we are waiting for a house with a garage or a workroom area for the chef to brew beer or root beer at home.DCW Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574936586151077569noreply@blogger.com
