free foodstuffs & a failed project Jul. 31st, 2004 @ 09:43 am
A friend who's moving gave me a bunch of stuff, including bags full of white and wheat and rye flours, rice and mung and garbonzo beans, black-eyed peas, popcorn, cornmeal, rolled oats, and all kinds of goodies, some of which I've never used and some of which I couldn't even have identified without her help.
I'm excited.
And she gave me orange juice, which means eternal love.

It is a very sad thing to use one's last stick of butter in a failed batch of oatmeal cookies. It was a similar problem to what cropped up when I cooked emergency chocolate chip cookies for my roommate, which was that they looked melty and flattened out too quickly. I believe this is due to a too-hot oven, and think I very much need an oven thermometer, so hopefully this can be avoided in the future. I wonder how off this oven is. . .

This journal is going to be home to my cooking adventures, open to everyone and not cluttering up my friends' friendspages. I may post recipes, or photojournals of my cooking; I may provide information and thoughts about organic and sustainable farming and eating locally, I may write about cooking therapeutically.

Please respond, discuss, and provide feedback.
