RE: I don't taste food while I cook.

in #food7 years ago

Hahaha

The title drew my attention

I don't taste while cooking too, but for a different reason.

I'm a bad cook so I figured it changes nothing. Besides, my cooking only involves frying eggs and boiling yams. Simple meals only. Most of the time I eat outside.

But then, as @imjustsaying noted, there's no right or wrong ways to cooking. There are only good meals and bad ones. And you don't seem to have the bad ones (maybe a few burnt toast)

Blessings

Sort:  

haha that's awesome

ya, if it comes out yummy, that's all that matters

Your profile description (whatever you call it -- when you click your name and the menu drops down).. is great. I don't do auto-votes but I quickly hit follow lol

I'm going to edit the profile soon. Maybe today. Just can't think of something better for now.

Thanks for the follow

I followed back too

Blessings

blessings back at you!

I started out by frying eggs. I used to make eggs for my friends in high school after a late night. I just kept throwing different stuff into it, garlic, mixed herbs and different spices. After a while I was known as the guy who made bomb eggs.

Eventually I did the same for frozen pizzas, and would turn a boring old gas station pizza into something that tasted as good if not better than delivery. Eventually I did more onto to trying full dishes, but I didn't really do that until I had a family.

It's all about starting somewhere. A good spice rack, is a great companion.

I love those stories.

The first thing I ever used to make for myself, in high school....

Was hot dogs with sauteed onion (and garlic I think, if we had it) and melted American cheese. I'd melt the cheese right into the onions and then put the mixture on the hot dogs lol. And then mustard. I thought it was so fancy.

🤔

Maybe I'll start with experimenting different shades of fried eggs. To be honest, I've never been keen about cooking. I can create a story out of it; but the actual cooking? Nah, I'll prefer to leave it to someone else

Say, apart from cooking for the family, you have any other plan? Like going commercial?

Somehow I missed this reply.

I've considered looking into making sauces on a large scale. I'm just so busy with day to day life that It's hard to find make the time to look into what would be needed to achieve this. I'm broke as, so it somewhat limits my options. That being said it's really something I should spend some time on. I very much like the idea of being self employed.

A-ha!

You know what your reply reminds me of?

A while ago, someone asked me what I would do if I could do anything and never fail. I said I was going to write an awesome novel. She then asked for what was stopping me

I think I'm like you in that regard. The only thing stopping me was money. I felt I couldn't leave my current source of income to focus on the novel. I also felt the novel might not pay enough to justify the expenses. Even at this time, I'm yet to start.

But I think we can start small. The two of us. I don't know how it works in your country but you could start small. Who knows, the money might come in too. I've decided to begin the first chapter of my novel today

Eruka!

You just gave me an idea for my first post for today

It's funny you say that. I actually started writing my novel and posting it here. It was pretty much a rough draft, as I didn't know that I could edit posts for my first month or so. But I don't really think that Steemit with a seven day reward window is the right place to do it. I've been thinking of reediting my old posts and finish the current chapter and post it as a single unit here. It could be sort of a sneak peak of sorts, without compromising my ability to publish in the future.

The sauce thing is more of an "obtainable" in the near future goal rather than a dream. I would much rather create worlds and tell stories. Like If I didn't have to worry about money for my family in the short term I would totally spend 6+ hours a day trying to hone my writing skills, crafting worlds and lives. I think we are pretty similar in that way. :)

I really enjoy your style of writing, it's very lively. Unfortunately I don't have the time to read as much of the things I would like to. But after reading your story about the devils pin, I knew that I have to follow if only to be able to check back from time to time to see what wonderful stories you were creating.

Have a lovely day. Thanks for the encouragement.

Wow I didn't see these messages. I actually wish Steemit gave you a notice of reply or something when either it's a comment on your blog or in a comment tree you're a part of.

Like, if person A says something, B responds, and C responds to B.. the way it works is A doesn't get any notification (I don't think), but they might be interested and C might even be kind of talking to them.

But ya, I think putting a sneak peak on here and publishing it for purchase would be the way to go.

I think Steem could be used well in that sense, where it's like now people have a way to interact with the author, and they know that if they buy your book they can also ask you questions about things etc.

I agree, it would be super nice if this was built in. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has made/is coding a bot to do this.

These are the sort of the wonderful uses for bots. Like Steemit would be much harder if not for @ginabot.

Again, I agree. Would be pretty cool being able to interact with an author. I just wish that rewards were set up a bit differently. Imagine being able to interact with an Author as the story is being created. It would be like a somewhat interactive novel. Perhaps a third party app, like a d.tube type thing could be set up for writings that was made in a way that rewards could continue beyond the 7 day mark. I don't know if it would be feasible or not, but it would be really cool.

I know most of the time I would like to spend writing I usually spend "mining" on steemit. It would be awesome to have a sort of crowd funded writing mechanism. The finished work would be free for everyone(maybe some sort of a fee for an official hard copy or a jazzed up e-book), but the process would be paid by those who helped contribute to the author's writing.

Seems to make sense to me. But I'm just not sure that it will/could be implemented here on steemit. My guess is that one day a platform will do this, and it could really be a bit of a game changer. It would be a communal publishing house type thing.

I think this thread is rather getting long

I'm headed over to your blog to see this wonder talk about

See you there

If you do get the time to read it, I would love to hear any feedback.
