Post from Journals Past....

I found this cute notebook that a great friend gave to me specifically to document my thoughts and recipes for my blog...however, it got lost in the shuffle very quickly and I only had time to write a couple of pages! But alas! It has been recovered from the desert island of "who the hell knows where" ....One of the two journal entries truly cracked me up! Has anyone ever lost something that they wrote personal thoughts and then found a few years later? The way that I write and think truly made me laugh out loud at myself!!! I distinctly remember writing this journal entry with the mindset that this is what my blog would be about...the good, bad and the ugly....and this one is ugly! :)

Please excuse my horribly scribbled handwriting (and F bombs!) :)

Here is what I hoped to share with everyone - to make you laugh and realize that sometimes in the kitchen we have huge MISTAKES as well as SUCCESSES.... here is my story of mistakes:

7/27/10

I always set off with a great goal of making "The Best ______" and sometimes I surprise myself with being a culinary genius and sometimes it is the biggest disappointment!!

 I know what I am doing WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE SHIT????!?

Things I've fucked up:

1. Peach Pie Crust: Remember to cook the crust first......hellloooooooo!!!!!

2. Rib Eye Stew: It's best to cook in a crock pot all day sllloooooww to keep the meat from getting tough - But I was in a hurry AS USUAL so I cooked too high and too fast. Tough shit - literally.

3. Rice Casserole (side note - in retrospect this just sounds terrible!): Don't ever use frozen peas or make sure they are thawed otherwise  you get watery, cheesy, yucky rice.

So there it is - hope everyone got a good laugh and remembers to laugh at themselves in the kitchen! 

LOTS OF LOVE, KIM
