Learn to Cook Something that I’ve Never Cooked Before- (101 in 1001 List)

One of the things on my 101 things in 1001 days list was to Learn to Cook Something I’ve Never Cooked Before. When I created the list- I didn’t have anything in mind- but on May28th I ‘officially’ completed this item on my list when I made Lemon Curd for the first time ever. It was the filling for some Lemon Meringue Cupcakes that I was making to keep myself busy after losing my uncle and it also being the birthday of my aunt and best friend for years- We lost her suddenly in March of 2010, so it was a hard day and I needed to keep busy- cooking was my way to do that.

The Lemon Curd turned out great and so did the cupcakes. I’m now moving on to other curds- and will attempt Orange Curd in a few weeks, which will be the filling for some Orange Cream cupcakes that I’m hoping will taste as good as they sound. We’ll see about that.

Oooh, so That’s the Problem

I rarely print things these days- but yesterday I did want to print something and for some reason the printer did NOT want to cooperate. I played around with it for a while and finally realized that I needed to update the scanner software on my computer and wouldn’t you know it- once I did, it worked like a charm. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it in the first place. Probably because I was over-thinking the situation, as I tend to do from time-to-time. I still want a wireless printer- but I guess until ours really bites the dust – there’s no point.
