I always loved cooking, especially for my Father but when he passed it all stopped. Cooking for myself seemed pointless. Until I re-discovered Visions Cookware. I tried Visions in the 90s and hated it. But I fell in love with it this time around, the beauty of it! Cooking became fun again!
I'm no chef but I love to cook! I love all sorts of cookware old and new. I love all kinds of food! I love other stuff too! Hopefully in my sharing there might be something you enjoy.
If there is anything you'd like to see, let me know.
As always, Thanks for watching!

Good Wednesday!
Today is the day. My 16 year old PC needs a good dusting, fans replaced and some new heat sync compound. Always run the risk of not booting up again. To say my AMD Phenom II, 6 core Black Edition CPU has served me well, is an understatement! I'm going to hook up my Father's old HP All-in-One so I can still watch some K-Drama whilst I attempt this renovation. Wish me luck! Fingers crossed!
See you soon, hopefully!

I was going to make a sandwich from 1963 but the kitchen lights won't turn on! 😥

Ghee Again! 😀
If you haven't yet made Ghee it's about time! You can even use Walmart salted butter!
1. Cut 3 sticks of butter into chunks and cook under medium heat. 4 if your jar can hold more.
2. Boil off all the water content in the butter, stirring occasionally.
3. The milk solids will separate and fall to the bottom of the pan.
4. When it starts to froth, the solids are actually frying, toasting. If you stop before this you have clarified butter.
5. Cook a little longer to impart the toasty flavor.
6. Strain. You can use cheese cloth or any fine filter.
7. Let cool on counter.
8. You can put it in the cupboard as is, or place it into the fridge for a couple hours to solidify. Then into the cupbaord. It lasts for months at room temperature.
Go Ghee!

P.S. Homemade Ghee smells like Heaven! No store bought Ghee has this smell. Evey month or so give it a snif. It will smell like bad milk or butter when it's time has come. But chances are you will have devoured it well before that.

Good Monday Evening!
I've got a plan for Wendy's Chili - No Beans tomorrow. In the meantime... I'm so in love with Pickled Red Onions! Where have they been all my life! First time on a Nathan's Hot Dog and it won't be the last! Better than sauerkraut!!!!
Pickled Red Onion
1 small red onion, sliced
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
2.5 tablespoons cane sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 garlic clove, smashed lightly, peeled (optional)
1/4 teaspoon Sichuan Peppercorns (optional)
Instructions
Slice onion thin in rings. Heat the vinegar, water,
sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Don't boil. Pour over
the onions. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then
store the onions in the fridge.
All the Best! Xeta

Good Tuesday Evening!
You may know I just uploaded a Jalapeño Chicken Sandwich video. Sometimes I'll take a video down if I think I can improve it or if there is something about it that will haunt me when I rewatch it. I didn't care for my plating, the arragement of the Jalapeño bottle caps and more importantly I didn't grate enough cheese to make the sauce thicker. Bottom line was I just wasn't happy with it. And I've been struggling all day about whether I should re-do it or do something else. My brain hurts over food I tell ya! Anyways, A BIG THANK YOU! for all your comments ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
R.I.P. Jalapeño Chicken Sandwich!
To be continued!

Happy 4th of July!
I hope everyone is having a great 4th and keeping as cool as possible during The END OF TIMES! Too soon? 😁
I'm afraid there will be no Tombstone Saturday this Holday weekend. I made one. Filmed it. It tasted great. But I made a mistake with the cheese and wasn't happy with how it looked so... 😥
That said I do have some goodies coming. Two small-ish items hopefully arriving unbroken Monday and a biggie (below) that is awaiting shipment. Very exciting!
May all you cookware wishes be bright! and shiny! and if not a dab of Mothers Mag will polish it right up! 😀
Best to all!

Good Sunday Morning! Okay. Music used in my latest Tombstone Base Camp Pizza video was supposed to be copyright free with credits. I received a claim. I'm taking it down and re-posting. Frak! Sigh. My apologies! Man!
