Anticipation
I’m super excited! For some reason this weekend, I finally found my way around foodbuzz and it really inspired me to do more in the kitchen. Seriously. I think it’s also the colder weather that makes me want warm things at home.
I just bought some items at leeners that is going to help me make some mozzarella cheese! I’m really excited! I’m anxiously waiting my packages at work. (It should get here later this week.) I’m probably getting ahead of myself, but I’m all ready planning to make some hard cheeses. I don’t know what it is about cheeses that is exciting me so much. My coworker asked what brought this about, and I couldn’t answer him. I feel like it’s simple enough for me to do and a fun experiment. I hate waiting for things, but the very idea of waiting for cheeses to ripen and age, fills me with anticipation.
In the short term, though, I am getting inspiration for what to make in the coming days. I really want to try potato pancakes or this cauliflower and cheese pancakes! I’ve been craving something starchy and cheesy for a while. I was going to fall back on home made mac n’ cheese with gruyere and pecorina, but I might try some dinner pancakes instead. Maybe I want to make all this cheese, because I just want to eat it. (inspiration for most of my foods is based on wanting to eat it, though!) Tonight I might try making the root vegetable cream soup (sprinkled with some cheese on top).
I want something warm, creamy, cheesy, and comforting…
Also, I picked up my old bento boxes from my mother last week. They were pretty hardcore saccharine Sanrio characters. I’m really amused by the idea of Ryan carrying my old Keroppi lunchbox. Ryan’s new project, apparently, is to create bento boxes. I’m really curious to see what he does.
