Day Three Hundred and Forty:  The Food Network

A lovely thing about being home has been the food network.  While finishing an assignment today I listened to my father watching Gordon Ramsey’s Christmas meal guide, and it was hilarious and so wonderful, man, I want to be able to cook properly and make meals that aren’t just throw tofu in a pan with mushrooms and put on rice that was made in the microwave.  I think that’s the one thing I got right from being a student, the eating thing, I am surely eating like a student.  But when I have the time and money I plan on learning how to make delicious things, and then eating them all up.

I love watching breakfast guides, fancy French toast or omelettes, breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and it would only make it that much better if I knew how to make it fancy on my own.  My dad likes to make nice breakfasts when I am home which is lucky for me, we usually drink baileys and coffee and then watch football in our pajama’s all morning.  This usually only happens on weekend days.

But then there are the meals we prepare as a family.  The lasagna we made this summer, or the thanksgiving dinner I helped peal EVERY potato for, or the recipes that we create together.  These are memories that I am thankful to have, not only because they are and taste awesome, but because it helps me learn how to make my own food, and that is always a skill everyone can work on.

So, with one week left of not having cable and paying for my own food, not only do I look forward to the seasonal happenings that come along with post-exams December, but the television that I will be enjoying when I get home too.
