Two nights ago, I was surfing YouTube videos and looking for new ones to add to my list of favorites when I suddenly thought about cooking shows and how much I enjoy watching them. Now, I've not had cable TV in many years (because I'm a cheapskate and because I don't watch that much TV to begin with) and so I've ended up missing out on all of the cooking shows on the Food Network. So I realize that this -
Hang on, I can't concentrate. Those stupid election vans are driving by my apartment with their loud speakers. I don't know what they are saying (probably something like, "Please vote for (INSERT CANDIDATE NAME HERE)! Please. Please. Please. Thank you very much!!!!!!"), but I don't like it - it feels fascist. I'm sure it's not, but it feels that way, which makes me shudder a bit.
- discovery of mine will perhaps hold little interest for many (particularly those with cable), but I enjoy it, so up it goes on the blog. A bit (now that I think about it, it was probably more like a year) before I left the US and came to Japan, I bought Nigella Lawson's book "Feast." Yes, it was more than a year because I gave nearly an entire Guinness Cake to Jess (which she happily enjoyed) and that recipe was from that book. So back to two nights ago - I was surfing YouTube, thought about cooking shows, and then thought about Nigella Lawson - I knew by her pictures and her writing style that she was a very sensual type of cook and seemed like she enjoyed life a lot. I looked her up and found several wonderful videos of wonderful recipes that I cannot wait to try. I wanted to show you the recipe she had for bread and butter pudding, but for some reason the embedding of that video has not been enabled. So, I will post something else. I watched this video for making hot chocolate at about 2 am and after watching it, threw on my clothes and went to 7-11 to make my convenience store version of this recipe - it came out amazingly well for the quality of ingredients I was using. I substituted whiskey for rum, but the effect was fine. Here it is. Make this!

I LOVE NIGELLA LAWSON!! When you come home, you can come over and cook for me. Not that I can eat much of it, but I sure can enjoy the fact that someone else likes Nigella Lawson!! Can't wait for you to come back to Minne.
Wow that hot chocolate looks really good, I want some too!
Nigella Lawson's show airs on Dutch TV too, I really like her style and her ability to make anything sound and look absolutely delicious.
And thanks for leaving a message on my blog :).
