One Step at a Time

I just made "Cold Avocado Soup" from my recipe book, and it seriously took me five minutes!! Now it just needs to chill in the fridge for a few hours. Man, this cooking thing is awesome. I haven't mentioned it, but back in February, I made my very first quiche. Quiche is B's specialty; last year for my birthday I specifically requested he make one because we hadn't had it in so long. Well, now I make my own, and I've made about seven or eight ever since then! I mean, this is seriously my very first real cooked dish! I've only ever made eggs and sandwiches, nothing that involved baking or whatever. I even took pictures of my quiche; I was so proud. But I can't find the charger for my camera right now, and it won't turn on, so I'm just using a stock pic I found off the internet.


So after five months of repeating (but not yet perfecting) and devouring the same dish, I finally decided to get on trying something new. A couple of weeks ago, I tried making "Open-Faced Crab Sandwiches," but the crab mix turned out God-awful. Come to think of it, it's still sitting there in the fridge. Oops. Anyway, I just now made the soup, and tomorrow I'm attempting my first pasta: bow-tie with shrimp and pesto. I personally would've preferred linguine or fettuccine, but since I'm new to this whole "making your own food" thing, I'm going to stick to the recipe. Our beautiful kitchen is actually more useful than just being aesthetically pleasing. Who knew?!
