What food is my specialty? The daily prompt doesn’t show up again. Not sure whats wrong with it, hopefully it’s fixed soon.

Anyway this prompt will be fairly short since I’m not really interested in cooking, I’m more interested in the eating part ha. If I had to pick I say that when I make biscuits (cookies for my American readers) they tend to turn out really well and tasty.

But I don’t really bake much, so no one close to me is getting them anytime soon. There were certain things I’ve liked making even if they’re really really simple, was these bananas dipped fully in chocolate then frozen, they were very nice snacks!

But once again I haven’t made them in a while. I tend to just shove things in the oven and that’s my version of “cooking”

Sometimes I catch an interest in cooking usually after watching a cooking show then I get this spark of inspiration to try and become a good cook.

That motivation just dies after realising I have no clue what to cook and if I do find something I’m interested in making, I don’t have the ingredients I need and would need to go out and buy the specific ingredients for this one meal.

…Mmmmm

Then I go “Na” And just get something I can just shove in the oven and my inspiration and motivation from watching that cooking show has now vanished.

I suppose I’ve done pastas plenty of times but its nothing fancy or skilled, shoving pasta in a pan of boiling water for a certain amount of time, then adding sauce (that I do not make myself) with cheese on top, is pretty simple but it’s not something that my family or I love, its just normal pasta, I mean its nice but I wouldn’t call it a specialty.

Mostly things I eat are either something I don’t need to cook, normal pasta or I just shove it in the oven, so I feel like I can’t really say I have a speciality since I don’t really count just that as cooking since your oven is doing all the work.

If I had to pick, then I think my biscuits, I’ve made in the past have been pretty good and people have actually told me they like them a lot but its not something I do often, like at all, so I feel like thats cheating to call that my speciality?

Even that doesn’t feel right because while I’ve enjoyed eating my biscuits, making them just didn’t bring out enjoyment for me and I had to keep telling myself, baking them is worth it, they’ll taste really good! Which it did thankfully.

But I confess I haven’t actually made biscuits just because I wanted too, no actually I take that back, I think I’ve done it once, very randomly as a teenager, I don’t even know what my teenager self was thinking, it was a spur of the moment thing.

All other times I’ve made biscuits were because of something like a course where I needed to raise money in a fundraiser so I made them to sell, my parents birthdays, someone else’s birthday or I was told at some point and some sort of event “you need to bring something you made yourself” and tada hey, look I can bake biscuits!

Then they’re promptly forgotten about again.

I think my mum did get excited at one point because within a week I was somehow roped into making biscuits at these two different events and my mum started to talk to me about some different recipes I could try, so I reminded her that they sounded great but unfortently this was not going to become a regular thing I did on my own, without a reason.

I know I said this would be short but er….yeah I did not realise I had so much to say about this, it seems I had more thoughts on this than I realise, mainly me confessing how I’m a bad a cook and baker, hehe, oops.
