Mmm...
Have I ever mentioned that I love cooking? I know, it's such a Suzy Homemaker attitude, but how does a gal resist? I've decided to write a cookbook--attempt to at least, after that I'll go bother microcosm publishing more than likely, they publish a lot of great little stuff. The experiments have been fun, and now I'm hardly following any guidelines at all like I was before. The black bean loaf turned out good, but bland, I want to make it spicy, and I'm going to need to get my olive oil if I'm going to continue on with the home made flour tortillas thing--btw...you should definately make your own flour tortillas, it takes less than twenty minutes the first try and they are absolutely amazing, nothing store bought will EVER compare.
Right now I have the dough for tortillas cooling in the fridge, along with the crust for a veggie pot pie...I'm thinking I should drag myself out there and make a loaf of bread or two also...gods I wish the AC was working. *sighs* I also want to pick up some peanut oil before I do the honey fried tofu again, it's a much healthier oil. I'm also developing a long list of things that I don't own in the kitchen and should--like a damned rolling pin! I can't believe I never bought a rolling pin, what was I thinking, that I'd use a microwave forever? Speaking of microwaves, I need one of those too, and a good food proccessor so I can make hummus to die for. I also wouldn't mind an electric mixer, and a coffee pot that makes more than one cup at once, and one of those thingies that guides you in slicing your loaf of bread so all the slices are even, and a toaster that toasts both sides of the bread at once, and...ooh! a shelf to keep my cookbooks on, and one of those nifty things that holds the book open for you so i won't be using my can opener to hold it open(yes, I use a HAND can opener), I also wouldn't mind having a bigger grill so I can make more kebabs and veggie burgers at once, and a couple more bread pans, and a bunch of mason jars, and more foodstuffs to cook with too. See? I don't want much. Oh, and a new set of dishes since someone broke and chipped a fair number of them during his time here.
I need to try and get another sourdough starter going, so I'll zip off to do that methinks. *poof*
