Kitchen Talk with Reesie

What is your favorite thing to make?

Now that it is holiday time, there are certain holiday memories that I have for this time of year. The next holiday is Thanksgiving and of course we all probably have certain things that we all like to doing this time of year. Certain things we always have, like turkey. One time I actually got to the make the turkey. It was kind of a lot of work and took awhile. It wasn't something I had done before, like a ham where you can put it in and have it dealt with - hams are already pre-cooked which are easier to deal with. It was edible, it turned out ok. The night before, my mom prepped him - Tommy the Turkey - she got all the insides out and stuff.

Is there anything that scares you about cooking? That makes you nervous?

Recently, we started cooking in someone else's kitchen where I'm not familiar with the stove. One thing you can do is to try not to touch it in the wrong ways. All the buttons are different, especially older stoves. They are going to have new ones soon that think for themselves. I kind of had to play with it, tinker around without getting your eyebrows burned off. As long as you are safe, it is ok to try it out. Just as long as you don't burn down someone else's kitchen.

What's the funniest thing that happened to you this week?

So far the week hasn't ended yet. Yesterday we almost set off the smoke alarm at hy-vee. That was kind of funny. We had a pan that we weren't paying attention to it. We kind of had a problem.
