Bastet

From the foolproof roast shrimp to the Honey Vanilla Poundcake of Doom, discuss your experiences replicating - or revising - the recipes seen on the show. My first rule for any Ina recipe: Cut it in half. Then cut the salt in half again.

It's nice to see familiar names from the TWoP thread, and I look forward to meeting new-to-me fans as well. And since we didn't have a Meet Market thread for BC before, it will be nice to get to know you all a bit beyond your postings. On that note, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm a civil rights lawyer living in Los Angeles with my cat Maddie (that's her in the avatar). My primary interest lies with women's rights cases (reproductive freedom, employment discrimination, Title IX, and much more) but I've had my hands in other areas as well. I like to cook, not so much to bake (which is interesting, since I generally like the more regimented and scientific aspects of life), and I eat chicken almost as often as Ina.

Thanks for starting this up, AntiBeeSpray (and thanks for converting it to our Small Talk thread, David). I look forward to reconnecting with those from the TWoP forum who migrate over here, and to meeting new faces that share my love for this wonderful show. For those who don't know me from the TWoP forum, I'm a civil rights lawyer living in Los Angeles with my cat, Maddie (that's her in the avatar, looking much happier than she does right now, having had three teeth extracted on Friday). Sadly, I lost my kitty Baxter - whose various travails were covered in the Meet Market thread over the years - unexpectedly just before Christmas. We live in a 1938 fixer-upper that, nine years later, I have finally actually fixed up. I finished all the major renovations before the end of the year (other than a total redo of the kitchen and bathroom, which is still several years away), and am STILL painting the trim work and new plaster resulting from my new windows.
