I have a box of Irish Soda Bread mix that I was oging to bake this weekend. Alas, out went our power and with it, the igniter for the stove.
If you have a gas oven, can't you just grab a box of those long kitchen matches and light it that way?
We thought so, but apparently not. we have a long lighter, so we were using that. No gas was coming out of the holes along the burner... we think the place where it ignites is tucked away somewhere, because we couldn't get anything to light.

A lot of burners have electronic safety cutoffs so people don't leave their stoves on when it doesn't light during a power outage.

That's really weird, I didn't expect that.
We didn't either. We planned to bake to heat the house. Good thing we checked to see if it would light before pulling everything out of the fridge. It's probably got some kind of cutoff thing like George said. The stove was working fine.
We were going to make rice, but we were too hungry. Plus, there are potatoes in it, so there was plenty of starch. It's stewed in portobello mushroom soup and a middling Merlot. Serious yum!

Dunno, even if it has potatoes, I can't have a meal without either rice or bread.
No pics, but I made a fresh strawberry reduction with framboise liqueur and red balsamic vinegar to use as a sauce for a roasted strawberry cheesecake tomorrow. I stopped reducing 3/4 of the way along to blend the chilled mixture with an immersion blender, and the remaining reduction was beautiful. Futher reduction would have rendered it a jam, which is something I'm eager to try with wild raspberries, blackberries, and plums this summer. I'm interested in trying a plum-jalapeño jam.
The chicken and risotto look delicious, but those onions look so good.
I've been craving onions like no other. I really can't cook onions with my meals because my boyfriend can't handle them. I basically sauteed them in many different spices and sauces. It is so yummy.
I live in a dorm room, which means no real knives and no money for good cooking utensils. We've managed to make some great Chicken Carbonara and Beef Stroganoff with a $9, 12-piece knife set, barely a cutting board, and an electric range that sparks at random times.
I'm hijacking this image since I can't seem to find the picture of when I made this dish but...... BEHOLD!
Upside Down Mac & Cheese Pizza!!!!
But seriously, I was a chef at Disneyland for over 5 years. I can cook quite well. However, I hate cooking for just myself so I don't do it all that often anymore. On the occasions I do, I'll be sure to share here. =D
Shepherd's Pie...MADE! I didn't think I could do it, but I found Ground Lamb one day and FUCK YEAH, I made an awesome Shepherd's Pie!
I mostly based it off of Gordon Ramsay's Recipe, but I made a few adjustments. Used Yukon Gold Potatoes, added Butter and Milk. The meat-filling tastes a little sweeter than expected, but I think that's cause I used Marsala Wine. But this is melt-in-your-mouth delicious and I can't wait to make it again.
Crab Linguine. (Again, sorry for bad phone quality) Really, REALLY nice little dish. I wanna make it again...because while it was amazing, it might of been a little too mild. It makes me happy that I have a shellfish recipe under my belt. I'm thinking of making an Asian variant, with Sake, Sriracha and Ginger.
Yeah, I saw that linked from the Homebrewtalk forums a while back. I haven't tried it yet, but I do have a converted 70 quart Coleman Xtreme cooler that is perfectly suited to the task, as well as two 20-quart coolers.
