My First Day of cooking at 11

Dear Reader,
Hello and welcome to my blog. I am in love with the movie Julie And Julia so I have decided to make my own blog about cooking. My first entry is about beignets or french doughnuts. I had bought the mix for it at a little coffee stand in New Orleans. I made them this morning for my brother and they tasted amazing. Wait, is it OK for a cook to compliment her own food? Well, I am doing it anyways. It was fluffy and crunchy and ohhhhhh I wanted to make more! For dinner I am creating a gourmet treat! I hope nothing goes wrong!

  2. It is absolutely ok to compliment your own culinary creations. In fact, I'm an advocate for celebrating yourself all the live-long day! And coming from someone who never learned how to cook (if it weren't for my husband, I'd be eating salads and cold cereal for every meal), I truly admire your abilities.

    Keep on cookin'!

  3. Please tell us about the delicious looking item you are holding in the photo. Stuffed artichoke, perhaps? How did you make it?
    Thank you!

  11. I love beignets! I went to New Orleans two years ago and bought that same mix but never made it...but now you have inspired me. By the way, I am a writer and a cook but I am so impressed you have put the two together and made a blog. Can't wait to see what's next.

  13. I love to see young people cooking. Keep at it! I have so far avoided "Julie and Julia" because I didn't want to pay money to see old people my age smooching. Maybe on your recommendation I will give it a try.
