So, there was a bit of a hiatus from the blog entries…
easily explained with the fact that I was offered a job and moved. I now have internet in my
humble abode, but my phone died and so I lost any phone numbers obtained in the last 14 months. I shall pick up, however, with the
blogging again. With the move, I
have felt more inspired to continue this blog in one primary direction:
food. I’m not much of a culinary
expert, actually I am far from that.
However, I enjoy cooking and baking things, I often screw up—but that’s
half the fun—and love to capture such things in photographs.
My first cooking venture in the new place started with
ground turkey, green pepper, and onion.
I started sautéing the onion and pepper, then added turkey chunks. I threw in a little oil, remembered I
had corn in the freezer and dropped some of that in, then seasoned with a some
garlic pepper (I had no idea such a thing existed, but was really excited and
had to buy it). It was lacking
something at this point, so I opened my cupboard… and what jumped out at
me? Ramen. So I microwaved the noodles, then threw
them into the skillet, and added just a little of the chicken seasoning packet
(and threw the rest away).
As if this wasn’t enough, I had my heart set on some sort of
garlic bread, so I wiped the skillet out, then put butter on some wheat bread,
added garlic pepper, and some shredded cheese, and toasted that up.
It was delicious!
The noodle-y concoction was actually very good, probably could have
easily omitted the oil (if I had any idea what else would have made it into the
skillet at that point I would have).
The garlic toast was delicious, as I absolutely LOVE garlic. And cheese. All in all, a complete success. Cheers to having a gas stove!
