A Weekend Without Cooking

You may be wondering why I am writing a blog post if, in fact, there was no cooking done this weekend. Well, truth be told, I did cook a little bit. I don't know if Friday night counts but that's when it happened.

Friday:
So I got home around 10:30 or so from Video Gamer's Club upon which I took a shower and got started on cooking my "Veggie Pizza." There isn't a lot involved in this. Basically, I used croissant dough and baked it in the oven for about 12 minutes at 375 degrees (I've made a few croissants in my day, let me tell you). Then, after that had cooled basically, all you have to do is spread some cream cheese on top with cut up broccoli and carrots. It was a good way of using up the veggies that were about to go bad in my fridge. Next time, I'll make it from scratch and it will be a little more exciting. The cream cheese could have used some herbs or something. It was kind of bland. Also, note to self, I should probably refrigerate it instead of leaving it in my car all day. It would've tasted better if it had been cold. I had been making this for a party I was going to on Sunday, by the way.

Sunday:

So yesterday was Easter. I had no involvement in the meal that was made except for maybe helping put things on the table which really doesn't count. Somehow I got stuck working yesterday mostly because I was being nice and not making my dad work yesterday. Well, I missed getting to go to church so I was a little bit pissy especially when customers kept trying to buy things around the time I was trying to close up. Anyways. We had ham, green beans, croissants (did I tell you), tossed salad, mashed potatoes and scalloped potatoes. The scalloped potatoes really didn't turn out that good, but I'm not surprised. My mom doesn't really like cooking with cheese which I don't understand at all. But anyways. This is why I should have been there helping. Somebody needed to be the one to add the cheese, butter and milk (most of which my mom avoids).

So anyways. I did make a little something for my lunch today last night. I made tuna salad. It's actually quite good. Basically it's tuna, celery and onions with special mayo. The sauce includes mayo, dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, pepper and sugar. So yeah. It turned out really good. And all I had to do this morning was spread it on a couple of slices of bread and voila! Tuna salad sanwhich to go.

So anyways. I haven't gone grocery shopping this week, but I do wanna make a couple new dishes. I was thinking about doing fish again. We'll see, though. I kind of wanted to make stir fry, too. We'll see what happens.

Happy cooking!
