SED 2: Cooking

[lightofdaye]

The folks went to a dance tonight, that has food. So I was left to make my own tea. This means SED day 2 is devoted to my complete lack of culinary skills. Like thinking about how much ingredients will be needed before cooking. Or managing multiple hobbs/ the grill at once. Or not switched the bottom oven on as well as the top and roasting a couple of empty oven trays.

I was attempting welsh rabbit. Which is like fancy cheese on toast. melted butter, cornflower, bit of milk lots of cheese. Simply right? I have no figured the nack of adding flour to melted butter and it not ending up lumpy.

still that much cheese makes anything edible in my opinion.

Any cooking stories f-list? Greatest successes? Silliest failures?

The key to making sure your cheese sauce isn't lumpy is a whisk. You basically have to constantly whisk the entire time you add the milk while you're forming the roux, else it winds up lumpy. I've never made it, but I've been wanting to try this recipe for Welsh rabbit.

Oh gosh. If I try to start thinking of all my cooking stories, I'll never stop typing. I love cooking, and sharing recipes!

Thanks for the advice. :) I asked my mum when she got back in it and sound like at least part of my problem was not taking it off the head when adding flour/milk.

Well, there's material for your SED then! :D
