Cooking Terms

How did those words get in there?

Question 1:

"Yes sir, wedding bells finally rang in the life of Margie Blake. Back from her honeymoon, she and Tim are headed for a life of wedded bliss." Margie wants to make Tim something delicious, just like his mom used to make, so she tries to bake....

	Chocolate cake			Beer-battered, french-fried, cheese-covered, spicy, jalapeno marshmallows

	Haggis

Question 2:

Margie wrecks her first attempt at cooking something special for her man, due to her lack of knowledge about cooking. Margie just plain doesn't understand cooking terms. Is this a problem for her?

	Yes, she will ruin many cake pans before she figures out what is wrong			No, she will insist on eating out eeach day, and brining home the leftovers

	Why can't we just eat jelly sandwiches all the time?

Question 3:

'Stirring' means to mix food materials in a circular motion to secure a uniform consistency. 'Boiling' is to cook at a temperature that bubbles rise & break on the surface. If you are supposed to 'knead' some dough, what does that mean?

	You want to make bread or pastry, but don't have everything			You are poor

	Manipulating dough by pressing, folding and stretching

Question 4:

Everyone loves braised meat! To do it right, how many different cooking techniques are involved in cooking your slab of gristle to perfection?

	Braising requires knowledge of three cooking techniques			Braising involves two unique steps

	Braising is just done by it's self, say no more

Question 5:

Margie looks through her cookbook, and discovers that "Yes, even Margie's cookbook has a glossary." Can she master the art of baking a cake before Tim comes home for lunch?

Yes, she gets one done in time to impress her man, though no laundry gets washed

No, she buys one at the store and passes it off as her own
