domestication preparation.
i am 100% challenged when it comes to anything in the kitchen. if only cooking skills were hereditary.... everyone in my family seems to be some super chef and i can't even make a goddamn grilled cheese sammich. [ok that's a lie]
SO! in attempt of changing this disability and it being autumn and all, i'm going to try the unknown. it's turkey weekend and my family doesn't ever really care for holidays and/or spending time with eachother. i mean, i don't overly either but while all of my friends are doing holiday related things, i feel somewhat left out and more importantly, bored because no one's around to keep me company. tomorrow, i'm forcing my parents to spend the day with me and we're going to have a big dinner, mostly of which i will be cooking. oh nos :(. i'm pretty scared but excited at the same time. if all goes well, who knows, maybe i will actually ENJOY cooking and will in return become less dependent on parents and boyfriends to feed me.
menu:
-tofurkey with veggie stuffing and gravy: this is a first for us all so it should be interesting. mom and i are not telling dad that it's fake meat or else he won't eat it.
-butternut squash soup: i've made this once before and it was deeelicious. i bought the squash from a pumpkin patch stand out in the country. local foods are me faaaaves.
-i'm assuming mama will be making potatoes, veggies, etc.
-and for dessert, apple pie!!!! i went apple picking last weekend and have no idea what to do with 25 lbs [i went a little pick crazy] of apples. apple pie seems to make sense.
i will consider this adventure successful if i don't burn the kitchen down. wishful thinking, probz.
in other unexciting news, i'm not, at all, used to needy/jealous boyfriends. what's the deal?
