I know!
9 years. 1,000 posts.
Ok, fine, other people have written 1,000 posts a lot faster. But they're not me.
9 years!!!!!
I'm not going to get all sentimental, or do an in depth retrospective or anything. It is what it is.
When I realized that these 2 milestones were upon me, I went back through my early archives for some inspiration. (Mmmmmemmmmmorieeeees!)
I made a few recipes to share. Some new, some old.
I started with Cauliflower Gratin from the Bouchon cookbook by Thomas Keller. I got the book for Christmas in 2004, the same year I started this blog. After all these years, I do believe that including this recipe I have cooked a total of 2 recipes from it.
This gratin is a crazy, labour intensive recipe that makes an absolutely stunning dish.
Recipe here.
I adored the BBC food series The Best and had to have the book. I used the book in an early WCC challenge in 2005. In 2013 I made Ben's Tomato and Herb Spaghetti.
There is NO WAY I could leave Sandra Lee out of my celebration.
I made her Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms from Semi Homemade Cooking. We were fans of the tasty sauce of mushrooms and mustard, and the freshness of the tomatos added right before serving.

I'll be back soon with a few more recipes made especially for my 9th celebration.
Cheers!
