After hundreds of hours of Food Network shows, including my beloved 'Chopped,' I finally got to show off my cooking knowledge!
My mom made a homemade bolognese sauce tonight for Family Dinner that came out of the crockpot looking more like soup than a sauce. I suggested she use her immersion blender (and then had to explain what an immersion blender was -- ha!) to break down the tomatoes and meat (pork roast & sausage) into something we could pour over the spaghetti.
I felt so proud of myself like the 'Chopped' judges were watching me from the pantry and slow clapping.
Have you ever learned anything from 'Chopped' that helped you in real life? Or something from another educational-type TV show?
