Cooking

Cooking is an interesting thing for me.

I can cook basic food like bagels and pasta, barely.

My big problem is that I can make other things, just not very well, it seems like every time at least one thing has to go wrong.


For instance,

The other day I tried to be a cool older sister and tried to make my brother mac and cheese.

I'm going to say it ahead of time, I hate mac and cheese. The stuff disgusts me.

It might be that you have to literally squeeze a giant bag of cholesterol into a thing of pasta, i don't know.

Anyway, to start it all off i went to pour the pasta from the box into the boiling water and completely forgot about the "cheese" bag until,  'plop'.  It falls in the water.

One new box of mac and cheese and one new pot of boiling water later, I'm back on track. The pasta is cooking in the water, the "cheese" is sitting on the counter waiting.

At the moment i'm feeling all proud of myself, "hey look at me, doing mature things like cooking!"

So I decided to have a little victorious celebration. I crank the tunes up while dancing around my kitchen like an idiot.

I swear to god once I turn on music, I can't turn it off. It does something loopy to my brain and it makes me HAVE to dance.

Twenty minutes later I finally get all of my dancing out of my body and I find, I've completely overcooked my macaroni.

I throw it out of the pot and into the colander I had all pre set up like an intelligent person.

I squeeze the cheese out onto it, throw it in a bowl, ad serve it to my brother.

He takes one bite, makes a face, and pushes it away.

Me- "what's wrong"

Him- "It tastes funny!"

Me -"No, it doesnt"

Him-"Yes it does!"

I then do the unthinkable, I try it.

Like I said before, I hate this stuff.

I barely hold back the urge to instantly throw up long enough to swallow it.

Crap. He's right. It tastes... wrong.

I re-read the instructions to find that you have to ad butter, and a lot of it.

After doing so I bring the new buttered stuff to my brother.

He proceeds to get up and walk away, saying "I'm not even hungry anymore"


Great.
