I made dinner tonight. You may be thinking... Wow Camilla 'Whoopity doo dah!' !:) (remember the sarcasm emoticon).. I'll describe what I made and perhaps you'll get a little bit more excited. I made pork chops with a grainy mustard sauce and a side of gnocchi (from scratch). Then for desert I made a glorious pavlova. It was most probably the first time that I've ever actually been pleased with what I've cooked. Usually my cooking is disastrous... the chicken's dry or it's still pink in the middle 'I thought that you could have rare chicken...' Note that this is my cooking rather than my baking. They're like black and white really. Cooking is far more dangeous. That;s because when you're baking you can taste test along the way. A spoonful here and a finger there. You can tell if something's going terribly wrong. Whereas with cooking you don't find out if you've succeeded until the food is on your plate and at that point it isn't really appropriate to chuck it back in the pan...
I must admit that I think that I love baking because it gives you instant gratification with each tasty mouthful... Yum. But finally I can see that some good things take time and my gnocchi was shtunning!
3 Good Things
*Watching Easy A with Phoebe... Good movie! Although I must admit that my favorite is Tangled atm! I love it!
*Cooking dinner.
*Walking home with my grocceries. I felt so mature/stupid for not topping up my snapper card... Silly child!
Ohmygod that pork chop mustard thing is soooo good, im always getting my mum to make it, but we dont normally have the gnocchi cos she doesnt like it. Btw having your blog in french is stupid, I cant understand what im sposed to do next...Phoebe :)
