As I mentioned in the previous post I have been doing some cooking lately. We had our friends over for dinner this past week as a "Thank You" for helping us to move. I made homemade lasagna and raspberry brownies. My mom gave me her recipes for the lasagna and I spent quite some time at the supermarket trying to decide exactly what to get. The cheeses here are a little different so I did some experimenting with the recipe. The lasagna noodles were also very interesting. They were "no cook" noodles and they looked like paper. I was a little hesitant, but this all I could find. Ray and I pondered as it was cooking if it would taste any good....and they did! I had never seen these before but apparently they are pretty common. The brownies were something I saw on My Kitchen Rules, an Australian competitive cooking show. It was so much fun! The kitchen is a little small so I had to compromise and clean up while cooking. It was not as much fun without all the mess! I didn't feel like a real cook!
We also purchased a picture from them as the apartment was bare and not welcoming. We are starting to hang things which makes it look much better. Melody took this picture here in NZ! We love our new piece of art!
I will try and continue to post about my adventures in the kitchen! Until then I hope that my journey will inspire you to try new things!
Good o!
Lindsey
