Kitchen Ninja Q&A Time!

Welcome to my new favorite time of the week.  It's time to "Ask a Kitchen Ninja in Training"!  Without further ado, let's get to it.

Reader Auntie Quincey asks:

"I heard that mac and cheese is on the eventual menu so that question was answered... I want to know about the culinary skills. Wes, what's your favorite part about cooking? I know you can't do EVERYTHING just yet (working with big knives, cooking with oil, etc.) but what are you looking forward to the most?"

The Kitchen Ninja responds:

"Hmmm."  Long pause for effect.  "Hmmm.  I do not have a favorite.  I like to do everything.  My favorite thing so far is using the knife to cut celery."

 The Kitchen Ninja's favorite blade is a 4" Mac paring knife.  It's light-weight but has a good size handle and a rounded tip.

Reader benjamom writes:

"You could do "diners, drive-ins and dives" but with kids?"

The Kitchen Ninja responds:

"Yeah!  I would love to have a show like that but with kids.  I would, um, let's see, I would eat Mexican food and pasta.  Uh, I would eat Sloppy Joes.  I want to move on to the next question."

Alrightly then.


 

Next question comes from reader Dan who writes:

"I wanna know, when is the flambè episode gonna air? Also, please do a recipe from Sandra Lee's cookbook as a way to show Wes what NOT to do! =-)"

The Kitchen Ninja responds:

"I don't even know what that means.  I don't know what anything from the sentence means."  After Kitchen Mom helps explain flambe, the Kitchen Ninja adds "I don't want to do fire.  It looks dangerous.  Actually yes I do want to do it.  No wait, I really don't want to do it.  I think I want to go to bed."


Okay buddy, but hold on for one last question.



Reader Grammie asks:


"Way to go, Wes!!! You guys are rockin'.....and this is so much fun for us to read! I love the Ninja character your daddy made! I am definitely going to buy a shirt and a cup so I can think of you every day while having my cup of tea....:)"

Okay not technically a question but a great plug for our on-line shop! http://www.cafepress.com/CookingwithWes


Okay, that's all for this week and the Kitchen Ninja is off to bed.  Tune in Sunday when we take another swing at Sloppy Joes.
