I'll have to try that with the Dutch oven.
Wife makes Irish soda bread all the time. That's an easier bread, no yeast, to make.
Dad starting making bread when they purchased the kitchen aid mixer and used the dough hook. That was the first present each of us received when we moved out to our own place. He was let it rise in a towel covered stainless bowl in the oven. Not sure if he left it on low, or just preheated it and let it sit in the warm interior.

grubs. I live in the North of Canada and I NEVER have a warm spot for bread except in the summer. I do that too. Put the oven on about 200F, let it heat for about 2 minutes so it is just a bit warm, turn it off, and place the covered bowl in there. Works like a charm! :-)

Cooking disasters? Well... there was the time I misheard some TV cook do what I thought was Tuna-pasta with orange. Ended with some orangy-fish-pasta that I wouldn't even feed my cat.

I made kettle corn for the first time a couple of years ago. Burnt the heck out of it. It took steel wool to get the mess out of the bottom of the pan.
When I was a teen back in the 70s, we had frozen dinners (TV Dinners) that took 40 minutes to cook in the oven. I put a turkey dinner in the oven and went back to my bed to lie down and I fell asleep! 5 or 6 hours later my brother tapped on my door and asked if I was cooking something in the oven. I took the dinner out of the oven and it was amazing how little was left. The mashed potatoes evaporated, the peas shriveled into wrinkled remnants, the cherry cobbler was melted to the aluminum tray, the stuffing was a residue of bread encircling a 2-inch chunk of turkey meat, which was dried to the consistency of jerky.

Alternately, if you can find sesame seeds and have a food processor, tahini is super easy to make. Just have the food processor make the sesame seeds into a paste and add a little neutral oil (I have canola) to get it to the texture you want. Pinch of salt and done.

I make a rue! I have watched my sister make this gravy. I think I am going to ditch the meatball fat. Make it with butter and beef broth or bake a few marrow bones slowly.
I love making bread, that is my sister’s weakness. I use did use my kitchen paid mixer to knead it. When we moved it shifted into a on setting. My bread hook and paddle were in it. My mixer is broken. I want to get it repaired, it is 25 years old and the older ones are better then the new ones. The closest repair is in Brooklyn, with traffic about 3 hours. However, with COVID I will not go. When my husband gets his second shot we are going.
My sister wants me to make homemade cinnamon rolls and send them from east coast to west coast. For her birthday.
NorthernMSB, besides knifes, what is your go to kitchen appliance. My favorites are Kitchenaid mixer and vitamix blender.

Thanks, NorthernMSB!
Maybe I'll succeed making a roux now. It's a basic part of everything I want to cook. Since I've never succeeded making the roux, my cooking is limited to oatmeal and hard-boiled (unless I forget to set a timer) eggs.

I once asked my Mom about her recipe for clam chowder. I was supremely privileged to be able to eat her clam chowder.
IIRC, it started with 1.5 quarts of quahoags and continued with, 'some water, some butter, some onions....'

I was hoping that you'd be able to fill in that missing piece.

I love to grill. A few years ago I went to the butcher for a cross-cut rib roast. Came home, decided to leave the string on, prepped it and got it on the grill. We had all the kids over... the darn roast just would not cook. This went on for some time and all the rest of the dinner was cold now. I took it off to put in the over and found it was two small roasts tied together. Dinner ruined.

That's funny because the store i shop at seems to have gone more ethnic lately with whole isles of foods I've never heard of or seen before. Alas no tahini in those sections. I'll check the PB section.

This might just be the simpler route to go

Oh gosh. I’ve had the fire department come to my house because someone called because of the smoke.
It was a good casserole. I just burnt a pot.
