I Am A Culinary God!

ately, I've been really into cooking. Specifically, I've been all about learning to cook new delicious things, especially given that I can count the number of recipes I know off the top of my head on one hand. And I wouldn't even need all of that hand's fingers. So, yeah, I've been trying to expand my culinary vernacular.

I started with a simple breakfast that's fairly obvious but that I had never made before. I threw some olive oil in a pan, followed that with some onions, and then added some Yukon gold potatoes. After that went for a while, I took some brats, peeled off the casing, chopped them up, and threw those in with everything else. When that was all cooked up, I put it on a plate and threw some fried eggs on top. It was fucking simple and delicious.

Then, last night, I decided to go for broke. Struck by inspiration while at the store with RPM, I bought some asparagus, blue cheese, and a big steak. When I got it all I looked in my fridge and realized that I had some bacon. So I cooked up the bacon, fried up the asparagus in the bacon grease, and made some mashed potatoes. Then I threw blue cheese and bacon in the mashed potatoes. Then I cooked the steak for about three seconds per side. I even plated the whole thing in a very attractive manner when I was done.

In the end, it was pretty good. Not excellent, though. I can definitely make some improvements when i make it again. But, still, I took a shot in the dark on dinner and it paid off. I was pleased.
