Success

This Friday, we had a potluck and I made a sushi bake with some additional ingredients to the recipe. It was a clean pan..yay success. And it was the first time I made it...and one of the first time I cooked seafood. I have to say I am quite proud of myself. I also made the peanut sauce noodles with veggies...not a hit. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. At least I know not to bring that dish to parties.

Then the next day, I made curry..another first. Friends said it was good and I have to say I agree. The only thing was it needed to be thicker. Still not bad for the first time.

Recently, I have been on this roller coaster. There are the highs and lows and I can't say it has been that fun. I think with the recent success of my dishes, I am on a high. I will just have to remember that when I am feeling low. There is a high like no other I get when my cooking makes people smile. I love that feeling that I was able to not only feed them but for them to say it was good. It's an addiction...a good one I would have to say. I am glad to say I have people around me to help me fuel that addiction.

Walks or Drives

I guess when I said I wished I could take a walk around the park that translated to the universe as to me driving around. I guess someone is watching out for me because a walk at night can be dangerous...either way the wish came true...in some form or another.

See earlier post.

Box of Chocolates

If life is a box of chocolates, then I could really use the little card that tells me which one is what. Sometimes its nice to know what is coming instead of being surprised. I think I would settle for just some hints. I really need to stop picking the buttercreams. I want some with nuts please.

You Don't Forget Your First

So I still remember the first time I had Ikes. It was amazingness in a sandwich. It was heavenly and food-gasmic. I guess you just can't have a repeat of that first time. The sandwich today was good but nothing like I remember it. I still am a fan of Ikes but it just isn't the same.

Guess this goes for men, sometimes once is just enough. Maybe its better to remember the experience a certain way rather than having it wake you up like a ice cold shower.

Spring Forward

April is well on its way and May is right around the corner. Spring is here and I am definitely spiking a pretty high spring fever. I am not sure motrin is going to help. I would like a cure though and fast. Spring fever isn't too much fun

Wishes Do Come True

Just a little a month ago, I came back from NOLA. Things to say the least were interesting...the consensus was that we needed to keep things low key. Ha, how we lie to ourselves...actually we did keep it low key for a couple weeks but soon after we were back to normal.

It was the night of my grad ceremony and that was definitely reason enough to celebrate plus the fact I survived through a family dinner. Note to everyone, buffets are good for large crowds. Anyways back to the story, we started off with whiskey and coke in....drumroll please, a tupperware bowl. We couldn't find a bottle and we wanted to save some money. The money we saved goes towards other things like yummy dinners. So whiskey and coke in tupperware was how we started off. Then came Hennessy...and all sorts of other stuff. I was kinda of a mess. Long story cut short, after a Muni and a cab later with broken earrings and a text that said "I will see you in the AM" I got my grad gift from the universe.

You would think it ended happily ever after. Apparently, I got scared and walked away. I guess you got to be very careful for what you wish for. Be specific...and if you are going out with me, you might want to have an extra set of keys so you don't have to take a cab ride early in the morning because we finally got a hold of each other and you finally had a way into the apt. Just saying...

Just Me....

One is a lonely number. Eating alone. Cooking alone. It all kinda just sucks. It's like I have the fork but I can't find the knife or spoon. I have the sauce but nothing to dip it in. :(
