Yes that’s right, I have married myself a magician. I consider myself a semi-creative person, but in one area where I lack complete creativity and/or know-how, she makes up for it and then some (perhaps you should multiply it by a thousand). I can make a decent breakfast, but it’s because I’ve been doing it for so long and I love breakfast. I tend to make the same things, regardless of whether they taste awesome or not. I cannot think outside of the box (literally!) in the kitchen. Give me a recipe, and I will follow it to the tee.
My wonderful kitchen magician, on the other hand, is constantly thinking of new things, is always adding to old things, and almost never follows a recipe to the tee. What comes out is always better than what the recipe called for in the first place!
The perfect example, and the inspiration for today’s short post, is this cookie that I’m eating. I had resigned myself to the fact that for the next month, in order to eat some delicious baked goods I’d have to spend a small fortune, or perhaps start cutting off arms and legs, to finance my sweets addiction. The all-powerful culinary wizard had other ideas. The result is melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookies that are 100% allowed in the diet. Now the only downside is that I eat them too fast!!! Who would have thought that so many restrictions could still taste so good???
