Well, my cooking last night resulted in yet another amazing kitchen adventure! I had plans all day to make Salmon for the first time, and I turned on the oven descaled the fish then smelt smoke. So I opened up the oven to see what the heck was going on when a great cloud came billowing out, (yes, I may be exaggerating just a little) so I slammed the door shut quick turned off the oven looked around for the smoke detector which is apparently non existent in my new kitchen I feel jipped very jipped, and opened all the windows. Then I reopened the oven and the smoke was gone within about 30 seconds. Yeah, when you spill banana bread in the bottom of your oven make sure, before you preheat the oven again, that you clean it out or else it results in smoke and a very unpleasant smell. So, lesson learned. And I will now be making salmon tonight.
So, I was also feeling ambitious yesterday so I decided to try to make bread from scratch for the first time. I know how to make it, I learned all about what to do in my 9th grade foods class. Anyway, it did not turn out at all, it smelled wonderful and I was so excited but it tasted like nothing at all and kinda tasted bad actually... So I have decided I am just not destined to make loaves of bread. I also learned that when you're letting yeast rise make sure the bowl is big enough!
If you don't, this happens.... and then it starts to over flow just like the banana bread, but much easier to clean up! This is about half way through the rising time, you can imagine the mess that ensued.
So, lesson learned yet again! I promise I will cook something soon that will turn out amazingly well! No worries, I really can cook!
You told me before that you had cooked some salmon, but you had never mentioned all THIS that happened! You're so funny. This was fun to read. I should ask my sister how bread is done. she makes good bread. ~Nick
