Hello everyone! If you all pay attention to what I write (almost) every single week, I wrote of what I did during the summer (which includes baking and doing nothing, spoiler alert). I’m constantly adding more things (like regular people) to my list that I keep doing, and rarely am discovering more about myself.
And today, I’ll be telling you all about that! I have learned one good thing about myself this summer (and maybe this year).
I MAKE GOOD MAC N CHEESE!
Yes, that’s what I wanted to say. You were expecting something bigger, weren’t you? Like that I learned how to make a cool new thingamabob that could change the world forever, but hey! It’s a good start!
How I learned about this was a bit of a decision I decided to make. I thought that I was going to make food for myself and my sister, so that I could know what it is like to cook by myself. The last time my mom made mac and cheese was unsuccessful, as the sauce wasn’t creamy as it was supposed to be.
I found out that you are supposed to make a roux (which is like a substance that includes flour and fats like butter) to make the sauce creamy. I did so, and the macaroni and cheese was a success! I needed to add a little less milk next time, but it was okay!
The next batch of cheesy goodness was less of a success, but I don’t really remember what happened there so we’re skipping that now (we ain’t coming back to it) and the last one…
Let’s just say that it was a bit too salty…
And now I’m here, telling you all about the experience, I have not made any new batches of pasta yet, but I’m excited if I get the chance to do so again! Learning more about yourself can obviously make your mindset better!
See you later!
