so i made oven fries today..i've been meaning to since i got the issue of cooks illustrated w/ the recipe for the "ultimate oven fries" gawd if place made fries like this i would never want those fried ones ever again....aka it was a success...& incredibly simple
i've been working on my typical holiday cooking things...i've been pretty secretive about the things i'm making...i guess it jsut adds to the element of surprise & most ppl don't expect anything from me...hell most ppl probably don't even know my addiction to food/cooking...so it's always fun to see their happy faces...
all i have to say about holiday things is that i want to re-thank my cousin for the thermometer...it's been a blessing! i dunno how else i'd get to try the things i have been...AAAANNNDDD....for the first time in my life i fully appreciate every single piece of candy that enters my mouth...because it is such a freaking pain in the ass to make....all the stirring & it always takes longer than you expect it to cuz you can't rush it you just have to slowly & patiently watch the temp rise....it's like an hr process almost....for each batch...& i realize how insufficient my kitchen things are...i only have one bigger pot & technically it's my rice cooker pot! i've been scrubbing it down like no other...gawd...i'm seriously getting more muscles from all the scrubbing & stirring than i did in a semester's worth of weight lifting haha...ok no...but still it sucks...
hmm...i guess that's it cept my damn box crisis...the crisis in getting boxes for my holiday treats have been hellish...first, the boxes were already expensive...& then! the shipping wasn't included so it'll cost even more & i dunno how much &&&& they shipped it out so freaking late & only after i called them that i'll receive them my last day of classes which is fucking useless...but yea...
literally ppl have been giving me such a hard time everywhere & they all want my money but that should be left for my other blog:P
anyways...
oh yea...
i spent over $100 on groceries for my holiday treats so you all better darn appreciate haha....it's ironic that i want a wustof knife so darn bad yet in one grocery trip i spent enough to buy a wustof & more...my darn holiday spirit hahah jk but i do this all the time though...i pine & obsess about certain things i want but the second someone wants it's i'll buy it for them...annnnyyywayyysss topics for my other blog...
ooh yea...i saw rachel ray & i think she's prettier in real life but maybe that's just cuz i tend to like ppl more in real life cuz she's not all that amazing in the pics i will post them when i get the chance...
