I spy with my blurry eyes, my partner in crime at the sink. Okay, not really a crime partner, we don’t do any of that nonsense. . He’s my helpmate. My bestest boyfriend & husband since the day we met 32+ years ago in 1987. He knows exactly what I’m thinking at any given time and almost always can finish my sentence. I make a mess, he cleans it up. I start a project, he rescues me while I’m scratching my head of how to finish the project. He talks me out of stressful situations and has a way of helping me with the confidence I lack. He’s the back-office guy, the tech guy, the landscaper crew, the breadwinner, and the septic guy fixer. I have a problem, he can fix it. He makes our bed in the morning, and turns down the sheets in the evening. He’s the candle lighter, the laundry folder and basically 1 of a kind. I could not do this gig without him by my side. We are a team glued at the hip. To god be the glory for the good he has done. Amen.  "Reminiscing of the time I had together with my mom, last week. The blessing Flour Pot Kitchen poured upon us, is beyond what we could have ever imagined! And to top it off, mom's favorite color pink, was all around us, in the abundant beauty of flowers!" Ruby P.   Thank you ALL for the emails of RSVP.

Warmth Tradition History Family Deliciousness Spices Depth As soon as the lid is released the smell immediately warms the soul. The combination of spices is intoxicating, but in a beautiful way. I've never been to India perhaps someday I will go. I've been thinking about Mexican food the last few days since we watched a documentary. It made me want to be in Mexico so badly. The ocean, salty air, poolside, and the flavors. Of course the people become family and it's always so hard to say goodbye.. I then looked up where I keep my Dhaba. It's been a while since I've opened it. The smell literally warmed my soul. The warmth that came when I peeled back the lid gave me a sensation in my body. I know that sounds weird but it really did. I'm thinking hot coals, grilled flatbread, fire crackling with big pots slow cooking over the flames. A no hurry kind of night on the deck at dusk. Oh dhaba what should I cook with you? Need an outing like to another part of the world and cannot go?

It is now time to take off the chef coat, apron and pass out in my cozy nest. The kitchen is clean, floor is being vacuumed by the robot and the island is already seeing the reset for the next class. Hats off to restaurant owners who do this day in and day out all day long. I just cannot imagine that type of schedule. My cooking passion is satisfied late this evening and I'm beyond grateful for the women that showed up for this evening's Italian night in at FPK. I don't always listen to the conversations and chatter that take place around the island. I'm typically going in circles doing behind the scenes things and focused on what needs to be done to make this meal happen in a timely matter amongst the organized chaos. There is a lot going on when you are preparing a meal from scratch, start to finish. Once in a while I'll hear a phrase or sentence that was said out loud throughout the evening. These two stuck with me this evening. buona notte
Gather, teach and let them loose to prepare their meal. These kids are amazing. They watch, ask questions, divide into teams and make it happen. Taste, season, fillet, chop, dice, grill and work as a team.
We learn AND we eat together. Some eat habanero peppers and others watch in amazement 🤔🌶️ Each group had the same ingredients to create a meal for their team- working together, dialing in the spiciness and flavors they like. Fresh tortillas hot off the grill. I showed them once. Roll, press and griddle and they finished it off with zero help from me. "Thank you for being so passionate for these children and sharing your talent ♡♡♡ you're amazing." "Cannot wait to come back!" "Thank you for all you do with these kids." And we say THANK YOU for bringing your children and friends to cook with us. Oh what a night.... Late November back on Thursday Eve... Sung to the tune of Frankie Valli's song (1975)... and the words changed just a little bit. .
A great night in the kitchen learning all about the French macaron. With so many variables, there is much that can go wrong with the beautiful, tiny, tasty cookie. Thankfully we had great success with this mighty French cookie! Opening night with pastry chef Debbie Kirschner at Flour Pot Kitchen. Did you miss out on our sold out macaron classes? We would be happy to offer more late winter, just say the word and we can make it happen. |
Inspired by the loves of my life. the hunger in my stomach and my SPONTANEOUS nature.
