Just Kitchen Talk

It’s nice to have a place to talk about food! It is also nice in this mobile, digital, transient age that we can at least still gather around the virtual kitchen table, or the hearth or even the fire as people have done for eons. It’s heartwarming, it’s comforting, it’s sharing; some of what we hope to share with you from our country kitchen.

We don't always eat like this (though we did for much of our lives), but as we know much of the type of food we are demonstrating is fattening, and too much of a good thing is not a good thing.  Most meals at home these days are healthy and preferably lean, sometimes even meatless.  But it's nice to have a treat on a special occasion or one night a week.  It is also nice to learn to make these dishes and goods in order to preserve and carry on tradition.  We may also look at ways to bring tradition and healthy eating together.  The deep-frier is one example; the ability to have some fried foods that are not just completely saturated in oil.

We are kicking around the next few items for demonstration. Since we have had two pie requests, we are thinking along the lines of pie.  We are also thinking of the simple brewing of southern iced-tea. Sounds simple anyway, who can’t make iced tea, right? You’d be surprised. It never ceases to amaze us how many people do not know how to make great iced tea. Likely they were just never shown but we will remedy that soon!

And speaking of tea, the scones episode got us back in hot tea mode so we thought we would get out the teapot, clean it up and brew a good cup or two of afternoon tea, still have those leftover scones you know . . . So grab a cup of hot tea or coffee and join us in our country kitchen. Watch the videos, leave comments and let us know if you have any requests.  And be sure to go over and subscribe to our channel at youtube for the latest video updates and to see all there is from In Our Country Kitchen.

Thanks for stopping by,
