Happy Pi(e) day from my kitchen to yours! Here are some pies I’ve baked at home over the last few years. They’re all apple! 🍎🍏 I enjoy baking because it’s a beautiful blend of science and art. What kind of pie is your favorite? How many digits of pi have you memorized? #pieday #piday #mathnerds #womenintech #cookingisscience #bakeathome (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbGxxoOJGZ3/?utm_medium=tumblr

#RonzoniGardenDelightVegetableSpaghetti #BetterThanBoullionChickenBase #WalmartbrandOrganicCelerySeed My kid is all "omg the whole house smells like dinner" I know, it was fucking good, too. Both the smell & the taste. I'm a nose cooker, if it don't smell right, it ain't right. The only problem with only smelling & not tasting is if you're not aware of the smell of salt. Then you could be all "hurricane season scent" or just a day at the beach, feeling all warm and fuzzy just to sit down to something absolutely unedible. Could used some butter. I debated on it... but ended up not. I would think about half a stick in a whole pot of spaghetti while it's boiling is good. I put all the spices in while the water boiled before the pasta went in. That's when I would added the butter, myself. It also cuts on calories & fat because it's all in water you're gonna pour down the drain but the oils are gonna be there enough to keep the noodles from sticking. That said, I had a huge plate & it only stuck together a little... not badly just as it cooled... turned from warm to cool then it got itself right again. #CookingIsScience So my daughter got this new magic pot for Christmas, I know how to use it... like.. I understand how it's made & the features but I've never used it before, except to help her take off the lid & to serve from it. So I'm doing it for us, today, & I'm breaking up the noodles into 3rds, (swear pasta used to be longer 20 years ago and you could break it into 4ths easy) And she's all "no long spaghetti today" I always always break it. So today I did three handfuls, 3rds, halves and whole... but the pot has this little door in the lid where you're supposed to put pasta and I turn the knob. But it's stuck So she's all "it's use the edge of the box so I don't burn my hands and push it in" Ugh. No can do. Cause she pushed straight & I was all left & right & I was afraid I would break the pot. And of course I dropped half a noodle on the stove which promptly lit on fire. It took her awhile to notice. Then she was all "that never happens to me, I actually get all the noodles in the pot" 0.0
