I love love love to cook.
Unfortunately, I hate hate hate to cook for only myself. There's always leftovers to deal with, and what if I don't feel like eating the same thing 3 days in a row? If it's just me, I'd just as soon have a can of green beans and some cottage cheese for dinner.
Plus, I'm just so not hungry when I finish cooking. Which, obviously, makes cooking for myself a challenge. But, green beans and cottage cheese do not a healthy dinner make.
My sister comes over to my house every Wednesday, and we made dinner for her and my mother and stepfather this last week. My mother commented that night, jokingly, that I should cook for them every day.
I thought about this a bit, and decided that this was the perfect solution to my problem. I can cook every night for a family of 4, send almost all of the food away so I don't have leftovers, eat a healthy dinner, and my mother and family can have dinner every night that is healthier and less expensive than the takeout they usually get. Plus, I burn extra calories by shopping, cooking, and then cleaning afterwards. Perfect!
I wanted to be able to record my cooking experiences somewhere, both to have a list of my cooking repertoire and to record observations on what works and what doesn't. So...voila!
I think I'll probably do one entry per week, with all of the things I've made that particular week. This is more for my own personal record than anyone's enjoyment...but hey, if anyone actually reads it, cool.
