Yummy!
I always knew I had a flair for this..but just not the patience and that I am a lazy bum.
This is probably the first little step in cooking up more complicated stuff*. And I think its addictive because I keep on thinking about new stuff to cook up and I just bought Spinach pasta** and cheese, which is not usually found in my list.
So I tried doing Carbonara. Yum (:
Main ingredients: spaghetti/ pork goulash (cut into smaller cubes)/ sliced mushrooms
Sauce ingredients: egg yolk + milk + reypenaer cheese***
For a first try, I think its excellent job!
Because of the Carbonara, I had leftover egg white. I decided to bake Meringues****.
Ingredients: Egg white/ Sugar
Its so tough to beat the egg white manually, I think I took a good 30min to do it. Eventually I was rather pleased with my creation and put them into the oven.
I eagerly waited for my dessert
…There’s a smell. A nasty smell of burning food…
My meringues were burnt because the oven was too hot!
Aww, I have to try making them again.
Anyway, this shot includes St Albray cheese because I am now into cheeses, thanks to my sudden cooking fever.
This is produced in France from cow’s milk and is a soft cheese. Rather similar to Brie but has a orange rind. It is high in calcium and has less fat content than Brie.
* This just means that I will use more ingredients and more steps in cooking up something!
** Because of my cooking fever this afternoon, I was so tempted to get better tasting pasta like the spinach pasta that I eventually got. How am I going to finish the 500g pasta?!
*** Bought this amazing cheese from Amsterdam. Its really gooooddd, the finest Dutch cheese indeed. Oh yes, it was expensive.
**** Baking?! I think my family members will have eyes popping out of their heads already.
