All things considered, I'm not such a fan of cooking in general. I like the outcome but the practice in general, I have to be in the mood for. That particular mood definitely did not strike after a long day, which is never a good indication of how the evening will go.
For some unknown reason, I volunteered to make salsa and taco dip for the Diez de Mayo party at work tomorrow. And since I've stupidly proven myself handy as a baker, I was told to bring a baked good as well. So off to the store I went, well, actually, two times off to the store I went. See what I mean? Nothing in this little tale is foreshadowing a productive evening.
But, even when things appear bleak, they turn out not so bleak. The salsa, which I thought for sure I'd missed an ingredient of, turned out perfect. The taco dip which I was convinced I'd spend hours cutting and chopping and never having something to place it in safely, was done within minutes and fit perfectly in a container I'd forgotten I had (which even had a lid!) And the mini coconut pies which were cobbled together from a recipe I love, that I thought would cause all kinds of pain and suffering, baked up perfectly and are quite delicious even if I do say so myself. When all was said and done, I even had time to watch the last episode of a series I was dying to see. All in all it was quite a productive evening.
However, I'm sure getting all of these dishes to work tomorrow, in one piece while not breaking anything may be an entirely different story...
