Cake and cookies was kind of where I started, then I followed recipes and then I started playing around with food and the dishes got more and more complex from there, it's something I find relaxing and as much as I love food it's only fitting I learned how to cook. Although my food is typically not for the health conscious, it can be kinda dense and heavy.

dense and heavy is good XD i use meat dairy and grains a lot which are three of the very worst foods to cook with hahaha, but they taste good and there is so much to do with them<3

Same here, one of my favorite foods is bone marrow dumplings in soup. Those are awful for you, but they're soooo goood. But un-hollowed beef bones are very hard to find here and expensive when I do find them so I don't get to make the dumplings very often.

you can't buy stewmeat? that comes boned if you get the right kind or do you have to go to a butcher for bones? (that would be cheap if you had butchers)

I have to go to the butcher, and mixed meat from the local grocery store is usually ham bones when they have it at all and not big ones at that. I need beef bones and at least three big ones to get enough marrow to make enough decent sized dumplings.

ah, well does your butcher scrap bones or sell them?

Sells them, the price of the bones is about average I guess, but it's the cost of the gas it takes to drive all the way over to the next town to get it that's a pain in the ass. But if you want decent anything you have to leave the little pissant town I live in and actually go out into the next one. The area I live in is pretty rural, small clusters of neighborhoods and then open fields for cattle for a few miles before you hit main street.

i have lived there XD

have you thought of a freezer? that way you can buy all your meat at once and go a couple months on that?

We had a full sized meat freezer in the basement, but we recently lost all power in the basement and our refrigerator freezer is just big enough for a couple of weeks worth of meat and frozen goods.

vxv damn.... any way to fix the basement? a walk-in is definatly worth the effort of it

We need a new wiring for the basement, but when we get that we should be good to go.

do you have a date for that?

Thus far no, it all depends on how much money we have at the end of the month and what other things need fixing.

darn, dude this seems like such a lose-lose situation vxv i guess no mones for a while then for you huh?

Nope, but I'm looking to take a break from school and go back to work when the semester ends, need to build me up some funds. Things are tight for now but change is a guaranteed thing eventually so I just have to wait it out and I'll make it, I always do.

dude, you are better than me, i always just cry when things go sour on me(prolly from my father always calling me a crybaby X''D it sooo never worked and just made me worse)

well tonight i am bone-free too, gonna make a chocolate pudding cake with pistachio pudding for the icing

Eehh, I rarely cry over my life situation but I do yell and lose my temper, but once I get it out of my system I'm good to go. Sometimes you just need to release your emotions in whatever way you can.

Although I did cry during Kung Fu Panda 2...so I have no room to call someone else a crybaby. It's kinda embarrassing.

That sounds delicious, it's getting late so I'll be going to bed, goodnight chocobo.

movies are made to make you cry or laugh one and if you manage both then more power to you XD

yeah but it is all emotion, two days ago i walked around with glass in my foot for like an hour then when i got home dug it out with tweezers and walked around on the hole it left and nadda even though it splintered while i was pulling it out but if i get even a little bit of criticism and it is founded in a truth? i burst into tears. it is kinda rediculous

goodnight willis~
