My inner pastry chef
I think I can cook.
Well until a friend told me that what I'd made for dinner looked gross. When I looked at the picture I took, I guess it did. It was a picture of seconds. Firsts looked restaurant good.
I had tikka masala for dinner. I did not make this dish from scratch. I opened a jar that I purchased at der Commissary. I'm in a world traveler mood for food these days. I want some chicken tava and purchased the necessary ingredients for that as well. I also bought the stuff to make schnitzel. Either pork or chicken. It was cheaper to buy a slab of pork chops than buy individual ones, so me being me, thinks he's a master butcher as well. OK, maybe not, but I can cut between the bones and make pork chops.
The hunter sauce for the schnitzel will come out of a packet. McCormick used to make good Hunter Sauce. Not anymore. It's discontinued. So is Swiss Steak mix. I guess we don't eat european in America anymore.
Swiss steak isn't on the menu by the way. Meatloaf is, though and that's about as American as you can get. I have no idea how in the hell to make meatloaf for just me. Wanna come for dinner? What about dessert?
I wanted pain au chocolat. I made said yummy goodness. Tastes great. But I forgot to roll them instead of fold them so they didn't turn out how I wanted them to. Next time, I will remember. Next time will be soon.
I need a case of puff pastry. OK, I want a case of it because I learned how to make Napoleons. So simple. Can't believe I couldn't figure that one out until I saw them being made Youtube is so good for stuff like that. And fixing stuff too. Everybody makes videos of doing everyday stuff.
They come in handy.
So you can tell I can't sleep.
So I'm thinking of things to bake for my pretend pastry shop. In it, there would be eclairs, cream puffs with strawberries hanging out of them, mini tarts, some savory treats, and napoleons.
I really need to go to bed.
