The Magic of the Internet

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

Ingredient Madness

Okay. I know I don't know a lot about what ingredients work best with other ingredients but I just have to say, the chefs on the Food Network Channel's show "Chopped" are simply inspirational.

They are given a basket with random food items and must come up with a dish that incorporates all those items. And some of the those items are completely bizarre! Well, to me as a beginner, anyway.

Rabbit, rattlesnake, tapioca pearls (not sure about those), mussels and oxtails to name a few. And they are paired with ingredients that no normal person would even consider putting together. Brussel sprouts and sour cream? Pickles and strawberry jam? Totally outrageous!

But the best part? These incredible people actually make dishes that look good, are edible and for the most part, even delicious! I don't know that I'll actually get to that level or even if I'd want to but it is so very interesting seeing what each one comes up with in their own way. Some of them can be quite creative.

So I watch the show, fascinated, and hope that maybe their creative juices will flow out of the TV and into me. Hey! It could happen!

Thanks for listening!
