Comfort Food

Saturday, 31 January 2009

I have developed a strong interest in cooking since we moved... I'm not sure why... But this domestication has engulfed me recently... After a terrible week at work resulting in my resignation I set off to work in the kitchen. I think it's quite soothing... Playing around with tastes and colours. An elderly gentleman from work who lives quite close to me dropped in a bag of plums from his garden so I set to work making plum sorbet and a cardamon plum cake with a buttery icing... I was considering plum jam but we don't really eat jam so there are still a few left if anyone has any ideas! I also whipped up some orange/raisin sugarless cookies (I WILL overcome the failed sugarless cake!) and some capsicum pasta with garlic... The problem is I naturally gravitate towards unhealthy foods! I don't seem to know how to cook anything else... and everything I do cook ends up tasting sweet/unhealthy anyway! :-) Fortunately one of my web clients who dropped around a CD for me liked the cooking a lot and offered me a job! Not sure if I'll take it or not as it's not exactly what I had in mind... but it's good to know that there's a backup out there, and that the power of food can overcome much! :-)
