Quick! What's the last thing you made in the kitchen?
It doesn't matter - a slice of bread with butter counts as "cooking" for this thread. I just wanna know - what's the absolute last thing that came out of your kitchen?
My house currently smells of a batch of mint chocolate cheesecake brownies I just whipped up. Letting them cool is proving difficult...

ham on wheat, mayo, mustard, provolone, iceberg, and some delicious vine-ripe tomatoes (which inspired the sandwich in the first place).

lamora at 9:56PM on 12/19/08
a really self indulgent comfort food dinner, consisting of baked potatoes {with nothing on them but salt and pepper, my one feeble attempt at being virtuous} a big french bowl of homemade hot chocolate, and a slice of a pumpkin spice cake i made a few weeks ago and stuck in the freezer.
cybercita at 10:06PM on 12/19/08
26 dozen chocolate chip cookies because my friends boyfriend is a stupid ass and signed up for a cookie exchange and I may be as big of a stupid ass for offering to help.
There was wiiiinnnnneeee and a SHEET (no pi perk and iz) of red though.
ChelleyD01 at 10:37PM on 12/19/08
Roasted beets and skillet fried steak -- I'm by myself tonight. Eight inches of snow, and more on the way, this will be a cozy weekend!
ride&cook at 10:46PM on 12/19/08
an openfaced cream cheese (when the brie ran out) proscuitto sandwich on sourdough bread.
blizcheetah at 10:47PM on 12/19/08
LOL @ChelleyD01 ~ why didn't you enlist the help of your gaggle of sluts for 26 dozen cc cookies?
I'll be happy to take a few dozen off your hands, wine that is, and some cookies would be great, too! They are my favorite. You must REALLY like the boy? haha. Wow, that's a whole lot of cookies.
PerkyMac at 10:57PM on 12/19/08
Oh Jerzee, tell us more. I loooooove sauerkraut, pork and mashed potatoes. I was born and raised in the South, but my mom was born in Pennsylvania, Daddy in New Jersey. I think it must be a Northern thing? I have not found a single person that likes it around here. Weirdos!
Last thing I made was pasta salad. Pretty yummy.
floridagirl at 10:57PM on 12/19/08
Today I baked 2 hams, 1 butternut squash with cranberries, macaroni and cheese, jalepeno-cheese cornbread, glazed carrots, chicken chili, and cupcakes.
beth1 at 11:06PM on 12/19/08
@ nightowl - I love you right now because ramen is as sad as my noodle-roni parmesean box I just finished. :)
MaresyDotes at 11:07PM on 12/19/08
gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies (the neighborhood kids are coming over to decorate tomorrow!)
veggieout at 11:23PM on 12/19/08
A watery mess. I brought in 2 deck chairs & a small table that had a couple of inches of ice on them and they're melting on my previously clean floor. I keep moving a beach towel around to catch the puddles.
PerkyMac at 12:35AM on 12/20/08
Quiche with swiss, bacon, spinach and onion.
The crust was a slightly sweet frozen pie crust from Trader Joe's, spinach was on its last day before it hit the trash, cheese was a small block from the back of the freezer, and I didn't have quite enough bacon. All in all, edible, not yucky, but far from great.
And because of the fear of snowstorms keeping us from work, I've been stuck in crappy airport hotels for the 3rd night in a row. I really miss my kitchen!

I was at the store today and they had pork should on sale for .89 a pound and I said oh yea. I took it home and seasoned it and set it aside. Oven to 325. I sliced up 2 sweet onions and fried those in a large LeCreuset and then when they were good and fragrant I took them out and browned the pork. Once brown I took it out and turned the heat to low, added one Lager, 1/3 cup of applesauce, pepper flakes about 2 tbsp, celery salt, pepper, 3 cloves of garlic smashed and 2 lbs of sauerkraut to the mix. Let that warm through and make a sauce. I then added back in half the onions moved the half the mixture to one side dropped the pork in there covered with the other half of onions and spooned some of the kraut mixture over the top. Lidded and into the over for 3.5 hours.
Served with mash potatoes. OMG the house smelled great.
So tender and the kraut lager gravy was awesome. If you can find a pork shoulder or roast on sale give it a try. Great winter meal.
JerzeeTomato at 4:03AM on 12/20/08
Jerzee, if I smoked, I would need a cigarette. Oh my, you should write mushy romantic novels (for foodies of course). I can see it now...."and they whipped the potatoes with a just a little dab of succulent cream. They looked adoringly into each others eyes and he breathed the words she longed to hear... are the potatoes smooth enough for you?" Little lack of sleep here..
floridagirl at 8:32AM on 12/20/08
Lunch: the first 2 slices of dark rye bread from a loaf I just picked up at the farmer's market, with a slice of prosciutto folded in half around 3 slices of salame Napoli.
mongoose at 8:39AM on 12/20/08
The chile.....a huge crock pot of fresh vegetables and beans now we are making corn bread to go with it. We usually toast whole dried chile peppers and grind them, but had other things to do, so we just toasted the molido already ground in a pan for a moment, and while I love to spend time handeling something that will burn my eyes out, the already ground was just as good.
Shelleyanne at 9:21AM on 12/20/08
A cup of coffee with cream and a poppyseed/salt bagel with cream cheese, red currant jam on half.
sobriquet at 9:33AM on 12/20/08
Dry aged prime rib from seeing Guy Fieri do it on the teevee. Man was it yummy!
karenevans at 9:57AM on 12/20/08

i made a pizza with pillsbury pizza crust in a tube for the first time. it tasted like a biscuit. not in a good way, and afterward I felt like I swallowed a brick.
delilah at 6:34AM on 12/21/08
