#first time cooking

[thestudentfarmer]

So Ive been wanting to try making kimchi for while, because I hear it's good for gut health and I know its a tasty way to preserve food.

But since cabbages didn't work out as hoped for this year I'm going to try my hand at a cucumber kimchi since they've done well.

I haven't taken many pics but since it's warmed up we've been getting around 5-10 cukes about this size weekly and Sis picks and eats about 4 a week seperately.

We have seen a few with what look some water cracking issues, but it's over day 50 of 100+*f, so sort of expected.

Since switching to the trellis off ground, there is also far less being eaten by the rolypolies. Yay! But I am concerned about the carrots further up 😅

Anyways, I made some cucumber kimchi with some of the extra cucumbers about 2 weeks ago and have been tasting A bit each day after the suggested 2 day wait.

I can confidently say i added way to much onion into this first batch 😭

Otherwise. It's pretty tasty. I will be making again :) with far less onion though. 😂 i just didn't wanna waste half a regualr onion that wouldn't get used otherwise for a bit (I will be freezing the following ones for quick cooking later).

I added ribboned carrots too, since we had a few to use and various recipes add them.

Recipes I looked to for assistance and found helpful...

Mi hermana es una chef, food was surprisingly good considering the lack of ingredients we had, she had to guesstimate certain amounts

First and second time I did Cupcakes!

So,this last Monday,I decided that I wanted to bake. Mind you, I never got around to cooking or baking,and my parents didn’t trust me around the kitchen.

However,I bought everything I needed and on Tuesday me and my little sister started to do it. I was around the first steps when MY DAD comes in the kitchen. He insisted that I was doing the steps on the wrong way and then he preceded to mess with the recipe and I couldn’t say anything because he “knew how to bake”.

Flash forwards 1 hour and the cupcakes are horrible looking, tasting like too much sugar and it was just bad. My dad only said that I HAD SCREWED THE RECIPE BECAUSE I DIDNT KNEW HOW TO BAKE.

I told him I was doing another try at baking when he was away working. So I did it again, all by myself,trusting the recipe and it only took me 30 minutes (with my dad it took a hour and a half) and GUYS LOOK HOW IT WENT:

Honestly, I’m gonna start baking more and I will get super good.

I’m sorry if this is not the perfect post but I just felt SO PROUD and I think that Tumblr is the only place where I will find people to be excited over this with me!!!!

So I'm cooking alone for the first time

And I just dropped butternut squash all over the floor. Because I used a blender to puree it. I haven't used a blender in over a year. Who knew that the glass part was separate from the cover of the base part? I sure didn't. Squash is now all over the floor so that's fun.

First time cooking, rate these fries on a 1-10 scale. Also I burnt the spatula.
