A log for your cooking adventures?!
I tried to make mashed potatoes for the first time wednesday night. They were, ah... Interesting. I know now to mash more and butter less :} The garlic was good though :jess:
I made a salad Tuesday night.
Yes, I know. rubah, the consumate salad hater. Anyways, it was way acidic with tomato, green apples, and lemon juice, but it was definitely edible for being just "whatever's in teh fridge atm" ;D
I've know how to make mashed potatoes for a few months. I was so excited when I learned! :jess:
I'm generally a bad cook though. :/ I'm making rigatoni right now since it's so simple.
Oh, I work in a kitchen too.
I don't cook often since I work a lot. As for baking, my blueberry banana country style coffee cake was okay. I personally enjoyed it, but since the blueberries weren't sweet enough, it wasn't a major hit with my family, like my bread is. The bread is usually gone within a day or two.
The last thing I cooked was an omelette. It was delicious, but pretty much the same as I always make it. Egg whites, bacon bits, skim-milk mozzarella, pepper, lots of seasoning (is putting seasoning on an omlette weird?). Oh, and I made pasta and I doused it in lemon juice, because I had no cheese. That was deliciously weird.
You should always put seasoning on omlette! Delicious!
As for me I am not an adventurous cook lol I can't really be bothered. I'm terrible.
I'm notorious for taking a bunch of random leftovers and just throwing them all together in some way.
A rule of thumb that I live by is: 'if it's not a liquid, like soup or beverage, you can make a sandwich out of it.'
I poached an egg once and dropped it into a bowl of ramen. It was lovely.
My only rule of thumb is: pretty much anything can go in the microwave.Quote:

I'm pretty interested in trying a lot of different kinds of meals. I've gotten kind of tired of having some of the same stuff as frequently as I have growing up, so some experimentation is really appealing to me.
I love to cook, and I love cooking/eating new things. Haven't been doing too much new exciting stuff, though. I have become obsessed with making hash browns again, though. REAL smurfing hash browns. God I love potatoes.
Within the next couple weeks, though, I am "catering" this wine bottling celebration party thing, and I'm gonna do all middle eastern stuff. I'm really looking forward to it, cause I've never made any of this :bou::bou::bou::bou: before. Mm mm mm!
I never thought but I had a hidden ability to cook! I never thought I could make an omelette BUT I DID!!!!!!!!! :D
Miriel loves cooking and I love eating, so it's a good fit! We have many cooking adventures. The latest one involved making whipped cream from scratch.
Whipped cream, eh? Wonder what you did with that...Quote:

I just cooked spaghetti. Tastes awesome :D
You'd be far better off eating your own cooking than my cooking.
The only thing I can cook is a mushroom risotto. :/ It's nice, but I'm a useless cook, so I cba to try anything else.
Making whipped cream is fun! I like to cook random things, but I tend lean towards baking more often now because I like decorating the finished products. :p
I usually make good things unless I get distracted and overcook something or have a bit too much oil in the pan.
I made baked beans on toast at someone else's house the other day because apparantly some people can't even make baked beans on toast (they still ate some after).
I made vegetable curry a bit ago. It was good and spicy. It had green peppers, red peppers, tomatoes & tomato sauce, onions, green onions, zucchini squash (that was the main part of it I guess? I was too lazy to cook meat), lots of different spices (coriander, cumin, pepper, other random stuff), almond milk, and I forgot maybe other stuff :]~ Took too long though, and used too many dishes. xD I don't see myself doing it often.
I nuke everything in the microwave mostly. I cook my fish in the microwave, haha. :D I should get to baking some chicken before it goes bad... yeah~
tonight we made taco salad, but we didn't have any taco seasoning, so we just put some of everything (red and black pepper, cajun seasoning, garlic celery salt) on instead!
I baked a chocolate cake last week. For some reason I'm really good at that, and it always pleases my mom a lot whenever I decide to spontaneously bake one.
Other than that I really like cooking with a lot of different vegetables, e.g. fried vegetables with fried eggs/fried chicken or something. Adding some Indian spices I bought in India (duh) is really delicious as well.
Yeah, I like cooking/baking. It's fun to try different things in the kitchen.
