Spatchcocking

I can't even say that word without creeping out. But it's a term for a new way to cook a turkey. Quickly. And it's crispy. I don't have strong hands. But you might. Check out this clip.

Ok- any interest?
I still like to do it the other way!

Kitchen Magicians - PLAYING WITH FOOD

My little darlings from my summer cooking class created some great looking items -
We made crabs, snails, bugs, caterpillars and a toy scooter-
The scooter was not easy. One little darling was determined to make it work. She got it constructed- check it out! So funny....

Here is a picture of what she wanted to make ~

And here is her product ~

And here are other creations :

Rock Candy

I decided to try making rock candy at home before having the Kitchen Magicians try it. Really good idea as it took so much longer to make than what I read and saw on You Tube.
I supersaturated the sugar; 3-1.

And stirred till it was all liquid. I added my food coloring and flavoring- I made an orange kind and the second one, I liked the colors but didn't have any mint or other appropriate flavoring.

I poured it into a bowl and all the directions said, cover it with foil and let it sit for 48 hours.

Two weeks later this is what I got:

I am tipping the bowl so you can see some crystals but there was much more liquid still in the bowl than there were crystals.

I also made an orange kind- that one sat for 3+ weeks. It worked much better but it certainly took longer than 48 hours!
