AH! I'm so horrible about updating...

It's not that I haven't been cooking since my last post...I've just not been as diligent about documenting my cooking adventures. =) In the meantime, to break this post-lag I've fallen into, I decided to make a post about new recipes I've recently come across and want to try.

At the top of my list is the Middle Eastern Cumin Meatballs recipe posted here (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Middle-Eastern-Cumin-Meatballs/Detail.aspx).

A friend of a flatmate had been staying over for a few weeks and one day, while she was cooking, the most delicious scent of cumin wafted down the corridor. I walked into the kitchen and she was cooking something very similar to this. And ever since, I've wanted to make this. So I will. One day. Hopefully, somewhere in the very near future. I promise if I make this that I will document it, whether it be successful or an utterly epic failure.

Another recipe I've wanted to try is this Mexican Rice Recipe found here (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mexican-Rice-II/Detail.aspx).

I've never been able to make Mexican rice like they do in restaurants and take aways. The boxed rice packages always result (at least for me) in a wetter and saltier product. I hope this recipe is the key to allowing me to replicate the dry, fluffy Mexican rice I thoroughly enjoy consuming with a side of black beans.

The next link I have is to the blog of a cook I hold in high regards. She has a million recipes on her blog, some created, some modified, and some simply attempted by her. Here's the link: http://maresfoodandfun.blogspot.com/

That's all for now. I'll post again soon...I hope! =)
