I've
finally made myself cook a recipe, something I usually put off due to
hassle. On 3rd September, though, I decided to act on
this.
Memory
difficulties make recipe cooking a bit of a challenge. First, I read
through the instructions to check I had all the necessary utensils.
Then I compiled a list on Omninotes of everything I'd need to buy.
The small Asda near me only had half the ingredients I needed, so
this took another trip to the big Tesco later on. For recipe cooking,
you're best off doing the whole shop in one trip by going to as large
a supermarket as possible.
I
find no matter how organised I try to be, I'll still make mistakes. A
store worker helped me find sesame seeds in Tesco, but when I started
cooking I for some reason believed I hadn't been able to find them,
so I didn't include them at all. I'm currently looking at an unopened
pack of sesame seeds.
I
tend to use dried spices from the small pots rather than fresh, as
I'll never use all the fresh produce before the sell-by date. This
might have affected the taste. And by that, I mean the chicken didn't
particularly taste of anything.
I
particularly like watermelon, so when I saw it was included in the
salad I had something to look forward to. The dressing included in
the salad, though, was so gross that even the watermelon tasted shit.
A recipe HAS to be bad to achieve that.
Side
issue here but I really need to brush up on shorthand. I made these
notes yesterday and already I have no idea what I was trying to say.
I use it because there are always more notes to be written than time
allows- I'm trying to watch boiling pans and cut several foods at the
same time, whilst making notes.
Not
particularly sticky, not particularly kicking. Took about an hour to
cook. I might try one of the other books next.
