So, today is the day, the first day of this self-inflicted ‘blog recipe challenge’ and I’m already freaking out. My fridge is not stocked although my cupboards are full, of what you ask? Who knows? I certainly don’t. This project is going to force me to think ahead if it’s going to be cost effective and manageable. Cooking isn’t cheap especially if you’re aiming to cook with half decent ingredients. I’d say cost is the main reason I don’t cook often, couple cost with laziness and the time it takes to prep and wait for the damn meal to cook….It’s exhausting. This is why I’m here writing in cyber space to curb my laziness , eat better, learn about cooking, achieve a life ribbon, while using this blog to view my progress this year. I’m excited/terrified.
You know those Lean Cuisine commercials where three women chat about what they had last night for dinner; one of them paints a horrific image of grazing on stale box of crackers while chomping on a wedge of cheddar cheese, the other sighs and admits she ate a tub of Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey, then the last lady describes in detail her mouth watering Lean Cuisine as the other women stand dumbfounded. Guess who I am??? I’m a CHUNKY MONKEY holding a brick of cheese. Alright, so this admission also means I should hit the gym. I know, I know. One step at a time. I want to describe mouth watering dishes to people at the water cooler too, but things I’ve made from scratch not memories of a sodium laced chicken breast with a few grains of rice.
My challenge starts today. I have 7 days starting from today to make 4 different recipes. Good thing I didn’t make it 7 recipes a week, I’d fail today. I’m going out for a drink (which translates to many drinks and a hangover in the morning) with my friend Bobbie tonight in the Village. I can’t cook tonight, it’s my B-Day. You never know, I could think of something all drunk and messy when I get home, surprising even myself.
