So you know that thing you've been dreading for years? That you've been avoiding because it just freaks you out? Then one day you decide "fuck it, I'm gonna do this!" and it turns out to be not that bad at all?
I just cooked my first meal using raw meat. This might not seem like much of an accomplishment, but for as long as I can remember this has scared the crap out of me. Until recently I didn't even want to look at the stuff. It was a combination of ick factor with pretty intense germophobia. Now, however, I am enjoying the last of my tasty stirfry of chicken, carrots, snow peas and pineapple in pineapple ginger sauce. I cooked and ate the first of it last night and I've yet to get food poisoning! (Of course, if I wind up doing so I will have to amend this entry pretty quick).
I still can't touch the stuff, had to get it precut and dump it right from the bag into the wok, but this has opened up all sorts of new cooking possibilities for me! That and the satisfaction of having one less thing that being worried or paranoid keeps me from doing.
Yay for a taking a little bit more control of my life! And yay for yummy stirfry!
