She can cook!

I cooked again. Yesterday, I made tomato basil soup. The recipe called for fresh tomatoes, but I decided that canned diced tomatoes were good enough. I bought a blender a few days ago, and let me tell you that it was a wise investment. You can work many miracles with a blender. The soup turned out to be delicious! It was easy to make too. It was also low-fat. I will never go back to canned tomato soup. I'll make this stuff in bulk come winter time...or do I need to wait until winter? I found an easy pizza crust and pizza sauce recipe online, and I might attempt that too.

Tonight, I will attempt to make a chicken stir-fry. It looks simple enough, and I bought frozen stir-fry vegetables. I will get to make my Botan Japanese rice for the first time ever. Japanese rice is the best. But wish me luck in handling raw meat. I don't have a lot of experience with that.

I believe cooking may soon become a passion of sorts. I'm going to take a cooking class in the summer and I can't wait to learn more!

Mom, cancel the DNA tests...I am your daughter! *laughs*

Oh, and I received rave reviews about my peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. One friend is quoted as saying that my cookies are "amazing".
