I have no idea what to make! I have too many ideas in my head and it's stalling my cooking adventures. I want to do something big. Something that will make this interesting for people to read. But when I looked through our cabinets there's not much there that will fulfill my big dreams. I could make appetizers, entrees, or desserts! French fries, onion rings, steak, chicken, Mexican food, Italian food, cake, and even ice cream!
Also, I want to start a process that involves more than one post. This means a bread that needs to rise, or bacon that needs to be cured, or something else that needs to be aged. Basically something that takes a lot of time and will pay off for the hard work in the end.
I just wanted to share some of my ideas with you because I haven't posted anything lately! Sorry about that, I'm getting on it.
Thanks!

The First Meal
Homemade Chicken Nuggets!
Chicken nuggets have always been one of my favorite dishes (but I've only ever had McDonald's chicken nuggets so that's not saying much). But tonight I got home and saw that my mom had taken chicken out for dinner. I didn't want whatever she was making so I made dinner for us. I cracked an egg into a bowl and put seasoned flour into a different dish. Sorry, I never measure or keep track of the spices I use, I just create food. So then I dipped the chicken that I had cut into "nugget-y" pieces into the egg and then into the flour and put them in the frying pan that was heavily oiled.
This is what I got:

Amateur/Mediocre Chef
Hello!
This is going to my first blog I've ever written.
I enjoy cooking a lot, and I enjoy trying to make people laugh. In this blog I'll try to combine those two. I also would like to say that this is not and spin-off of the book/movie "Julie and Julia". I'm expecting this blog to actually be interesting, and it's me making whatever I want to make! Not any cookbooks or anything.
I'll be trying to make appetizers, entrees, and desserts at least once a week, take pictures of them, then write about the experience of making and eating the food was.
There might be a little snippet in this blog about something that REALLY piques my interest (the 49ers making playoffs?), but I doubt that will be too often.
Hope you enjoy this blog as much as I plan on enjoying it!
