Getting To Know My New Blog Daughter Teri From Make A Whisk!
First off let me say there will be a recipe up later this afternoon. I've been a busy little bee today and this is the first time I've actually sat down and turned on my computer! For now though I'd like to introduce you again to my new blog daughter Teri from Make A Whisk! Give her a warm hello and be sure and stop by her site as well...She has some fabulous recipes!
Without further ado here is Teri in her own words!
1. What is the name of your blog and how did you come up with that name?
The blog is called Make a Whisk. Not a very interesting story, I guess, but I was looking for a cute, kitchen-related name. Obviously, it's a play on words (Make a Wish).
2. How long have you been blogging?
I started blogging in December, in the middle of my Christmas cookie baking session.
3. What made you start your own blog?
Part of it was that my mom missed knowing what I made for dinner (well, and eating what I made for dinner!) after I got married and moved out. Part of it was that I often get asked for recipes when I bring dishes to work, and I thought it would be cool to have a place to direct those people. Part of it was that I was an English major, and I love to write. Part of it was just having a place to track all the different recipes that I make, with the tweaks and changes that happen along the way.
4. Do you cook everyday? Or is there a specific time in the week that you cook more than others?
I do cook dinner just about every day. I travel for work quite a bit, so when I'm gone, my husband cooks, but otherwise it's me.
5. What is your favorite kitchen tool?
My whisk, of course! ;-) Actually, this is a really, really tough question for me. I love just about everything about our kitchen, and just about everything in it. We were very fortunate at our wedding and shower to receive tons of fantastic cooking gifts, and I love every one of them. I was most excited about our 11 Cup Food Processor, though I'm partial to our Stand Mixer as well. I guess it just depends on what I need at the time!
6. If money was no object and you could take a food vacation anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Hmm, that's a tough one. I guess Italy would be at the top of the list. We love Italian food!
7. If you could spend the day with one famous cook/chef and cook with them for fun, who would it be and why?
Alton Brown is probably our favorite of the celebrity chefs. My husband and I attended a demo that he did in Chicago last year, and it was a lot of fun. I think it'd be fun to lurk in his kitchen and watch him figure everything out!
8. What is your favorite food to eat?
I love cheese--and just about every kind.
9. What is your favorite food to cook?
I like to cook most things, even if I don't like to eat them. My favorite part of cooking is sharing what I've made with others, so my favorite thing to cook is someone else's favorite thing to eat, if that makes any sense at all. :)
10. If I was going to cook one recipe from your site, which one would you recommend and why?
The Macaroni & Four Cheese with Bacon Breadcrumbs is all I can think about these days. I highly recommend it. :)
Thanks for playing along Teri! I'm definitely going to try that Macaroni and cheese soon!
