Cooking In The Army

I finally found out what cooking in the Army was all about. The most important thing to remember about cooking, is reading the recipe, always be careful when reading the recipe and make sure all of your measurements are correct and very accurate. I got to make quite a bit of food so far, from meatloaf, to baked chicken, fried chicken, baked fish, omelets, muffins, biscuits, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, pies on monday, and for our bakeoff we have to make a pinneaple upside down cake and peanut butter cookies, im excited for it. After we get done with baking we do small quantity cooking like making breakfast and setting up a salad bar and a fruit bar for the rest of the people in the building if they want to eat. Days are going by fast, classes start at 0830, lunch is at 1200, class until 1700 than personal time for the rest of the day.

Sounds like we might be adding a few extra pounds when you come home. You do need to practice. We might have to invite all of our friends though. I'm sure you wouldn't mind. I'm excited about the pies. Can't wait to see you.

I Love you,

Mom

Following the recipe is never a bad idea! It's interesting to see this experience through your eyes.

It looks like this is a great way to keep up with your family and friends..it made me smile when I saw the reply from your mom.

You seem to be doing great!
