Happy Thursday, Gang!

I hope so far, you guys have had a good week food wise. Feel free to email me your recipes at my email TheMakingofAChef@Gmail.com . Though, I did tweet and say that I wouldn’t talk about what happened Monday when I decided to try my hand at a Thai inspired recipe, I have decided to discuss it briefly, however the main focus will be on my adventure down to Moe’s Southwest Bar and Grill followed by a trip to a Cupcake & Confections shop (which, you have no idea how thrilled I was to come across one of those, for I had no idea they actually existed).

Hello, Risotto.

I consider myself a pretty diverse cook, but that’s just me. This week, my food choice was a simple Italian dish of chicken and sausage risotto. Yesterday, I woke up bright and early, took care of tidying up the kitchen (I dislike cooking with an already messy kitchen) and set about on the prep work. Sure you think, cooking up rice is probably a piece of cake. It is… If you’re cooking up just rice and not using fresh ingredients. For those who are curious, and don’t let it scare you, it took me an hour to do all of the prep work.

While writing my last post, I got the idea to list off a bunch of foods that I want to try making, try eating, and otherwise consuming this fall/winter. It sounds silly, especially because some of the foods may be “out of season,” but it will give me ideas for the following weeks to come. Especially if I can aim to write an “experiment” post once, or twice a week. It should work out, considering that I lack ideas to try. Between a Harry Potter related cook book, to AllRecipes.com sending me links to their “daily recipe” this list should be far from short.

Y’know, lately, I’ve been rather busy not cooking. Don’t ask how it happens, but it has.

I mean, I’ve cooked, don’t get me wrong, but it has been nothing noteworthy and I don’t want to bore you with more facts about popcorn or another story about picky children.

Speaking of picky children though, haha, just kidding, we won’t go down that lane.
