Food for Thought

Hello followers,

This is Matt. Yes, I am posting, and yes, I am awesome.

Kayle and I made a goal to cook lots of different foods and attempt to make things that are actually edible. So far, we have been successful! (to a degree) And more importantly, the food has come out delicious. To entice your pallets, here are some pics of some of our culinary creations:

Broccoli  Cheese Casserole

Despite its somewhat interesting look, it was delicious

Pepperoni and Olive Pizza

My personal favorite so far

Fun Fact: Kayle sliced all those olives herself from whole ones

Spaghetti with homemade meatballs

The spaghetti and sauce were fabricated, nothing special

The key is the meatball: I personally hand mashed the meat, crumb, and egg mixture with love. Delicious

Bruschetta 

And yes, it was delicious

As will be seen further down, we did not use a traditional sourdough bread

Instead, we made a flatbread recipe (same as pizza dough above) and it turned out great

Now I present to you, with great personal embarrassment, some of our cooking failures:

This is the sourdough that was not used for the bruschetta mentioned above.

This isn't necessarily a cooking failure as much as a bread resuscitation failure.

We bought the stick a week prior to making the bruschetta; BIG mistake

The bread was an absolute rock when it came time to use it

In my infinite accounting wisdom, I thought I could save the bread by running water over it

It didn't work...

Ok followers, you decide! What is it?

I'll save you some time:

This is the failed first attempt of whole wheat bread in our new handy dandy bread maker!

Needless to say, it was not edible in the least bit.

I believe Oster uses a bit of false advertising on their box:

Notice the nice, perfect loaf on the box and compare it to the inedible wheat brick on the right

Well, I guess we'll still buy a loaf from the store this week...

In conclusion followers, our food adventures continue! We've made several other meals that have turned out very tasty too. And maybe we'll even share our secrets with you...maybe.
