Kyle's Corner of Cooking!

Today, ladies and gentlemen, I tried my hand at serious cooking. I'd like to preface this by saying that I haven't ever cooked much, or been into cooking in the past; I'd make some stir fry here, some frozen fish there, nothing especially major or interesting. Today, however, I decided I'd try something new; Today, I made Butternut Squash soup. And it. Was. Awesome! I started out by following this beautiful recipe, which took me a good... I don't know, hour or so, to complete. From there, I chopped up a miscellaneous hot pepper, which I have yet to identify, much to my chagrin. I let that simmer for like, ten minutes, all the while adding a couple pinches of salt, as well as a dash of pepper. The result, I must say, was absolutely Feicking delicious. I put my beautiful concoction in a bowl, added sour cream and a bit of the aforementioned hot pepper to garnish, and what resulted was this.

It's... It's beautiful...

And it tasted delicious, too! The fattiness of the sour cream balanced out the spiciness to a more than tolerable level, and the creamy texture of the soup mixed with the inherent twinge of saltiness in the sour cream to create an absolutely gorgeous mixture of flavour and feeling. I have quite honestly, fallen in love with the culinary arts, and I'm sure I will dabble in them again in the future. And with that, good readers, I must bid you adieu! I have things to do, and ponies to watch.
