So have you ever had one of those boring nights? No one wants to do anything, and there is no way for you to get out of house? Well, I get those every weekend, but I love it. This is the time I vlog, edit photos, listen to loud music, and just have my own party. It really is a lot of fun, but most of all, I love cooking whatever I want.
To full understand where I come from, you must know that my family comes from South America and we have kept a lot of the traditions of a South American life such as eating late at night. I hardly get hungry before 8, and usually around 9. On top of it, I LOVE to cook. So when no one is home to pick on me, I cook like no one can believe.
Last week, my grandmother was home, but she was too lazy to move out of her room, and she listened to her when I told her that I wanted to cook for myself so she didn't to worry. This meant that I had freedom so I looked in the fridge, had a minor debate in my head as to what to make, and then decided that I would make a fajita. Here are a couple of pictures of the mayhem that occurred.
Although, this was a couple days ago. My favorite thing to cook when no one else is home is my own homemade macaroni and cheese. I promise you that I am telling you the truth that it is amazing. I make my own Béchamel from butter, flour, milk, and of course a lot of cheese. I learned from both my father, who is a chef, and from watching the Food Network whenever I'm bored. The first time I tried to make it, it came out horrible and it took 3 more times for me to get it perfect. Now, tonight was a big event for cooking because I haven't made pasta for myself well over 2 months due to my dedication to the Atkin's diet. It's been well worth the loss of carbohydrates, but every now and then I treat myself. So tonight I made another rookie Béchamel for my pasta and it came out amazing, although, I had forgotten how small of portions I have been eating lately. I made enough for three people, but I ate it all anyways because it was so good. You have to have fun sometime!
This is when I started to doubt my ability to eat it all because the bowl was just about as big as my head.
I wish everyone knew how to make their own homemade macaroni and cheese because it is an awesome trick to have. I know that I would love to teach it to kids, along with Rice Krispie Treats and Cookies!
