Alas! New apartment is wired!

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!
