Forrays into Cooking

It's easy to let this blog become only about vet school because vet school consumes the majority of my days. (In all honesty, it could consume a heck of lot more if I let it. I'm more of a crammer so I'm not nearly so studious as my peers...oops.) I prefer to get home from class on weekdays and bum around on the internet, maybe do a productive thing or two and then read for pleasure before talking to my fiance and going to bed relatively early.

But I don't want a blog just about vet school. Because while sometimes enthralling, exhilirating, exciting, etc, vet school has the potential to be dry, boring and tedious. And writing about something that is the latter just makes reading a blog dry, boring and tedious. Which in turn begins to erode my diligence in writing in said blog and then I disappear from the blogosphere for over a year and feel guilty for being such a slack-ass. So what I'm trying to say is, I'm going to attempt to write posts about things other than just vet school. (And yes, I see the irony in taking up an entire post about not writing about vet school...by writing about vet school.) So onward we go to tonight's topic, which is cooking.

I love to cook. I love looking up new recipes, tinkering with old ones, having something turn out successfully and having people enjoy what I make. But if truth be told, I am not always on the winning side of success/deliciousness. Sometimes, I make things that make me really glad that I'm the only one that has to eat it and that no one else ever has to find out about it. Anyway, in a few weeks time I'm having people over for my birthday. It's going to be a bunch of Mexican-themed food because they have no Mexican food up here in this part of the Great White North and by the time I get home on school breaks, Taco Bell looks (and tastes) like fine Mexican cuisine. So I'm aiming for something similar to a pupusa- a center of meat, cheese and beans wrapped in some dough. Haven't yet decided if I should do more palm-sized lumps or put it all in a pie tin and slice it, but I think so long as it tastes good, people won't much care in what shape it took on their plate. If all goes well, I may even post a recipe! Which is a bit presumptuous, but is a hell of a lot better than an Instagram picture of food. But pet peeves are a blog post for another day ;)
