Soup etc…

Alright, so instead of working on my American Lit. midterm, I’m just going to do a quick post. I don’t know, maybe it will motivate me to be more productive?

Over the past few months I have noticed a change in my cooking, mostly prep, style. Everything makes sense. I’m not chopping shit up ass backwards like I used to, everything is uniform. Even better, my sense of what tastes good has improved, especially when it comes to soups, stews, and chili.I guess something just clicked with me. I can do a lot more with out really thinking by now.

My chili doesn’t fuck around. I made it a few weeks ago when I was camping with my brother and his girlfriend. Of course, it was cooked over the fire (hands down, the best way to cook), and I might just have to say it was perfect. It was on that fine like of too spicy, and spicy with flavor. Needless to say, I was pleased.

Today I made my first minestrone of the season. It’s pretty much my own recipe by now, I formed it around some cookbook recipe years ago. I usually make it a couple of times a year, which fairly consistent results. Todays was really great, it tasted good, but it looked even better.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’ve finally started to really figure things out. Which is pretty awesome, since it’s taken me so long to figure out what I should be doing with myself.

Now for that midterm!
