Boom boom boom

The domestic goddess inside of me must have blossomed over the past week or so, as I have been cooking more than usual. Well I did make the beef stew, or attempt-ly "Beef Bourguignon". And then I made Hot & Sour Peking soup, and today I made Meatloaf! As I have been pretty free, I will search on recipes randomly decided by my stomach.
I had a productive day today, practicing my womanhood in the kitchen and also working on this big ass DIY canvas frame, I finally got it done! This is a 5 ft by 2 request, and this giant will be quite exciting.

Also, I learn today that you CAN use too much of garlic & onion. The fragrance and taste of my meatloaf was overwhelmed by the amount of onions I used. This is also because they were mixed raw and not sauteed. However, dad thought it was delicious. I'm starting to think that maybe.. he's just so happy that his daughter is cooking. Hmm. My beef stew turned out okay, I thought the red wine I used had a bitter aftertaste, but again, my dad thought it was delicious. He is getting suspicious. I enjoyed my Hot & Sour soup very much, even more so the next day when I added rice wine. For the meatloaf, I've never eaten one before so I havent got an idea on how it's supposed to taste. But my dad thought it was delicious! I'm going to need a new critic.
What I put in my meatloaf: grounded beef, sauteed beef bacon, zucchinis, mushrooms, potatoes, onions & garlic, fresh parsley, wholemeal bread, eggs, skimmed milk, Worcestershire sauce, and salt & pepper.  


I'd love to share the recipes, but I'd also like to hear from you and keep you reading (if there is anyone of you out there). So, just ask me! I'll tell you what not to do ;)
What continent should I cook next?
