Like most other 20 year olds, I eat. "Okay..." you may all be thinking, well let me explain. I am taking a class this semester, Advanced Composition Theory and Practice: Theory and Practice of Blogging, that requires me to create my own blog. Our professor informs us that it can be on anything that we are authorities of and also, that it must relate to other people. So I am at home staring into a refrigerator full of food as I think about what I could possibly write a blog on. Just standing there, I imagine someone else. They pull out the yams, the chicken breast, even some parsley (who uses parsley, anyways.) They grab seasoning and spices and pecans. They move to the counter and whip up a gourmet lunch. Can I do that? NO, I answer myself out loud. I close the refrigerator door as it occurs to me, I really cannot cook. Minus the Kraft Dinner and the Eggo Waffles that I have mastered, if it doesn't come from a box, I probably can't do it.
So now that I have reached this depressing conclusion, I have an idea for a blog. Since I cannot cook a fresh meal, I will be following some acclaimed and also up-and-coming culinary artists and some of their cooking styles. In order to teach myself how to cook, I will be trying out some of their most popular recipes and sharing my trials with you.
So do I eat? Yes. Can I cook? Pretty soon!

I wish you good luck! I am also always looking for ways to improve my fairly sparse menu of things I can actually COOK. This may not be what you are looking for but I've found this blog to have good ideas at times!

Amen, I can definitely relate! I look forward to reading what you come up with because kraft dinner just ain't doing it for me anymore! Good luck, Alex!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Alex! I love cooking when I have the time and opportunity -- I hardly ever cook when I'm here in Windsor because I live in residence and have to use the University meal plan up by the end of the year. When I do get the chance to cook though, I'm very creative with it... it's not hard and I'm sure you'll become a pro chef once you try out some new recipes! ;)
ReplyDeleteAlex, let me know if you ever need stories about kitchen fires... I've created more than a few! On that note, cooking can be easy as long as you stick to simple recipies - the hard part is being creative!! Good luck!
