Hi, world.

Hi, world.

Yes, I started a new blog. I kept wanting to post stuff in my old one, but I just couldn't think of anything witty to say ever, so I'm unleashing all of my creative energy in this new blog right here. In case you also didn't realise, I've decided to become really serious about learning to cook.

Now, if you've ever interacted with me, like, ever, in the real world, you will know that I'm really into cupcakes. And I may be a little biased here, but I'd like to say that I do make some pretty kickass cupcakes. I've also got a wide variety of interests, stemming from science related stuff (I'm a geography major) to music, to everything in between, but one thing I've always wanted to do was learn to cook. And I've always told myself that I'm finally going to learn, but it hasn't really come to fruition yet. Basically, I'm really good at following directions; I can follow recipes really well, and I'm to the point where I can bake cupcakes and cookies without even looking at a recipe, but I want to learn how to really cook. I want to be able to take a frozen dead animal out of the freezer, know exactly what herbs to throw on that bitch, and cook it so well that I could convert a vegetarian.

So anyway, my quest to learn to cook took me to a used bookstore, where I found a gigantic "Joy of Cooking" book. I don't judge books by their covers, but I do it rather based on their fonts, how it feels in my hands, and whether or not I like what I see when I skim through the pages. I had picked up a number of cookbooks by this point, and I liked a lot of them, but the second I picked up the "Joy of Cooking" one, I knew it was the one I was taking home. So that's what I'm using. For the sake of copyright shit too, since I googled "can I post a recipe on a blog," and it told me it wasn't a good idea, I'm not going to post any recipes on here until I'm good enough to tweak it so it's my own. This is kind of long, so I'll make this individual post my "introduction," and we'll start anew on another post.
