do more cooking

this morning me and squacks made eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes, i am so stuffed i am gonna blow-up, but it was the best breakfast ive had in a while, i was satisfied, now im laying here like a beached whale im so full!!!

oh i should have taken a damn picture! anyways, i work at UNO Chicago Grill and i used to work at Round Table Pizza, anyways, Round Table makes a pizza called the Maui Zowee and its hella gross, but a friend of mine at work really likes it, so i made it for her yesterday and she loved it, and said it was better then the original, burn round table, BURN!!! hahahahahahahahahaha! suckers! anyways, im so damn good at what i do :) too bad i HATE what i do… i wonder how good i would be at something i like?

yesterday i made carnitas, they were so bomb! check it out!

i just finished making crab puffs and they were pretty good, pretty good for my first try but NOT as good as the ones they made at hong kong express :( but i did it, its done, but does that mean this goal is done? no, i have more food to cook before this goal is done, i must make 10 dishes, so this is the stuff ive done so far…
1. super-duper steak
2. pizza twists
3. the “one-shoe” pizza
4. crab puffs
so i have to make 6 more meals before im gonna mark this down as DONE

ok, so the other night i went to the supermarket to get stuff for my yummy yummy crab puffs… i got crab meat, cream cheese, some onion powder, garlic powder, parsley flakes and egg-roll wrap. i need more cream cheese so i can start yet, plus i need to borrow someone deep fryer. damn it… i KNEW i was forgetting something!

tonight im gonna learn to make crab puffs. my favorite chinese food place changed management so they kinda changed the menu, and they took crab puffs off the menu, so i was peeved at this and decided to learn to cook them myself, then i decided i should altogether take up cooking. i can cook lots of stuff but i wanna learn to make somethings i really really love. considering i think i have an eating disorder, and used to weigh over 200 lbs, you’d think i should try to stay away from food but i cant. i love it, and should embrace the happiness cooking brings to me. if i really like this then maybe id go to a cooking school. hmmmm, is that my calling?

One thing that I did that helped me get going was to decide to cook a meal with a friend. We found a couple of recipes online (I suggest epicurious.com and foodnetwork.com) and got the ingredients and just started following the directions. Try to pick something that doesn’t need any special equipment, just stuff you already have. It was a lot of fun and we helped each other figure it out. To start, I would say try 2 recipes marked EASY and see how it goes. Once you feel a bit confident, move to something more complicated. Good luck!

I made a cake for my friends’ birthdays a couple of weeks ago! (Admittedly it was a packet mix…) And I’m getting very good at my vegetarian stir-fry. But that’s about it at the moment other than two minute noodles and cans of chickpeas.

I like cooking. I’d like to have a repotoire of dishes that I have memorised!
