I calculated in the 5 years I have been in the test kitchen I have chopped over 1000 onions. I don't even want to know how many dishwashers I have unloaded. Between my kitchen here and the one at home, it's got to be scary. So you can see, after preforming so many simple task day after day, my mind starts to wonder from time to time. What am I going to make for dinner tonight? Do I have photography tomorrow? What's my cat Souffle doing right now? A favorite topic as of late: What super powers would I like to have!
Now I don't want those fancy comic book varieties; the ability to fly or leap tall buildings need not apply. I want "KITCHEN Super Powers" (insert catchy theme music here.) I want to save the world one casserole at a time. But nothing too flashy just something to make my job a little easier one 13X9 at a time. In no particular order this is my pick:
1. Unload my dishwasher with wiggly of my nose, "Bewitched" style of course.
2. Heat resistant hands- no need for pot holders.
3. A set of tongs that shoot from under my sleeves like Inspector Gadget.
4. Telekinesis for handling raw chicken.
5. X Ray internal temperature eyesight- I never can seem to get it just right on a big turkey or beef tenderloin.
6. The ability to sense when something is caught in my teeth....poppy seed bagels all around!
7. Constant regeneration of a perfect manicure especially after scrubbing pots and pans.
Now I bet even Superman has never thought of that!
