My resolution, again, for 2010 is to learn how to cook. After a slight delay involving not owning a measuring cup, I finally put on my chef's hat tonight and cooked "Farfalle With Gorgonzola, Arugula and Cherry Tomatoes," a featured recipe by Mark Bittman of the New York Times. Thanks to Mun for recommending this recipe. Needless to say, tonight was also the first time I've pronounced the words "Farfalle," "Gorgonzola," and even, "Arugula," so I have to thank Mun again for her help over the phone when I was attempting to track down these ingredients at the grocery store.

So, how did it turn out?

The recipe. Note how I underlined farfalle because I didn't know what it was, and I wrote "measuring cup" as a reminder to pick one up at the grocery store.

The end result. It may not look very tasty or fancy, and I may or may not have dropped some stuff during the (frenzied) process, but in the end I dominated this recipe. It was so yummy.

I finished off dinner with dessert, which was a bowl of refreshing and healthy homemade apple sauce. Okay, maybe it was homemade in a factory somewhere, then packaged in a glass container and sold in a store near my apartment...

Stay tuned for future episodes of Cooking in 2010. Feel free to send along delectable yet "EZ" recipes for me to try.
