I've been on a cooking kick for some reason. Not quite sure why or what is going on, but I'm enjoying it.
When I was over at Nigel's this week-end I made spring rolls and more onigiri with pork filling and that was alright. It wasn't great. I need to learn how to make the spring rolls better. First of all they needed sauce, and I think they also needed some spices that I didn't have on hand. I'll research it a bit more.
Nigel (who I'm dating now by the way), kept on insisting that we deep fry the spring rolls, and I kept on getting very upset about his suggestion. Spring rolls are supposed to be uncooked!
Now had I said I was making egg rolls that would have been different, but the filling would have been different as well as it would have been cooked before being rolled in the rice paper. I get so OCD about certain things.
I made crepes for sunday brunch for us, and they were pretty good. I think I was missing a bit of vanilla and orange flavor in it, but all in all they were yummy.

I thought I was done, but now I'm home and still cooking.
I made more crepes today for my breakfast and the recipe I used this time I did not like as much. I don't know if it's because I only let the batter rest for an hour instead of over night, but they were a lot more crispy than the ones I made on sunday.
Crepes are good when they are crispy on the very edges, but there is a very fine line to deal with before they become simply too crispy and can't be really considered crepes anymore.
Today's crepes are still good, but I'll see if adding a little more butter next time might help make them softer.

Then I made more onigiri balls, those things are so handy, and while they take a little bit of time to make, once I make a batch I have food for two days, just waiting for me. This time I filled them with chicken pieces seasoned with garlic salt. I found out that garlic salt goes very well with onigiri. Those were really yummy.

I've also bought stuff to make lentil soup, which I'm probably going to make on friday morning or something like that. Or maybe I'll wait until next week after my roomie's mom has left so I don't make a huge mess. Her mom is coming to visit for mother's day.

In other news I am completely done with school for this semester which is great.
In other not so great news. I'm flat broke and owe my school money, and I'm not quite sure how to go about paying it. I'm thinking about trying to get a loan, but so far no bank likes me enough to give me any money...
We'll see.
