Readers,
I'm afraid I may not be a Yaghooti any more. Is that something that somehow rubs off? I seem to have lost a key component if Yaghootiness. I don't know where it went; in fact, it could be even worse. I may have never had it in the first place.
I can't steam rice. Basmati, Texmati, nothing.These rices are not supposed to be sticky sushi rice. Maybe the cooking gods are trying to tell me to branch out into sushi. I highly doubt that though. Highly.
The oven doesn't seem to hate me anymore though. Several times now I've successfully placed uncooked food in there, turned it, on and removed cooked food that I could eat. It was amazing.
Today I bought hoisin sauce. I had no idea what it would look like, what package it would come in, or whether or not it should be refrigerated. It turns out it's a little bit white, jarred and chilled. (Readers, in case this isn't true, I've bought the wrong item. Please let me know. I'm using it Wednesday night.)
There are still so many areas to cover. For example, the textbook (America's Test Kitchen) diagrams all the different cuts of beef and I'm starting to get the feeling that there is a correlation between the cut of beef and the intended result. This is merely a theory though. I'll check back with you if it proves to be true.
Joanna
