my first meal

since i bought alot of stuff last week that i didnt eat, most of the vegetables are starting to get so soft and mushy so i decided to cook them ASAP .. thing is, i didnt buy any meat/fish to cook them with so whatever im going to do with them, it should be totally vegetarian and the only thing i could think of is soup ... so i made 2 soups, asparagus and butternut squash .. now the asparagus soup looked like a total failure .. you know, ive always been excited about using broth in cooking and when i finally did, i realized it tastes aweful, atleast the veg broth did but i managed to arg3d elwath3 a bit and the asparagus soup turned out to be fine. now the butternut squash aka pumpkin was SO DAMN TRICKY .. i mean, i needed to peel and cube it and it took me like 10 min just to cut it into half !!! then i cut that half into two parts and it took me 45min to peel one of these halves !! IMAGINE!! 45MIN !!! 7aseet elsalfa feeha ena !!! there is no way that everyone struggle with it like i did .. i was so in doubt that i thought that this could be something else and not pumpkin :s.. anyway i googled it and yeah i was right, IT IS HARD TO PEEL IT and alot of ppl do struggle but there are tricks to tackle it .. like heating it up then peeling it with potato peeler or heating it up till the skin is soft enough to be skinned off !! and when i did that, wow things went so smoothly .. damn.. i wish i had googled it earlier ! and this soup had cream cheese with it .. and also it tasted really fine .. too bad that im not hungry .. so the original plan was to FREEZE them and heat em whenever i felt like having soup but freezing a soup doesnt sound right so im just gonna put them in the fridge and then google it tomorrow.. im just happy that i learnt a new thing today :P, how peel a butternut squash :P you know whats the best part about having your own apartment ..walking clotheless and having mail .. walla wanasa.. i strip off the moment i enter the apartment, it feels so liberating :P .. and having your own mail box is also fun, it feels so exciting to open up that box and find mail even when its only bills lol damn its almost 1 am and im going to start working in a day or two ! i so need to fix mys sleep :(
