a peek into my kitchen…

I love it when it’s cold enough outside that I can cook on my woodstove inside…

The chickens are laying well these days, so eggs foo yung is a frequent dish—combined with egg rolls and fried rice and egg flour soup, of course.

Loving my new nonstick egg pan my hubby found…not only for eggs foo yung, but for my morning scrambled eggs, as well!

It was a sad day when I discovered my beloved green tea kettle had started rusting inside, but a happy one when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law gave us this for Christmas!

    Love the wood stove, wish I had one to cook on instead of just heat… So you mentioned Egg Flour Soup, have a recipe anywhere? I have an over abundance of eggs myself and always can use more recipes to use them up with…

      I used these two as my original “base” recipes:
      http://www.food.com/recipe/chinese-egg-flower-soup-ww-464558
      http://chinese.food.com/recipe/egg-flower-soup-41538

      Now it’s second nature and I throw in whatever vegetables I have on hand, making sure there’s ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce in there.

    Gretchen – I’m curious about your electric range. The coils look large enough for it to be an older model. Does it say “Monarch”? Inquiring minds want to know! LOL Seriously, I had a 1950 Frigidaire for many years; had two full size ovens side by side and I could bake 10 large loaves of bread at a time. It was wonderful! Alas, it came to the point where we could no longer get parts when needed and I had to replace it. Found the biggest oven I could find in an electric range but it’s just not the same and no comparison with the quality of metal and porcelain used today.

      Hello Bev! Yes, it’s a Monarch. My in-laws found it at a garage sale for $10! It even came with the original instruction booklet.

      We’ve had to replace one of the burners, but other than that, it’s worked beautifully. I even set it on fire once (never did blog about that time…ahem…but I broiled some bacon a bit too long) and it survived that, too!

      It definitely lets off more heat than a more modern oven, so I try to avoid baking much in the summer, but I will sure miss it whenever we have to replace it.

      Here are a few more posts with stories/pictures of my oven:

    What a beautiful tea kettle! One day, I’ll upgrade and get one instead of using one of my pots for tea water. 😉

Gretchen was prompt in both work and feedback, and I really appreciated the way she worked with a website novice like me.
