Another New Addition

Yesterday was a day for big news for our family.  We found out that we will be having another little girl.  It will be official.  My son and I will be outnumbered.

It's going to be a girl!

So I will have another little line cook coming in a a few months.  We will definitely have a kitchen full of a little helpers in a few years.

Post Christmas fun

Christmas this year was a wonderful event, from some great gifts from all, to seeing my children light up as they opened their presents.  Myself I got 2 things that I will be sharing in more detail soon, but have had some great fun this past week with them.

One of the first things I need to get a picture up of, my mother made an Apron with "The Gadget Chef" embroidered on it.  I was so shocked, I was pretty much crying with laughter.   I will definitely be putting a picture of it on here once I get a chance to.

Another item I got, was the Kitchenaid Food Processor attachment, and while I haven't had a chance to fully go over it, I did use it to dice up some toppings for a salad last night.  My only thoughts were wow.  I absolutely love the dicing the blade.  The tomatoes didn't come out quite as well as I would have hoped, but the cucumbers, carrots, and celery looked like restaurant style toppings, absolutely beautiful.  I also decided that if you want to dice up a mirepoix (onions, celery, and carrots for the rest of us) for a soup base or whatever, you would be able to dice them up into small bites in no time flat with this little beauty, my poor knives might get jealous.

Hopefully I will be able to get a review and some other details up soon.

For now I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and have a safe and flavorful New Year.

Some Thanksgiving Results

Thanks everyone for taking the time to take my Thanksgiving Survey.

If you haven't taken it, just go to The Gadget Chef Thanksgiving Survey.

Or you can See the current results.
Please note, due to some compatibility with Google charts, there is a link to a popup that will let you see it, if you can't see it embedded in the page.

I will keep it going until Thanksgiving, so please participate.

So far it looks like the majority of people are looking forward to stuffing/dressing for Thanksgiving.  I certainly can't blame them, thats my favorite as well.  Looks like I'm going to have to find a good recipe to share with everyone.  If anyone has any that they suggest, I welcome the comments and recommendations.  I admit this would be my first time making it, I usually just get to enjoy my mother's dressing.

I think in the near future, I will have more polls, and let some of you decide what kind of recipe you want to see.  Maybe we will put some Pinterest results to the test, and see if they are the real deal, or real fails.
