The Heart of Cooking: Cork Trivet

Cork Trivet

Yesterday {& into last night} I made a cork trivet!

I have lots of wine corks that I have saved. I usually write the occasion or names of who I'm drinking with on the cork and toss it into the glass stemware shown to the right. ----->

I have accumulated quite a few over the years and it is about time that I create something with them! It's just too bad that so many wine bottles are twist off or have faux corks.

It took me a little while to figure out the best way to put this together, but now that I know what I'm doing, I think it will be easier second go-around! What do you think?

This is a smaller trivet. I plan on making more that are different sizes and shapes!

I also plan on making coasters. :)

*This trivet could be part of the prize for Best Tacky Christmas Sweater*

"...for the servantless American cook who can be unconcerned on occasion with budgets, waistlines, time schedules, children's meals, the parent-chauffeur-den-mother syndrome, or anything else which might interfere with the enjoyment of producing something wonderful to eat."

"One of the most important requirements for learning how to cook is that you also learn how to eat."

"... I think you are better as an Italian, Mexican, or even Chinese cook when you have a solid French foundation."

"I was considered more than a little odd because I did all the cooking and marketing - such fun! - as well as the serving when we had company."

"Train yourself to use your hands and fingers; they are wonderful instruments."

"Food, like the people who eat it, can be stimulated by wine or spirits. And, as with people, it can also be spoiled."
