As it seems the popular thing to do, I've broken down and started a blog to document the food I make, what works, what doesn't, you know, the basics.
I absolutely LOVE food. Eating it, making it, and watching others cook. I basically live on the Food Network and will have The Cooking Channel soon. I grew up as probably the pickiest eater you'd ever meet. I didn't even eat PIZZA until I was in 8th grade...I ate many a peanut butter sandwich at the dinner table when mom had made something I 'didn't like'...Then, roughly about 2 years ago, I realized how much food can actually be appreciated. Each and every bit of food has a different flavor and taste. And when combined together, magic happens. I believe that there are only 2 types of food (Forget that whole Food Pyramid thing): That which is eaten to satisfy hunger and that which satisfies your sense of taste and your soul.
I've been wanting to do this forever...and I finally decided that it was time to start. I'm no longer that picky eater. I have made it a habit now to try anything that is put in front of me. While on my trip to New York last January, I found myself eating Sushi, Foie Gras, Bread Pudding and Pink Steak (God forbid!--anyone who knows me knows that this is almost unheard of!) I've decided to use my new found passion for food and while I'm house sitting for the week as well as next January, my goal, while having my own kitchen, is to see what tastes amazing, and what maybe shouldn't ever be made again...
You can ask those I work with, I'll stop in the middle of the day and go 'How good does this sound??' and go off on some combination of food and flavors that have pictured themselves in my head. The latest, baked mozzarella sticks. I tried them out myself tonight, using egg roll wraps and fresh mozzarella cheese. I coated the roll in vegetable oil and then baked them for about 8 minutes on each side, until the cheese started to melt out.
All in all, I like the idea, I'd try it again...BUT it needs something...I'm not sure if baking is the correct way to go, or if maybe it needs more seasoning...but my goal is to try them again (and not just because I have leftover cheese and egg roll wraps...) What I really want to be able to do is make them for the tailgate party before I go to the Packer/Giants game in December. That would be amazing.
I'll keep you posted on how batch 2 goes!
