Cooking

I guess it has well been established that am a lousy cook. Most of my forays into the culinary world ended up in semi-disasters. =P

Like eggs turning gray. And.. well.. butter turning gray while sizzling like cray-hay-hay-zay.

Anyway, i tried cooking pasta again just now, because, i saw a packet of elbow macaronis in the kitchen and we didn't have any pasta sauce. So while i was in Cold Storage yesterday, i picked up a can of mushroom alfredo sauce. Parents were surprised, and somewhat excited, so dad hovered nearby to supervise. xD

Haiyo. Should have done this while i was younger like 14-15 years old but i was busy.. let's just say busy. Still, never too late to learn.

Lessons Learnt:

1) Never buy Campbell pasta sauces. Mushroom alfredo had this peculiar... aroma to it that wasn't very pleasing.

2) I should stir the onions & garlic till they're a tad more fragrant. All i did was give a perfunctory lil' stir, and then i chucked the sauce in.

3) Get the friggin ingredients ready. As it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, i didn't have much ingredients to throw in. No parmesan. No mushrooms. No bacon. No olives. Or whatever. All i could find was this frozen container of shredded roast chicken that i hastily defrosted.

Anyway, i think pasta requires the least skills in cooking. Chinese food, now that's a major headache... Things can go wrong if the heat isn't right, or the timing isn't right... But i guess in time i'll be able to cook, y'know, stuff... in the near future. I hope. :D
