The other day I got so into the show I was watching that I manage to burn the curry I was making...it's beyond me how I managed to burn curry, but I did.

5. What recipe are you currently obsessed with? Malibu chicken - just grill chicken breasts, while still on the grill top with a slice of ham and a slice of swiss cheese (I use provalone) and allow to melt. It's served with a sauce made from mayo & mustard mixed together. It's so freaking easy and a nice mix up in our very routine weekday dinners.
6. What's a recipe that you want to try some time soon? I have yet to attempt making my grandpa's amazing chili on my own - that's one I would like to do soon.
7. What's something you want to change about your kitchen? My kitchen is pretty awesome considering it's in a condo. I guess I wish our cabinets were bigger and it had a built in pantry. We had to buy a pantry because there was no place to put our food.
8. Name one other activity besides cooking that you do in your kitchen: Eat? haha. Do dishes? I can only think of food re: things. We don't hang out in the kitchen.
9. Name a new ingredient that you tried recently that you'd previously never cooked with before. Was it a success? sadly I can't think of one. I did get some baby sweet bell peppers and we grilled those up, they were really good.

3. What is your favorite herb? Parsley
4. What herb(s) do you hate? I can't think of any off the top of my head.
5. What recipe are you currently obsessed with? I'm trying to master a kick asss steak on the charcoal grill.
6. What's a recipe that you want to try some time soon? I've been searching hi and low for a great arroz con pollo. It's DH's fave but I have a hard enough time just making rice. Anybody have one?
7. What's something you want to change about your kitchen? The size. Right now our kitchen has two counter tops that are a total of about 36 inches. But with appliances we only have one small one...when we don't have dishes drying. The new one is about 3-4 times the size. Can't wait!
8. Name one other activity besides cooking that you do in your kitchen: No room for anything else.
9. Name a new ingredient that you tried recently that you'd previously never cooked with before. Was it a success? Whole chickens and yes it was. I'd like to try my own dry rub but so far it's not that great. Not bad but nothing exciting either.
Yes it is...gross!!!
Someone brought cookies to a Christmas party that has Star Anise in them. I took one bite, spit it out, and said, "Who brought the Jaeger cookies? Ew!"
And I'm not even joking about barf-inducing. I can't do anything that tastes remotely like black licorice. I'm practically a freak of nature for not loving a Jaeger Bomb.
I hate licorice, but I do love Jager...well I love it when mixed with Red Bull...maybe it's just because I love red bull, but there is always Jager and Red Bull in my home.
1. What is your favorite spice? Tony's Creole seasoning. I know its not a spice, but I love it.

4. What herb(s) do you hate? None
5. What recipe are you currently obsessed with? Chicken Piccata and Caramelized Onion & Prosciutto Pizza both care of PW

8. Name one other activity besides cooking that you do in your kitchen: Wash dishes boo. I also dance while cooking lol
