For some years prior to my present situation I had just not kept much of a kitchen. Whether because of roomates or house habits etc.. being a whiz in the kitchen just wasnt a priority. Fast forward to present...I've found myself in a nice little spot..no roomies.. and most definitely no female presence likely on an ongoing basis. With no plans of moving base ever and a small kitchen present..I kinda went nuts. This pantry stocking and kitchen gear quest...wooooh! And I discovered something interesting..I got BOTH my parents talents..not just Dad's iron will but also Mom's kitchen witchery. Everything from wicked good kombucha to making rice. My latest thing..I want to salt my own duck eggs and use them for a wicked good and flavorful carbonera.

What are you cooking to gnosh on as you go your own way?
