Clicking Away in the Kitchen

After dropping a very cool Google Calendar circa last week, the kids at Google Inc. have dropped what could easily one of the coolest resources atop a lot of bachelor checklists.

I will call it Google Kitchen. The Ultimate listing of all sorts of recipes, from Grilled Swordfish With Cucumber Lime Salsa(though that one is reaching my kitchen NOTHING!) to exotically cooler sounding ones like Braised Chicken Teriyaki…adventurous ones like Drunken Chicken, not to mention the pant-dropping Asian Hot Pot With Chicken And Sweet-And-Spicy Dipping Sauce!

After a polite relocation earlier in the year (c’mon, I have to pin my blogsenteeism on something!), the need to sharpen the cooking skills has become a necessity. Heck! They have become an implement that Darwin would look at and rub his hands in glee as sufficient proof of his Theory of Natural Selection. Only the Strong Survive. Survival for the Fittest. (Did I just go all sciency and geeky on you? Wacha I stop right thurr!)

Why you ask? Obvious answers to obvious questions:

Home cooking is cheaper

Home cooking is healthier (guffaw! I laughed my way into typing that one!)

Don’t want no random dude in a kebab shop touching my dish with his bare hands (shuku mikono hujui zimetoka wapi - Mashifta)

You get to learn something new each time you cook

Bloody tamu feeling when you cook something tasty and right

And the ladies diggg a brotha who can cook (this one is more motivational and honestly belongs to the top of this list…would compare this to a chunky mama would look at a poster of Halle Berry ama even Beyoncé endlessly, cursing under her breath as she works out in the gym...just to be able to fikia the same jeans size…)
These recipes will saidia with all the ideas and versatility they bring. Lakini the truth is this wont magically make me a gourmet chef (though I hope Google are working on something to fix that), but I could do with the practice and the ideas.

Too bad there is no nyam chom recipe. Actually, you don’t need one. The shida here is actually finding a goat and sorting it out without the authorities making a meal out of it (couldn’t resist that one!)

Karibuni a polite lunch, dinner, breakfast whenever.
