Yeah, I saw the movie Julie & Julia, you too? I said to myself, a man that can’t cook but loves food, needs to try that. So, here I am and I am doing this for all the non girly men out there that really want to know how to cook some really fine food.
Jump in here with me and we will learn how to do this the right way. There may be spills and hopefully some thrills, either way, when we’re finished, all of us will be more than just adequate in the kitchen.
In this nice little video I show you how to make a quick easy and tasty omelet. Be sure watch till the end for a glimpse of my taste testing with Bullzeye.
I have about 15 dishes filmed and I know it is a backlog. I am going to try now to cook and publish so we can get more of a steady stream to you.
First off I am sorry but there is no video because it really is the same exploding pot recipe.
Well as I sat last night not wanting to cook anything I also didn’t want a repeat of the dinner I ate the night before.
2 pints Haagen-Dazs and ¼ cantaloupe (Yes you read that correctly)
I think I am in a food funk right now knowing that I am about to cook a full on Thanksgiving dinner for the first time and film the entire thing. I know that it isn’t French cooking but I will be using Julia’s recipes to do so.
So what did I do? I pulled my butt into the kitchen and did a variation of the Chicken Supremes. In her book there are multiple variations to that one recipe with just a small change. I didn’t film it because it really would just be a repeat.
The One thing different was I chopped onions and carrots and slow cooked them in the butter for 10 minutes (they did not brown). Then you cook the veggies and chicken just like the other recipe. Once the chicken is down removed the veggies and render down the sauce as you would in the original and just add the veggies on top.
I also boiled up some noodles with butter to put it all on.
All in all it took me approx. 30 min. and I did at least take a picture for you.
Shew....what a weekend. I know I said I would have up the chocolate cake but it just didn't happen. I did finish the hard editing of it last night and this morning. That would be cutting away all the boring stuff and the setup footage of each shot. All I need to do it work on the transitions and add in some text overlays and we will be good to go.
Behind that is the omelette shooting which should be quick and easy. My over all plan is at least two video postings a week and hopefully more. This weekend however I am trying to install a wood pellet stove in my house and had some engagements I had to attend.
I can promise you though that by tomorrow morning you will have a new vid to watch.
I have not fallen off the Julia wagon but things have been busy. I have decided that I can at least post updates daily on what is happening so you know I have not given up the ghost.
I have 5 recipes recorded but I have to edit all of them. I will have at least two edited this weekend, the first being Chocolate Almond cake. Last night I had a wonderful meal of cheerios and kiwi’s. Yeah, I was exhausted from work and just wanted to go home and chill.
It can be difficult to go home and set up all the equipment record and cook for 2-3 hours and then clean up and head to bed. Don’t get me wrong I love doing this but thinking of the meals, filming, cooking, editing, and posting are just a ton of work. I need a crew. J Honestly though if anyone wants a good free meal let me know and we can plan it and you can help with the camera work and at the end you can get a cameo appearance and a awesome meal.
Stay tuned and I will get a video up here soon. Please let me know if you are experiencing lag watching the videos. If my video is unwatchable I will need to figure something else for the posting.
Well I have done it this time. I have made my first major mistake. Please view the first video which is my Kitchen service announcement to you. The second video is the actual cooking of the dish.
This was a lovely dish and I have already used the recipe to make it again in a pinch. From start to finish with this recipe you can be done in less than 30 minutes. The second time I used noodles with the chicken and sauce over them.
I have shot the chocolate almond cake and Onion soup, I just need to edit them.
Here is a great side dish that you can serve with many different meals. I served this with a cream chicken recipe that you will see in my next posting.
