NaBloPoMo for July - Day 1
Ah, crap! I got into editing the podcast and forgot a new month started! Okay, let's see what I can get out in the next... 37 minutes?!? Yikes! And since it's a new month, the new theme is... FOOD.
Okay, I can work with that (but quickly)!
I've recently discovered that the local library has a LOT of Alton Brown's "Good Eats" show on DVD, so I've been checking them out. I've gotten a lot of good tips on cooking, more ideas on stuff I'd like to try to make (yes, I cook!), and a better understanding of how cooking works.
I was even inspired to finally buy some actual cloves of garlic and try them instead of garlic powder. Well, I was inspired, but my wife beat me to it and tried some in some baked chicken. MUCH better than with the powder. We will definitely be adding real cloves to more things we cook. That, combined with real onion instead of onion powder should make for even tastier meals.
The onion was my fault - my mom never cooked with real onion as far as I can remember, so I got wierded out when I started finding it in the food the wife made after we got married. I asked her to stop using it, so she switched to powder. Thankfully, I've seen the light, and she's gone back to cooking with real slices of onion - and now, real cloves of garlic as well. I wonder what else I can learn to like?
