Well, it's been about 6 months since we last posted, and we keep saying we must get down to it and start posting again. So I'm putting up this nice handy one to ease us back into it. This is a classic White Sauce. It can be served with ... http://cookzors.com/?p=7 We're just standing up from Dinner at JD's parents' place, we're soo full we can barely waddle to the couch and we just wanted to wish you all a happy, peaceful Christmas. http://cookzors.com/?p=103 Sorry about the recent lack of posting, but between work and dogs, and the fact that it's dark and we're tired, we just haven't been up to it.

Granted, there ... http://cookzors.com/?p=98 Ok, it's been quite a while since we posted anything. We've just had a new addition to our family and he has been keeping us extremely busy! Behold our little bouncing boy called Barley: Barley is a 10 week old Golden Retriever puppy. He's very cute and very friendly, and has eyelashes ... http://cookzors.com/?p=92 The onion is one of my least favourite things to chop, so lets get it out of the way early, eh? The beauty of this method is that it helps to minimise the streaming, stinging eyes that usually accompany onion-chopping. I think this is because the onion is pretty much held ... http://cookzors.com/?p=74 It's funny that the co-incidence of me breaking a chef's knife should coincide with JD's excellent post on knife technique.
