A central achievement in Mr. Kitchen's rise was his turnaround of Lockheed's Georgia subsidiary, which made cargo aircraft. The Georgia plant's sales had fallen sharply, and the company's chief executive considered closing the operation. In 1971, Mr. Kitchen was named president and credited with reversing the decline in part through layoffs and winning new business.Mr. Kitchen eschewed many of the trappings of corporate status. At the Georgia plant, his wife said, he would eat lunch with the mechanics. He refused to build an executive dining room when the company moved its headquarters to a suburb of Los Angeles. Mr. Kitchen lived in Westlake Village, Calif. In addition to his wife of 35 years, he is survived by a son, Alan; two daughters, Janet Long and Brenda Burgar; two sisters, Shirley Blanton and Joyce Ratliff; six grandchildren;Toowoomba Robin's Kitchen staff face anxious wait and two great-grandsons.
The Busy Kitchen is a Monday column written by two area chefs - Tiffany Poe and Valarie Carter - who also happen to be mothers of young children. They explore nutrition, cooking for kids and more.My Busy Kitchen hasn't been as busy as usual. Actually, it's still been quite busy just not with as much cooking as washing dishes by hand. You see, my dishwasher is on the blink.Note that there will be no homemade foodie holiday gifts coming from this kitchen until it is repaired. My mother pointed out that all of our fun and productive cooking in the kitchen gets toned down a bit without our handy wash-o-matics. Nevertheless, the show must go on. There's Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Christmas night and the dreaded-by-some day after Christmas followed by New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
And all the days in between. Frankly, the lack of this all too essential machine has left me with a bit of food writer's block. Even though I usually try to provide simple recipes for the Busy Kitchen, I don't usually give much thought to how many dishes I use. Maybe those "one pot meal" fans are on to something.Though one of my Christmas wishes is that my dishwasher is repaired long before New Year's Day, it's not too early to start planning for the first meal of 2014. Eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is a tradition in the southeastern United States, but the custom may date back to A.D. 500 and is actually of Jewish origin. Black-eyed peas were eaten on Rosh Hashana to bring prosperity to the new year.
