Please join Celia, who blogs over at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial, by sharing with us what is in your kitchen! I thought this was a fun little “get to know other bloggers better” little post to participate in. After all we spend alot of our time in each other’s kitchens as it were.
My pride and joy....Bosch mixer.
Jason got me this Bosch mixer for Christmas and I love it. It can go from whipping egg whites to kneading bread in a flash! I used to do everything by hand or with a small electric hand blender and sometimes I still forget to use this! Old habits die hard…..
Since you are all my friends I will let you see my messy fridge! There’s pie dough in there waiting to be made into dinner, a package of Meyer lemons waiting for inspiration, some peppers waiting to be roasted, a half a dragon fruit and everything else!
I love Celia’s blog and I am hysterical laughing because your fridge is just like mine. I though I was the only one. Welcome sister.
Love the mixer too….
I think there are many of us! They just don’t want to show it…..I always have things “waiting” in the fridge and sometimes….they don’t make it.
It’s so true. I buy things and then I never get to it. I have been wanting to experiment of Sweet plantain empanadas and when I am ready my plantains are too ripe…One day I will be as brave as you and open my kitchen to all…
The smaller bottle of pandan paste on the left is good! That’s exactly what I’m using, on top of pandan juice extracted from the leaves.
I have found no leaves…yet
Do you know anyone who lives in SF? I’d got friends who said they’d seen pandan leaves and other Asian knick knacks in a grocer in the Chinatown area.
My sister does! I haven’t gone down to our version of Chinatown yet but I’ll check there first before asking her….although, I know she would love the flavor too!
yeah! you should! let me know the outcome!
thank you for sharing! A
And I love your mixer
Thank you. I found her site because of you!
Loving your kitchen – everything looks so fresh and awesome
Cheers

Awww thank you.
Aaahhh – a fridge after my own heart! For a moment there I thought somehow you’d taken a photo of the inside of mine! At least once a week we have a lucky dip dinner – poke your head in the depths and find something to eat! You never know what you could end up with!!
Thanks for sharing what’s in your kitchen
Hahaha! I do that too!
Thanks so much for joining in, it’s so interesting to see what’s in your kitchen! Pandan essence is such an acquired taste – I grew up with it, but my husband still doesn’t like it very much, he finds it overpowering! I think the fact it’s bright green doesn’t help either..
Your mixer looks amazing – I’ve never seen one like it before! And yep, my fridge looks like that too – there’s a crashing sound whenever I move anything and stacked glass jars fall over..
I love to try any kind of food and so when I found some little wheat cakes with screw pine flavor I thought well why not? I LOVED it! I really want to try to find some fresh leaves and put it a leaf in with rice while it cooks because I’ve heard that’s very good. If my fridge gets too empty my life is too busy!
Hi Matina!! You MUST make that pandan chiffon!!! It is one of the most amazing things ever! Not sure if you’ve tasted pandan before but it’s a very popular southeast asian flavour! I think you can probably get the leaves from certain Asian grocery stores. If there is a Filipino or Vietnamese grocery store in your area, chances are that they will have them. I had to go through many stores here before finally finding it.
Anyway, messy fridges are great because it means you’re cooking and eating well! If your fridge is neat and empty then it probably means you’re spending too much money on take outs! hahaha.. and btw, i love dragon fruits!! A lot of people think they look scary for some reason though!
Thanks Sam! Yes I have tried pandan and I liked it alot. I can’t wait to make it, I’m hoping this weekend I won’t be busy and I can do it. I think Dragon fruit are beautiful!
Congratulations
I have awarded you on my blog – enjoy right here:

Your mixer looks really interesting, I haven’t seen one like that before. Thanks for sharing.
It’s German. I did alot of research before I bought one and people really loved it. I love it alot too. It’s really good if you do bread as it can handle alot and not break down. I read so many reveiws before buying and this was the choice for me. A bit pricey but I will have it for years and years!
