My favorite things to cook
I like to eat foreign foods: Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Greek. I am most on the lookout for these things for dinner. I have no idea how to make a casserole. I also like ways to use dried foods and like freezer meals are intriguing. Also a known fan of baked goods. Some interest in frugal cookery.
My cooking tragedies
As a teen my best friend and I made cookies. The butter wasn't at room temperature when we needed it so we microwaved it and added it to the sugar and eggs. We noticed the strange lumpy texture of the ingredients but figured we could beat it fluffy and proceeded to mix and bake them. When said friend's brother bit into one and nearly choked on it we were forced to review our technique. The microwaved butter must have been hotter than we realized, because there were bits of cooked eggs throughout our cookies. The creamy mixture hadn't curdled; we had just invented a new method for scrambling eggs!
