Not A Cook
Posted by Ling on March 24, 2006
Sighs. I just attempted to make a batch of choc chip cookies and they all resemble black, burnt rocks! I was born to eat, not to cook! Sighs.
I have been looking at recipes of yummy food and attempting to recreate them, so that I can throw a dinner party and impress my guests. So far, I have tried making fish pie, vegetable lasagne, chicken pie, lemon & honey roast chicken, french onion soup and choc chip cookies…
One word : YUK!
I follow the recipes to a tee…okay, that’s a lie…I change some ingredients here and there to make the dish my own…and I watch cooking programmes and they make it look so easy…
Mr Geek and I made french onion soup the other day and we totally messed up. The recipe said 1 cup of white wine. We had those miniature bottles of wine collected from planes (yes, cheapskates are we!).
Anyway, what is 1 cup?? Cups can be small, medium or big! So, I poured the whole bottle of white wine PLUS another half bottle of red wine into the soup…HAHAHA!! It was revolting!!! Food poisoning anyone??
(French onion soup is Mr Geek’s favourite food and I must must must perfect it..anyone know a good recipe for it??)
Looks like I’m not gonna be inviting people round for dinner for a while…(and no, I refuse to buy pre-cooked meals although, I may be tempted to bribe Sis 4 to cook…hmmm…??)
In conclusion : I am not a cook!

1 cup for liquids is 250ml…
for flour 1 cup it equal to125g (but i found a site that recipes “1cup” = 220g so check with the author/source of the recipe; they should tell you the conversions!)
good luck
