We live in Wisconsin. There are long stretches of time during the year when most reasonable people don't venture outside. We are reasonable people. So when we're not canoeing away the summer months, we're probably in the kitchen cooking, counting down the days to our next trip to a warmer locale or that elusive season they call spring/summer/fall. In this house, Andy plays the role of chef, and I (Mary Ann) am the sous chef. It's a good system.
Our hobbies are few and far between, so we figured why not blog about our exciting kitchen adventures. Maybe someone else can get some enjoyment or ideas out of our random cooking experiences. We also thought this might be an opportunity to capture some of the dishes that come out of the kitchen, as Andy does not cook from any recipes nor does he write anything down. We use the internet, movies, tv, etc., for inspiration, but rarely follow any step-by-step instructions.We've made everything from curry cashews to live blue crab straight from Maryland to bread pudding.
One other thing I should mention here, the head chef happens to be a vegetarian. That's right, no meat, no seafood, no poultry. Despite this, he can season and prep a steak as good as the most zealous carnivore out there.
Now you know a little bit about us. Let the cooking begin!
I have been the recipient of a number of Andy and Mary Ann's creations. Trust me, they are the bomb. Never turn down an invite.
