from Alison
This quippy saying, coined this morning by Lou, couldn’t be truer and in fact, describes my Monday perfectly.

Incubator Kitchens
Thu, February 04, 2010

I was fascinated to hear this week about six “Incubator Kitchens” launching in the Madison area. Like technology incubators, these kitchens will offer culinary start-ups support and a nurturing environment. The idea is that commercial kitchens will be offered to farmers and food entrepreneurs who don’t currently have the infrastructure or money to do what they want to do. The work in these kitchens will in turn help create great food, great companies and a stronger culinary network in Madison. It’s also a step forward in making more locally-produced food.

Squint just the right way and you’ll see your friends Alison and Shannon on the back of this Honey Nut Cheerios box. But, this really isn’t about us. In August, many of you helped support the ShopRite Partners in Caring and General Mills campaign “Blog it Forward to Fight Hunger.”

Cooking Ahead for an After Ski Feast
Mon, January 25, 2010
from Alison
Nine of us sat around the table Sunday night, tired and hungry, as the husbands heaped generous portions of chicken parmesan and sausage lasagna onto their plates and thanked cooking with friends. It was two days of fantastic skiing in the Catskills, as we relaxed around the table, filling our bellies with a scrumptious homemade meal before our two and a half hour drive home.

Indian Cooking Lesson
Thu, January 21, 2010
from Shannon
When my friend Preeti recently gave me a silver container full of cardamom pods, mustard seed, cinnamon, cloves, coriander and cumin, and an invitation to teach me Indian cooking, I was thrilled. This past weekend, the two of us planned a family dinner with our husbands and combined four kids. On the menu: Peanut Chicken, Eggplant and Mushroom Curry, Dal, Cardamom Infused Rice, and Rice Pudding.

Cooking with Friends (in rollers)
Mon, January 18, 2010
from Alison
Yes, that’s me pictured in hot rollers by the stove with a friend. Looks like a snap shot from the 1950’s, right? Well, there’s actually a cute story behind it (at least I think so!).
