So, I am a complete failure when it comes to cooking. I can't even put something in the microwave without it exploding, and don't get me started on the toaster. It's ridiculous. For this very reason, I haven't cooked anything for years. This all changed when tonight I foolishly decided to make dinner. I've been going crazy with the Food Network shows, and it's just put me in the cookin' mood. So, I hopped on my computer and searched the 'net for a few recipes, and came up with the perfect Asian menu. Everything was going really well until I put 6 tablespoons (rather than 6 teaspoons) of soy sauce into the chicken. Then I burnt it to a crisp. Then I spilled coca-cola in the green beans. All in all, we ordered pizza.
Now, I am an amazing baker. I always get the ingredients right, always remember to take the cookies out of the oven. Hand me a whisk and a couple of eggs, and I'm golden. I can make soufflés, creme brulees, and basically anything thats sweet or rhymes with "ay". It's a gift. I'm not sure why I can bake perfectly, but I just can't seem to do much else in the kitchen... My goal for the rest of 2010 is to make one successful meal. Hmph... so frustrating! (I'm also a whiz at pancakes, BTW... secret recipe = lots of vanilla, and cinnamon.)
Shhhhh.
Now, aside from cooking disasters, my week has been pretty uneventful... I cleaned basically my entire house due to sudden bursts of energy (Red Bull)... I haven't been able to sleep very much, though. I am going to Boston on Thursday and staying at the Seaport for the weekend... Coming back about 8 hours before I begin high school! AH! I'm starting high school NEXT WEEK!!!!! It's unbelievable... but boy, am I ready! Yay!
Well, off I go... I'm craving some coca-cola. (I'm always craving coca-cola.)
Always remember- curiosity kills. So do toasters. Be careful, kids.
