Dark Dreams and Delicious foods.
I have weird dreams. Everyone has weird dreams. Usually, we wake up, forget about them and go on with our lives--or at least that's what I usually do. Today however, I had such a weird dream that I'm still feeling bothered by it. They say that dreams are simply bits and pieces of what's running around in our memories before we go to sleep. If that's true, the things that appeared in this dream...should have never appeared. These were things I forced myself to lock away and forget about long time ago.
My favorite grandmother that died.
A child that drowned.
The car accident.
The lack of faith I used to have in my parents...
....random things I've put away for so long.
There was a bit of humor in it, though. Throughout the whole mess of my dream, no matter what was going on, there was a man insisting I update my Microsoft office word. Yes sir, that really should be my priority, shouldn't it?
Pft. I don't even use word...
ANYWAY
This month is almost over and soon, friends will come visit me!!!
Many of my friends are looking forward to having some authentic Puerto Rican cooking. Unfortunately, it's been forever since I've cooked anything remotely Puerto Rican...so I decided I better get on learning it. So, I've really been paying attention to my cooking. I've been playing around with colors and flavors, mixing and matching... Starting off with the most basic Puerto Rican dish: Yellow rice, beans and salad.
Tonight I'll be putting together a proper menu, so I know what dishes I need to practice..and then I need to look up what ingredients I can use in substitute for the actual ones used.
Maybe if I got to wear the big white chef hat, I'd feel a bit more confident.
Can you cook? Do you cook often?
