The Kitchen Bitch: Wine Tasting Day
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2009/01/wine-tasting-day.html
Part of my job at the Chronicle is prepping for the wine tastings each week. Its a big job. I have to open all the boxes that get delivered for a particular tasting and log the wines into a tasting sheet online by vintage, vineyard, appellation, price and importer. This week was German Rieslings. Really. There was a distinct difference from the other Auslese's I tasted. In the end, we got to bring home what was not deemed important to hold onto. I brought two Auslese's home. January 6, 2009 at 11:52 PM.

The Kitchen Bitch: Kitchen Chack-a-torry
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2010/03/kitchen-chack-torry.html
That's what I call this recipe. Its not the basic Chicken Cacciatorie but a little twist and then spin on that recipe. Here's what when on. Chicken leg quarters were on sale so I bagged a grip of them. I used only two here since there is one for each serving. 2 generous cloves of garlic. 2 Tbsp olive oil. 2 chicken leg quarters. 1/3 cup red wine. 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (more if you like). 1 can diced tomatoes. 1 dozen kalamata olives chopped in thirds. 1/2 tsp dried basil. 1/3 package bowtie pasta.

The Kitchen Bitch: S.O.S.
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2009/01/sos.html
This has been one heck of a busy week at the Chronicle! I've been fried, tied, hamstrung and skewered. And today, my dear work buddy Cindy was not there. Oh, Cynd, you left me to the wolves! Here's a photo of Cindy working away in the kitchen last week. It was Photo Shoot day and I had 3 dishes to prep for the photographer. But then there was the 'family meal' day that was set for 1:30. I got in at 9:30 and never stopped until 3pm. Brutal! Labels: Cindy on Vacation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Kitchen Bitch: End of the Road
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2009/02/end-of-road.html
End of the Road. Well, I finished my purpose for this blog. I started it the day I decided to go to the Culinary Academy, I tracked my progress for the 15 months, and now I'm done. Finished. It's over. Very Cool. I have accomplished my goal, now I head into the world to see what I can do with that accomplishment and knowledge. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

The Kitchen Bitch: The Bitch is Back!
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2009/12/bitch-is-back.html
The Bitch is Back! I just woke up from my long year's nap ready to begin more blogging. I needed to unwind and detox from all the work and learning I did at the Ca. Culinary Academy. It is now December 2009 and I'm feeling oh so refreshed! But for now, I just wanted to re-open my blog and begin anew. I'll leave you with the favorite phrase of the Kitchen Bitch: Here's to Food, Fork You! Welcome back and I cant wait to see whats to come. I do love zucchini! Mmmm that sounds yummy!

The Kitchen Bitch: Play With Your Food!
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2010/03/play-with-your-food.html
Play With Your Food! If you are going to serve fruit to guests then you might as well 'play with it first'. Buy an inexpensive book on fruit carving. It's relatively easy and very impressive. It just takes a little initiative to be more than you can be. Something like that. (what I keep telling myself). I made this fruit platter simply for the challenge of making a Duck out of a Cantaloupe! It was fun and I loved the result. Give it a try. I like the flower but the blisters on the fingers hurt. Bye!

The Kitchen Bitch: Topped Out on Ramen
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2010/01/topped-out-on-ramen.html
Topped Out on Ramen. True to Kitchen Bitch form I applied a package of Pictsweet baby lima beans. For the fever two nights in a row. I'm thinking I've struck on some kind of magical new health cure because the fever only lasted two nights. Maybe frozen corn would have had it linger longer? Frozen peas most likely would have raised the fever by 2 degrees. I'm not sure and still have plenty of experimentation to do at the next opportunity. Which hopefully won't be for another 7 or 8 years. Me: Soup du Jour.

The Kitchen Bitch: Lark Creek Steak, San Francisco
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2009/01/lark-creek-steak-san-francisco.html
Lark Creek Steak, San Francisco. This has been a busy and rough week for me at the Chron. I've been slaving in the cellar over all the wines to unbox and log-in, I've been researching tons of information to print in the next few editions and I cooked (the bright side) today most of the morning. Tomorrow its back to the dungeon to tackle the wines again for the next upcoming tastings. As a treat for my hard (and volunteer) given effort I decided to dine here. The word verification: hakrag. Me: Soup du Jour.

The Kitchen Bitch: A Juicy Porterhouse Steak!
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2009/12/juicy-porterhouse-steak.html
A Juicy Porterhouse Steak! For my non-Christmas/Holiday dinner this year I was craving a porterhouse steak. I found a good one that was calling out my name, "yo Kitchen Bitch, I'm a real heart stopper" so naturally I fell for that line. I knew it was way too much for just me but I had a plan for what I couldn't finish. I really enjoy this soup! Labels: Food and Wine. Top ramen noodle soup. January 10, 2010 at 4:43 PM.

The Kitchen Bitch: Linguini and Clams
http://thekitchenbitch.blogspot.com/2010/03/linguini-and-clams.html
People can be so fussy. Good thing I'm a Kitchen Bitch. I need to blog before I cook I guess cuz I keep eating and tossing everything I need in the photos). Naturally you need linguini so I didn’t think I had to take a picture of that for you just like I’m not going to take a picture of me burping after this great meal! I know its crazy but I like to put some parmesan cheese on top of my linguini and clams too. I eat the way I like! Happy new year to everyone, and a great 2011! January 5, 2011 at 6:41 AM.
