Spaghetti and Meat sauce

To create meat sauce, you need to start with the meat. I prefer ground beef, but chicken isn't bad either. You put the ground beef in a skillet, and cook it with white onion. I personally prefer white onion for frying over the other onions because it crisps better. When there is no more pink in the pan from the meat you can start adding your other ingredients. I diced up sweet peppers, this adds a little bit of texture and colour to the sauce. I sautéed up some garlic as well to add flavour. I also added tomato sauce and tomatoes. I added some seasoning to the sauce such as, salt, pepper, and a little bit of oregano which adds a little bit of sweet to the sauce.

I then went on to make the spaghetti, this is a very simple process that few can mess up. You wait until the water is boiling and then you add salt to the water. The reason for doing so is it tastes better, and the noodles wont stick to each other. After that you add the noodles to the boiling water.You need to stir the spaghetti a lot to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom or to each other. The noodles are ready, when you taste them and you get it to the texture you like. I Then pored the noodles into a strainer, and washed them to get the starch off. I then put the noodles back in the pot, and then you are ready to eat.

Salmon and potato wedges

Well i did my first attempt on making a dinner since i made this blog. I made salmon and potato wedges. The potato wedges were fairly simple. I peeled them with a potato peeler, cut them into wedges, oiled the potatoes with a brush, and seasoned them with montreal steak spice. I then put them in the oven on 400, the time they stay in depends on how thick the pieces are and how crispy u want them. Salmon is pretty easy, i put it in a pan, seasoned it, and put it in the oven. You know the salmon is done when the white fat is seeping to the top of the salmon. Now I did mess up a little. I didn't add enough oil to the potatoes so a lot of them stuck to the tin foil. Besides that minor set back all the food tasted great.

Taste test 1

Well i had a friend come and help me out, and taste my food. So i made breakfast again. I made scrambled eggs, hash-browns, and sausage. I tried making every thing i made last time except the waffles. I added extra cheese to the scrambled eggs which i think tasted better, i also added more oil to the hash-browns and cooked them longer which added a delightful crunch. My friend said all of it was super good, and he liked the extra crispy hash-browns.

So i think i got breakfast down, and i am going to move on to other foods.
