Uh oh... another place to indulge the AD's.. lol

Well, I've been pulled in from that other forum which has basically become my Internet home base. I guess this will be the home base's kitchen, then? lol

 

Welcome Rat!!!

Glad to have you here my friend.

 

So, I'll give the brief version here... I did some official schooling for baking, and have always been very much into home cooking as a hobby, did some restaurant work back in my youth, but realized I really just liked to keep it to the lower stress versions at home. So I end up dabbling in a bit of everything in the kitchen, up to and including cake decorating once in a rare while now if a good friend or family member asks nicely enough. lol

 

Wait.....all this time we've been exchanging letters and I could have had cake?

 

lol I don't think they travel all that well, especially the decorated kind. If you make it out my way, though, I'll be sure to have cake on the menu. :thumb

 

Sweeeeeet. It's a deal.

 

Ha! How about a complete cake menu... start with like crab cakes, then meatloaf (which is really just meat cake), broccoli and cheese mashed potato cakes, then dessert cakes of some type.

 

Heading to priceline....

 

I should warn you ahead... I've not yet managed to really make a good meatloaf. All my previous attempts failed at being up to my own standards, and a few failed to even be up to my cat's standards as well. lol

 

Backing out of priceline...

 

lol I'll update you once I get it narrowed down to where the results are consistently good. The one the cat wouldn't eat? Yeah, I was trying to use shredded carrots in the mixture... huge ball of fail. Not all my cooking experiments work out... btw, do not try to do a "spam curry"... trust me on that one.

 

Welcome Rat... youre doomed

Glad to have you here lol

 

Happy to be here... blame Christopher, it's his doing, if it all goes pear shaped. lol

 

Welcome aboard!

lets get that Meatloaf squared away so we can have dessert.

 

Agreed, I'll revisit it soon enough. I'm on a current Asian/Indian flavors kick right now.

 

Welcome to the fora!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome!

 

I actually add two carrots and a potato to my meatloaf. The secret is b-b-b-bacon!

Just have reverse dinner. Forget the meatloaf and just have cake!

And, welcome, by the way!
