As everyone has already figured out, I REALLY don't like to cook.
Not sure if the wiring went wrong in the womb or what but it absolutely bores me to even
THINK about cooking.
Although, I LOVE to watch people create different things in the kitchen. Which is why I love those cooking competitions on TV. Like "Worst Cooks in America" (I'm not THAT bad) or "Chopped"
And as you all possibly read in the last post, I'm trying to lose weight.
Finally weighed myself after eight months of not smoking.......
Sigh
I have gained over THIRTY pounds. May not seem a lot to some, but when you're already fighting
a weight problem, its HUGE. (Play on words intended...lol)
Well, I put myself on a strict diet. More or less, anyway. (I do like my food..lol) And went on the internet to find good foods to eat and snack on. Found quite a bit and am doing pretty good.
My favorite snack I found I could eat? Hard-boiled eggs. Love 'em....
Just not sure how to cook them.
Go ahead. I'll wait til the laughing dies down.
Mentioned it to a friend and she actually found a recipe for it.
Easier than I thought....
Love the internet.
And the eggs?
Awesome, of course
LOL
Thanks for listening

Cookbook for Dummies (Like Me)
Memories are a good thing. They help us remember people that are gone and things we've done in the past; some even help us in the future.
My cooking guru/guinea pig, Robin, was remembering a cookbook from her past that helped her tremendously when she was just starting to cook. And lo and behold! She went to the library for some books and thought maybe she could find that same book. There it was. The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook published in 1980. This book is incredible. There are pictures for every single recipe; whether easy for people like me or for the more capable cook. Instructions are step-by-step; you just can't go wrong!
Not only does it have a TON of food recipes, it also has wine and beverage recipes that anyone would love to have. I've also discovered in the back a glossary of cooking terms (boy, I need those!), a calorie guide, menu planning and so much more! It even has an herb and spice list showing the characteristics and uses of all kinds of spices. Is that cool or what?
I just had to share this. This is a truly incredible book for cooks like myself just starting out. Definitely worth sharing with someone else. Thanks for listening!
