Adventures in Cooking

[erebrandir]

Under the guidance of Mom, I've been learning to cook.

A week or so ago, I made lasagna. It was easy! For the last castle party, I was the one who made Mom's Famous Bean Dip™. I've been helping with Christmas cookies.

This morning I made sausage balls, and they were wonderful. Now that I know how easy they are, I can have sausage balls any time I

I'm going to be doing the same thing this vacation. I asked my mum for help and she keeps talking about biscuits and cakes and things with crushed up potato chips on top when I was thinking more along the lines of healthy food. But learning to cook is a useful thing. If it wasn't for Dolmio I probably would starve.

Sounds yummy. So what is a "biscuit" to you? I think Brits mean something different by that. A cookie? Around here, a biscuit is something you eat for breakfast.

That's cool.

Yeah, I may get some recipes from grandma before I leave. I did watch what she does for canned soup tonight though, so I s'pose it's a start. I don't really want to do fancy things.. just the usual stuff I ate here for dinners.

I'm sure my mom's lasagna is nothing like real Italian lasagna, but I thought of that when you commented. :-)

Pwah. Yeah, canned soup is better than nothing. But learning real Italian cooking from a real Italian is an experience you ought to take advantage of while you can.

Heh. I dunno... my grandma hasn't made lasagna since I've been here.. the only thing she makes from scratch on a regular basis anymore is sauce. the sauce is really good, but I doubt I'll learn that.. especially since it involves meatballs to get the flavour.. then who would eat the meatballs? :P

The canned soup tastes better thanks to extra noodles and bouillon cubes cooked for 5min before adding the soup in case you wondered and wanted to try it.

I think the only specialty food I'll attempt is cheeseballs for now. I'll be lucky if I get that down!

Cooking is one of the most enjoyable things in life, in my opinion...eating can be fun. Eating something delicious that you yourself made is even better!
