Bay scallop spaghetti. One of my favorite recipes. Used fresh Italian Parsley from the herb garden.

Made a T-bone steak for dad and I. Used german thyme and rosemary. Butter basted. Grilling wasn't an option unfortunately. Forgot the Garlic whoops.

My pizza may be misshapen but it still tasted damn good.

Got a pork belly from the Asian market and the skin was still attached. I didn't need the skin in the recipe and i didn't want to throw it away so i made pork rinds!

Today i will cook my first live lobster.

I'm kinda iffy on the whole idea. I've read so many articles and there's a lot of conflicting information. Dispute on whether or not lobsters feel pain ECT. I don't like the idea of causing a living thing pain but after lots of thinking i decided upon a method. Im going to cause the creature to hibernate by putting it in ice water and then im going to kill it with a knife. Hopefully this way it wont feel any pain if im not clean with my cut.

@Me realizing 1 cup of basmati was enough for 5 burritos (shown in picture is 2 cups)
