success!!

so about once every year i decide that i will cook. this is usually a bad idea. i know this before i start. it takes about 8 times as long as it should and creates about 14 times the mess it should. for a final result that may or may not be edible.

so last week, while watching the food network, i decided that i would make a butternut squash lasagna with a basil bechamel sauce. and today i did. nevermind the fact that i went to three grocery stores and could not find fresh basil. AND IT WAS A SUCCESS! i made a butternut squash puree and a basil bechamel and both were tasty! and then i put them in a 13"x9" pan with cheese and pasta (hard to screw up) AND IT WAS STILL TASTY! and i actually didn't make too much of a disaster in the kitchen. there were some mini-disasters, but the success has already gone to my head and i've forgotten about them. most amazingly, i still have 10 fingers after having cut up butternut squash and de-rinded it. unfortunately i have done this while everyone is out of town and now i have all of this food and i do not know if i can eat it.

BUT I AM AMAZING! I AM A MARVEL IN THE KITCHEN! MY COOKING SKILLS ARE UNPARALLELLED! HURRAH FOR ME!!
