Current mood: productive
If you know me personally, pick yourself up from the floor. I’ll give you a moment or two to recover.
Because I spend so much time at home and am trying to economize, I now find myself in the kitchen preparing my own meals. I can’t say that I’ve created any award-winning, chef-inspired dishes (yet) but the stove has been fired into action quite a bit recently. Sometimes I feel a sense of accomplishment after having cooked and sometimes I don’t.
One of the things that I had been meaning to cook for a long time was hot wings and homemade bleu cheese dressing. I finally did that Friday night. Everything was delicious but I kicked myself repeatedly for buying the whole wings instead of the wing pieces. I really hate handling raw meat (part of my disassociation from where the food actually comes) and found myself snapping joints to expose the cutting point. In one word, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I’ve contemplated signing up for some type of cooking class while I’m looking for a job so that I have something constructive to do with my time. Maybe I could become really excited about cooking and somehow overcome my aversion to being in the kitchen. Who knows? Maybe I’ll just read the cookbooks that I have in the kitchen and work it out on my own
A more pressing matter is what shall I prepare tonight…
