We have become addicted to the television show Cutthroat Kitchen, which airs on the Food Network. The kids and I have a bunch of favorites (namely Good Eats, Guy's Grocery Games, The Pioneer Woman, Giada at Home, and Rachel v. Guy Kid's Cookoff) but we have, as a family, begun setting aside family time on the weekends to watch episodes. We love this show.
I'm not surprised. I've loved Alton Brown since I started watching the Food Network years ago. Good Eats was the first show I ever watched. But there is something so engaging about Cutthroat Kitchen, and so utterly foolish, that it's comedy and cooking wrapped into one. Comedy and cooking wrapped into one. Kind of like me.
On one episode, the contestants were forced to make their best ginger snap cookie. We watched the glory and the sabotages with glee. And then A and I looked at one another.
"Let's make ginger snaps."
So we turned to Alton. I'm going to simply include the link here. You need a kitchen scale, because baking is truly better when converted to weight units.
But they are so worth it that I had to share. Even if the idea of the scale chased half of you away.
