In the Kitchen...

"or just eat it cold" mmmm…cold pizza? :D I know, I'm used to it now too, but I always feel kind of stupid when I go to someone's house, and they ask me to do something in their dreadful killer…and I don't know how to use it!!! LOL :P
LOL- "dreadful killers" - I like that!!

Annalysa- We have a microwave, but it hasn't worked in years, so we just use it to store pots and pans in. If it did work, we probably wouldn't use it anyway, for the same reasons you don't use yours.

Hmm… kitchen mess-ups. I guess there was the one bread disaster. I was put in charge of baking our bread for the week, but I couldn't get to it until half an hour before we had to leave for two hours of appointments. So, I mixed up the bread dough, and let it rise while we were gone. No problem, right? Well, there was a problem. We got home late in the afternoon, and the bread hadn't risen at all. It turns out I forgot to add the yeast. Oops. We tried stirring in the yeast, but with little success. Thankfully, we were able to get some bread at the store. :-)

Haha Sarah, that's funny! :)
@Rachel - shall we start using that term instead? jk :)

Haha Rachel - just read your first part of the comment. I think I might be able to figure it out…maybe.

What's so bad about them? Lol :)

They destroy your health. Do you really need another reason? ;-)

How? :)

You could say chocolate destroys ur health. :)

Copied and pasted from Annalysa's comment: "Did you know that every 7 seconds the microwave runs, it takes nutrients out of your food?"

I can't imagine how eating food that's full of nutrient-obliterating electric waves can possibly be good for you. :-)

Dark chocolate is actually good for your heart! At least, that's the excuse my mom uses whenever she wants chocolate.

Lol! :)

It's healthier than milk chocolate, anyway. And cocoa beans are vegetables, so "Eat you vegetables" can turn into "Go eat some chocolate!!" (Don't you wish?)

True, but if it has sugar, it's still not good for you. We use carob chips in place of chocolate chips and they are soooooooooo fabulous! :)

haha abi

I tried that once (the whole "chocoalte-is-a-vegetable" thing), but, unfortunately, it didn't work.

how unfortunate for you, Abi. :)

I know. Poor little me. :-) jk!

haha - how old r u?

I'm 16. So I guess not so little. LOL

Nicolas…just wondering but could you perhaps post the recipe for baked zita. It sounds really good and I would like to try it!

It's good for your brain! =D

Well, I could probably post the recipe for baked ziti, though I'm not sure what baked zita is. :P Sorry, I just can't help it.

Ingredients:
1 lb. pork sausage
1 lb. ziti pasta
2 jars spaghetti sauce (about 52 oz.)
6 slices provolone cheese
8 oz. sour cream
1-2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
2 T. Parmesan cheese

Brown sausage. Drain the fat. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer 15 minutes. Boil ziti pasta and cook al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain. Rinse to avoid sticking. Preheat oven @ 350 degrees.

Layer ingredients in a 13x9 baking dish.
Spread 1/2 ziti over bottom of pan.
Provolone cheese (cover the ziti).
Spread sour cream over provolone.
Scoop 1/2 spaghetti sauce mixture over sour cream.
Spread remaining ziti.
Sprinkle mozzarella over ziti.
Scoop remaining spaghetti sauce mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until cheeses are melted and lightly bubbling.

Thanks! =D

Nicolas!!! You know what I meant!!!
Thanks for posting the recipe for baked ZITI! I can't wait to try it!

Sorry, my name is not Nioclas. :P And you're very welcome.

Hey, since you're both here, why don't we make something!

Oops! Sorry that I misspelled your name!

What should we make?

Hmmmm….any suggestions? Do you know how to make Poppyseed Chicken Casserole? It's really good!

No problem. It's just enjoyable to poke fun at you when you misspell. :P

No, I don't. Doesn't sound too bad, though. How do you make it?

No I don't know how to make it. We can try it though.

I can tell you enjoy making fun at me when I misspell…it's not easy to miss that! :)

Let me get my recipe…pulls cookbook of the shelf

Alright, here are the ingredients.

Chicken Breasts
cream of chicken soup
sour cream
poppy seed
salt and pepper

ritz crackers
melted butter

Do we have those ingredients in here?

checks around in the kitchen Yep…we have them all.

Of course we do. This is the Memverse kitchen–we've got everything here! :D

Yeah…I just said we had them all…..

Great!

First, cook your chicken breasts in either the oven or crock pot, and then shred it up. Mix with soup mix, sour cream, poppy seed, and salt and pepper, and put in your pan. Melt butter, crush up ritz cracker, and mix those together. Put on your chicken mixture, and back at 350 for 30 minute, or until golden brown. Enjoy!

That's GREAT! :D I love having everything available =D

Hey, I think we've had something like this before. Though, not exactly the same. Looks good! :) Let's get started!

Alright! shreds chicken up We happened to have it already cooked! =D ;-)

How convenient! :D Or maybe the Memverse kitchen stuff just works really fast. :P

Yeah, in this kitchen we can speed time up so our dishes get done sooner :D :P

So what should I do?

Nicolas, are you feeling all right today?

ditto

Nicolas, are you feeling all right today?

UHhh….why do you think he isn't?

He's being quite silly today.

Yes… why do you ask? I'm doing sorta okay, though–a little tired, with a slight headache.
