Bake-Off In 4 Days

Cooking Dummy is going to compete in the Bake-Off Contest on December 3. She still doesn’t know what to bake yet. She has to make a batch for at least 30 people. I don’t know how to help her. So far, she has only made salads. If you’ve any suggestions, please let her know! She’s going against three very talented bakers. Well, maybe only two. Remember Kevin from the Salad Competition? He has been experimenting with weird ingredients lately. Two weeks ago, he was attempting to make bacon chocolate chip muffins. He’s trying to outdo Cooking Dummy’s famous peanut butter-ham-tuna-honey bagel.

Good luck to Kevin and Cooking Dummy. The judge specifed no weird ingredients in their baked goods. How does one define “weird”? Do you think her bagel is weird?

P.S. Cooking Dummy ponders why bagels have holes in the middle?

This Song Is Insanely Infectious

When listening to the song the first time, you will cover your mouth and let out a few giggles. Ten minutes later, the song will grow on you. Don’t be surprised if the following occurs:

1) Hitting your head and screaming “Cooking Dummy! Your song is still stuck in my head!”

2) Singing to your boss, “Just give me two minutes!”

3) Saying to yourself, “I can do it, I can do it, you can do it too!”

4) Dying to use “Karina In The Kitchen” for your ring tone.

Awhile ago, Chi Ling, a friend of Cooking Dummy was having bubble tea with a friend who was looking for a new ring tone. He browsed her song list and said, “Karina In The Kitchen?”

She said, “Yeah. It’s Cooking Dummy’s theme song. There’s a full version and a 15 second one.”

He said, “Nice. Bluetooth the song to me!”

Cooking Dummy can’t wait until she buys a new cell phone. She’s using Siemens M55 which cannot download MP3 songs.

If you’re looking for a unique ring tone, download Karina In The Kitchen song. I understand you may feel a little embarrass to hear her rap, so why not download the shorter version instead?

When you’re in the spotlight, let your friends know about this blog!

Puma Video Competition

Guess what Cooking Dummy is up to? If you’re a PUMA lover like her, you probably know about the What Gets You Going campaign! “PUMA Fragrances is looking for creative video answers to the question: What gets you going.” The lucky winner will win a trip around the world worth $10,000 Euros.

Sarah, a.k.a. one of the creative geniuses is going to help Cooking Dummy work on a new video. I hear they plan to submit the video as soon as possible.

Any suggestions to the question: “What gets you going?”

Rambo Cooking Glove

On Friday, Cooking Dummy discovered two interesting things:
1) A cooking glove can make her extremely happy.
2) A cooking glove in this generation can be very cutting edge. 

Cooking Dummy received a birthday present from Vashti and Kyle. A cooking glove from Kitchen Stock! They’re probably worried she’ll get hurt in the kitchen.

With a silicone exterior, she doesn’t have to be afraid of the heat! The grid lines will keep pots and pans from slipping from her hand.

This present has brightened up Cooking Dummy’s day.  She has faith she’ll advance from making salads.  She’ll compete in the Bake-Off competition on December 3.  The prize? Bragging rights.  

P.S. There’s a “Recipes and Tips” section on Kitchen Stock’s website. Check out the Southeast Asian Vegetarian Salad. This recipe looks more complicated than the Asian Salad Cooking Dummy made.  If anyone tries this, please leave a note for Cooking Dummy. 

P.P.S. Kitchen Stock also believes in pineapples!

Fruit Cup A La Corn Part 2

Cooking Dummy would like to apologize for the delay in posting part two of Fruit Cup A La Corn. The Salad Competition kept her very busy for the past week. In response to Bambi, the birthday girl was a little shocked because people know she’s a cooking dummy! The name Cooking Dummy is not just a fictitious name.

Let’s recap what happened the night before Cooking Dummy made this special dish. She went to Dominion again. She was shocked to see zero Del Monte pineapple chunks! Cooking Dummy stood in awe on Sunday night.

And she was shocked that no one liked the pineapples. Cooking Dummy tried to find other pineapple lovers. She came across a couple of bloggers who love pineapples! Check out these pineapple flowers on Nami-Nami’s blog. Her “lovely carrot cake” looks amazing with the pineapple flowers. Another blogger, Sarah created the Pineapple and Orange Flower Water and Curried Pineapple Salad!

According to Cooking Dummy’s research, pineapples are good for our health!

Later that night, she had dinner at Felix’s house. She promised to make something again. Of course, the boys were overly enthused. Surprisingly, no one liked the pineapples and corn combination except for Jerry and Felix. Perhaps Asians have different taste buds?

After dinner, Felix surprised her with this lovely birthday cake!

Well Fruit Cup A La Corn seems better than the salad she made at Felix’s house. You know, the time she broke his salad spinner?

Cooking Dummy is indebted to You Figure It Out for submitting this detailed recipe! She finally had a chance to redeem herself after the last fiasco.
