Allow Me to Digress

Forced by the circumstances I have made it a goal to learn to cook something each week.  Since I have now made it public - sharing a goal or a dream does make you accountable to people somehow - I will have to strive harder to stick to it.  Well not exactly cook - it can be bake or simply mix anything up - anything related to the kitchen aside from washing the dishes, which is my favorite household chore.   

  I will also try to write about my cooking experience each week (even if I’ll be back where I’m supposed to be ;).  Imagine  that, I’ll have 52 entries on cooking in a year! (In case I would continue to blog.)  Wow, maybe I would have those nice recipe blogs. I’ll post the links below - I am inspired by browsing through different recipe blogs. That’s what you call blogging to contribute to mankind.   
   
For the past 4 weeks I’ve been here, my experiments include:

>>  macaroni salad (it has cheese and apples on it!),
>>  tuna sandwich (it has lots of pineapple bits and cheese),
>>  tuna macaroni salad (well i just mixed up the things i used for the previous two except that i ran out of apples).

In all those recipes, I added everything McCormick that I found at home. Those are really cute little bottles, aren’t they?

Ooops I skipped a week.  It was probably during my first week that I didn’t try anything in the kitchen. I did need a little adjustment period in the new place I’m in, and I never thought that I’ll be staying here this long.  Learning something new has always been fun and exciting - a cure for a trite, mundane existence, but it does entail hard work as well, plus determination to keep on learning when the novelty fades away.   
 
If you’re someone who doesn’t cook but wants to learn how to cook or perhaps has a tiny spark of interest in cooking, I hope the succeeding posts on my gastronomical adventures will be helpful to you. 

If you do cook, you might want to give me pointers. :) 

Be warned that my post on recipes would have really stupid comments.  Afterall, I’m no chef wannabe but just a cooking dummy who just wants to have fun and learn. 

The title of this post is inspired by my friend Brian, who doubts my culinary skills but can’t deny that I’m good-looking. (How many points do I earn from that one?
