I am so hungry. With Brandi being sick, I haven't really cooked this week. Sure, I made a beef and macaroni casserole last night, and steak three nights ago, but other than that, it has been a kind of "fend for yourself" week. Tonight we are having left over casserole, or at least the kids and Junior are. I have a bad habit of cooking things the rest of the family likes, but that I won't eat. It's a good thing I like salads and lean cuisines.
Don't get me wrong, I love to cook. I also love to watch cooking shows. The Food Network is on all the time in my house. One of my favorite shows is Iron Chef America. I remember one time the secret ingredient was kobe beef . This is where I get educated, because I had never heard of kobe beef before. It was great watching what the chefs came up with. I think one of them even served the beef raw, which I thought you couldn't do. See, I learned something.
Watching that show makes me want to go out and Buy Steaks so that I can try my hand at some of the things they make. I know, most of the dishes they come up with are extremely complicated. But I can try and come up with some of the same flavor combinations. Some days I dream of going to culinary school. I think I would be good at it, although I would rather follow someone else's recipe than come up with my own. If you were to slap some USDA prime
in front of me, I couldn't come up with five different ways to prepare it. Heck, I probably couldn't come up with three ways to cook it.
I think that proves I'm no Iron Chef.
