Bad Cooking & Good Cooking
Okay just after I blogged off, I started cooking ground beef, mixed it all up with potatoes, salt, pepper an' lots and lots of Mexican Seasoning. The taste came out good, but it did left a bad feeling in my tummy.(As the comments of my brothers they vomited after...I didn't....I wonder why...)

After a little music surfing, keyboard practice, Pokemon, Yugi-Oh and reading the manga Dark Angel and a couple of doodles on my sketchpad I started finding what to cook. There was a couple of handful of ground beef left..which made me think the other way and just cook instant chicken ramen soup...Anyways I browsed on my new Japanese Cook Book and found the reciped of Chicken Grilled Yakitomi which I replaced the chicken with ground beef,mixed with egg, flour, a little cornstarch and made ball shapes and boiled them in water with the liquid from cuished ginger. After removing them from boil in 10-15 mins, I let them sit ina bowl for a while. Then I made a sauce...now then since I did not know some of the terms in the cookbook, I improvised by mixing rice vinegar(the one used in sushi :3 ) soy sauce, a little ketchup and about 3-4 tablespoons of sugar. I placed em in a flat pan and mixed em there. in a small cup I mixed some water and cornstarch and mixed it together with the bubbling contents of my concoction until they became thick. Then I placed the meatballs there, flipping them after every minute so that they get to be smothered by the sauce. after that I got em off and put em in a plate. I left the remaining sauce to sizzle while I chopped up those baby onion with long green stems and placed em there and added extra water(they became too thick after long time in pan) made them sizzle and bubble too and put them on top of the meatballs that are already in the plate. After eating them with rice, I'd say they are veery good!!! Just lessen the sugar I placed, I was just guessing and waiting while trickling the sugar on the stuff.

Okay so we have good cooking and bad cooking!!! I learned that we have to be careful with seasonings the next time..don't over do it, just the same lesson with the sugar.
