Mama's in the kitchen with onions - 2

And now it's time for a few more cooking tips from the Native Minnow.

Bean and cheese burritos are nowhere near as good when you don't include the cheese.

Keep that in mind the next time you're "cooking."

You're welcome!

Boy that Mama can cook

I'm one of the best procrastinators in the world. I've got the biggest day of my graduate student career (so far) coming up a week from tomorrow. I should be spending every waking moment reading journal articles and such.

Instead, I decided to bake a zucchini cake.

The recipe called for one half cup of sour milk. Since the milk in my refrigerator is fresh, I had to call my mom to see what to do. The last time I made this cake I had to do the same thing. I remembered her trick of adding vinegar to the milk, but couldn't remember how much vinegar to put in. Luckily she was home so I could finish the cake.

We talked for a while as I was mixing stuff together, and then I got to the point where I had to grate the zucchini, but I couldn't find my grater.

Me: "I hate it when the . . ."
Mom: "What's that?"
Me: "Oh, I was going to say something, but you probably don't want to hear it."
Mom: "What?"
Me: "I was going to say that I hate it when the maid service comes because they always put stuff away in the wrong place and I can never find it."

I don't think my Mom felt too sorry for me.

Since I changed my diet in order to lower my cholesterol (successfully I might add) I have learned a few things. Being the kind and generous man that I am, I will now pass on one of these little tidbits to you.

Vanilla flavored soy milk is good with cookies, cereal, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and oatmeal.

It is not, however, good with cream of tomato soup.

You're welcome!
