My favourite thing in the world…

…is cooking.

Everyone that knows me, knows I am a workaholic.  I’m always working.  I rarely sit down and watch TV or sports without my laptop.  Even when I don’t have my laptop, and am out for a walk or something, I’m always thinking about work.  I think that’s one reason I love cooking so much – because I really “get away” from it all, and lose myself in cooking.

I’m not a chef, nor do I pretend to be.  I don’t go through recipe books, and make Swordfish or anything like that.  I’m never a fan of change – I stick with what I like, and I perfect it, then I make it over and over again.

Today was a great day, because I decided to make my vegetarian chili.  This takes about 3-4 hours overall, and it also means I watch TV or movies while doing it.  Today was an even better day because I started to watch the Sopranos, and I fucking LOVE it and am hooked, and it’s rare that I really get into a TV show like this.  So yes, just a wonderful day all round.

Here are some pics of the vegetarian chili – I’ll type up the recipe another time – this is it cooking on the stove:

And inside that big mothafucking pot:

It may not look the greatest, but trust me it is absolutely fucking delicious, plus so good for you too.  And if you enjoy farting – oh boy, with all the beans in it, THIS is the meal for you.

While waiting for it to cook I decided to make my patented peanut butter chocolate chip cookies:

The big empty space in the middle is because I couldn’t resist eating them before taking the picture lulz.  So good.

Anyway, a nice relaxing, mentally refreshing day.  I need more days like this.
