Welcome to Kitchen Kat!

I love writing. I love food. Those are two interests that have stayed constant throughout my life. So why not combine the two? Perfect! Trying out different food is like almost like traveling; you get to experience different smells, tastes, and atmospheres. It brings a bit of the culture to you, even if you didn't leave your home. This blog explores Portland restaurants (plus any notable ones I encounter on vacation), recipes that worked out exceptionally for me, plus any other epicurean delights that come my way. Put any reservations aside, now it's time to chow down on some food for thought....

Baking Weekend

This was a three-day weekend, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Friday night, Derek and I went to the Blues Fest and saw three different bands from Louisiana (Zydeco: Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble and Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band; Brass: Rebirth Brass Band), plus Maceo Parker and Robert Cray.
Saturday was the Timbers game, which was fun, although the Timbers were truly terrible.
Sunday, I baked a very successful Cherry Clafoutis but forgot to take a picture of it. I found the recipe in Williams-Sonoma's Savoring France cookbook. I brought it over to my parents' house for dinner, and not much was left of it.
Today, I baked a Rhubarb-Strawberry Custard Tart (pictured here) to bring to a July Fourth barbeque. I haven't tasted it yet, but is sure looks good. This one came from Williams-Sonoma's Cakes, Cookies, Pies & Tarts.
Both recipes were quite simple.
