My Kitchen Quirks

You know the story of the woman who cuts her pot roast ends before she puts it in the roasting pan? Why? Because Grandma always did it that way. When asked, Grandma did it because her pan was too small.

When it comes to cooking and our kitchens, I guess we all have things we do that may make other folks raise an eyebrow.  Here are mine:

I saw this type of cheese made in the town of Gruyere, Switzerland.

I only eat imported cheese.  I don't eat shredded cheese because they put cellulose in the packing. I never have food allergy or tummy upset problems when I eat in Europe, thanks to their far stricter food laws. I'm trying small batch, organic American made cheeses in order to branch out but it's tough.

So pretty!

I only eat brown omega cage free eggs.  My body likes cage-free eggs better. No bloating. My eyes love the color. And the omegas are a bonus without having to take one more pill.

This scares me every time.

I live in fear of having to unload the silverware from the dishwasher.  I don't know where it started but I can tell you this. I can't stand to sort silverware. I have no problem dropping it in. I have not problem taking dishes out. But putting forks and spoons in the right spot, the right drawer is something I will avoid for days. Yes, I said it, DAYS!

I have more quirks but that will do for now. I don't want to overwhelm you!

What about you? What do you do in the kitchen or while cooking that might strike others as different, odd or unfathomable? Or do you just have some things that HAVE to be done a certain way? This is a tell-all or maybe just tell-some, so share away!
