Cooking and 2010



I enjoy food and I love cooking, but I seem to be stuck in a cooking rut. I keep making the same 5 or 6 things over and over again and they seem to always involve chicken and ground beef. Lisa said no mas and bought me an awesome cook book. I also discovered and found some amazing recipes. I need to invest in some decent pans and pots and after a trip to Williams Sonoma this weekend I am in love with the pans pictured above. Unfortunately they cost a lot and I will have to save up for them, but I think they will be worth it.

Lisa received some weird gifts for Christmas and our New Year's tradition is that I return whatever I can to Wal Mart. After being frisked and checked to make sure none of my items were stolen, they gave me a store credit card. Woohoo. Free money. I wish I could return things to Whole Foods but unfortunately they don't carry crap. I must be on an Asian kick because all of the recipes I picked to try this week are Asian inspired. Hopefully even with my crappy equipment and limited work space, I can make something different and tasty.

On a whole different note, I am creeped out by Latisse. How the F can your eyes turn a different color? Why would you want to have freaky eyelid skin darkening just to get some thicker lashes? I already have some decent lashes, but damn!

Le Creuset cookware is gorgeous, isn't it? I had to save up for two years just to get one dutch oven. It's from Staub instead of Le Creuset. They are both super fancy, super pricey high quality French enameled cast iron manufacturers. I love it and use it for tons of stuff. I tried cutting corners with a Martha Stewart enameled cast iron pot from Macy's but it started chipping within 2 weeks even though I treated it gentle as a baby, so I took it back. The good stuff really does seem to be worth it.

I just look at the web site and drool. I want all kinds of nifty gadgets and I want to get one of those hanging racks I see in the movies. My most immediate need is a rolling pin and some decent spatulas.
