It turns out that I can cook. I didn't actually know this. Growing up I was never allowed to cook as my mother was afraid that I'd mess up her kitchen. Later, I've lived with housemates, boyfriends and a husband who have all been great cooks (although Ryan is by far the best). While, this means that I have been very lucky, it also means that I' ( Read more... )

Awesome. Cooking is fun, on occasion.

Are you going to be in town this weekend?

starplee July 24 2006, 04:04:45 UTC

Yep. I've just asked for an NPC, I'll see if Marissa has something for me. Alternatively I'll catch up with you and Merrinan at some stage over the weekend.

Yay you! :) Cooking is much fun if you've got the time and inclination. Ooh, and I have an awesome pumpkin (well more vegie really) soup recipe that has none of the things you can't eat in it. Let me know if you'd like it. :)

fred_bear July 24 2006, 04:31:49 UTC

Congratulations on discovering a new aptitude :)
*I* am unable to cook anything that is not actually made of meat, so I'll probably never be able to bake a cake :(
I vaguely remember trying twice. First one got thrown out, and I think no one but me would eat the second. But I could be confused about that second one.

Well, they say you never know what you can do till you try!
Hmmm... Say... you ever tried Neurosurgery?

starplee July 24 2006, 04:03:35 UTC

Well, I could give it a go. Any volunteers???

My pumpkin soup recipe is easy.
1 pumpkin
1 onion
1 garlic bulb
chicken stock.

chop vegies and put in put, pour chicken stock over, and top up with water till the vegies are almost covered.
boil the crap outaa it till the pumpkin starts to fall apart, then turn down the heat and stir stir stir till it's smooth(ish) texture.

starplee July 24 2006, 04:06:24 UTC

Cheers. I'll give it a go also...

You can also add in... faeriefyre July 24 2006, 08:33:28 UTC

A pinch of curry powder

or

A tablespoon of peanut butter

or

1/2 an apple (boil it with the onion)

If you need thickening... boil potato... keep boiling until it's softer than soft.. it becomes a good thickener!

peanut butter is a allergenic nono!
It's not aht many people are allergic to it... it's just that when they are, it's a 'oh gods I"m gunna die!' kinda allergy...
