I've been making green beans, boiling them about 10 minutes, and then sauteing them with bacon, onions, and lastly nuts. Yum!<br /><br />Looking forward to your recipes section of the blog.<br /><br />I also appreciate your dancing and singing with JT as you cook. I'm a big fan of his.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-7235252259134447942010-09-05T08:18:08.368-07:002010-09-05T08:18:08.368-07:00ffc, you are right, there are several commas I cou...ffc, you are right, there are several commas I could have done without, as well as, I might say, several places where others might have added more! I wonder if I feel the need for more of them when experiencing the "tired brain" phenomenon, to moderate the pace of thought so I can keep up--as I am "chewing" more slowly.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-7775624895952262412010-09-04T22:08:51.010-07:002010-09-04T22:08:51.010-07:00New convection oven!

I didn't know the remodel included THAT!<br /><br />Well, I confess that I had strange thoughts while reading this article--thoughts about punctuation, rather than cooking. I teach English literature; I love books. However, I find punctuation necessary but boring. I was reading your blog article and thinking about all of the commas in it: that they are stylistically like the commas I want to put in my writing--and therefore apparently very out of date! I work for a very traditionalist and classical online school, but my "boss" (principal) often criticizes my comma usage. I'm not quite sure but I THINK it's because I use them in places that they are not now used. I understand this--I even understand the new "rules," but really, must we be so rigid? Even as teachers? And what message does this send to our students--especially students from families that are traditional and already have an understanding of the importance of laws in life? Couldn't we take the opportunity of grammar to begin to explain the difference between laws and rules, between usage and policy, etc.? I don't know. In our age we are inundated with relativism and the lack of belief in rules at all, yet it seems to me that making a mistake in the opposite direction will lead us away from truth also.<br /><br />So, back to Gretchen Joanna's blog. I found a certain self-justification in seeing all of those COMMAs. I did not notice the elements of cooking so much as I saw commas. What can I say? How strange my comments here must seem: I don't comment on food or cooking at all, but on the way in which Gretchen Joanna expressed her experiences with food and cooking. But for those of us write, commas are a food in themselves--a way in which we digest the matters of life and translate them into logical and meaningful matter--even if we are bored with them, as I am.freshfirecoalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408039211878554615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-44458677434262188282010-09-04T11:48:08.236-07:002010-09-04T11:48:08.236-07:00I love cooking to music--actually any housework do...I love cooking to music--actually any housework done to a soundtrack is so much more joyful.

Sounds like you had lots of fun. I haven't had ratatouille since college, when some friends used to make huge batches after church at their little house, and invite anyone -- ANYONE -- who wanted to come eat. What fun we had! I've been wanting a "food" page on my blog too, but haven't gotten around to it, and am not quite sure how to do it. So when you do, please share how to construct one.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-42865708491653033822010-09-04T02:26:55.408-07:002010-09-04T02:26:55.408-07:00What delicious looking dishes!
