Pay Attention to Time


This split pea soup with caramelized onions was supposed to be accompanied by oven-roasted kale. However, in my soup-pureeing and onion-sauteeing, I left the kale in the oven too long and ended up with crinkly black bits that disintegrated upon being touched. Not too appetizing.

Thus, a kitchen timer has moved up to number one on my list of things I need to get to make my kitchen functional and efficient. Also on the list are a vegetable peeler, a decent paring knife, and respectful housemates who always clean up after themselves. Hey, a girl can dream, right?

I can do 1 recipe at a time in the kitchen. When I try to do too much at once, I get too focused and then the burning starts...
