Passionate about Cooking

Cooking does matter in the sense that somebody has to do it or we'll all die. Or eat grass. Sick. But I do definitely have a passion for it. Food, generally speaking, will probably be mentioned frequently on this blog. After fasting all day, I decided to have a pretty good dinner. We had a beef stir-fry recipe that we just love (my mom gave it to me, but I think it's from an old Betty Crocker cookbook). I got distracted (setting up my blog, actually), so the sauce evaporated a little more than usual. It was thicker but still nice and flavorful. To drink I tried a recipe from this silly non-alcoholic drinks pamphlet-like book I inherited from my grandmother. It was this minty lemonade drink consisting of lemonade and a little mint extract. Really tasty! Then, to finish it all off, I attempted individual molten chocolate cakes. This is my fourth attempt, I'm ashamed to say. All other attempts have resulted in tasty "brownies" with no molten center. But hooray because tonight they were super-liquid in the middle! Then I dumped some sweetened raspberries on top with a hint of raspberry extract. Mmmmmmm...... I admit I'm feeling quite pleased with my cooking tonight. Being an eperimental chef (with no professional training), things can be a bit hit or miss in the kitchen. Tonight was definitely a hit.
