I'm Captain Cook

Oh helloo,

Who Am I: 
I am Tosakanth. I am 22. I am Sri Lankan. I am a girl. I am a boy. I am a tomboy.
I am lazy. I am meticulous. I am annoying. I am interesting.
I love music. I love food. I love cooking. I love photography. I love sports. I love dogs. I love cats.
I love collecting things. I love shot glasses. I love friendship bracelets. I love bar coasters. 
I love good company. I love things from a distance. I love people from a distance. I love whole-heartedly.
I am sceptical. I am scared. I am invisible. I am sensitive. I am careful. I am a realist. I am unique. I am  weird.
I am me. 

More fondly known as Tosakanth, I am a 22 year old tomboy who moved to Sydney for university from her island in the sun, Sri Lanka. I absolutely love music, music is my world. Photography is a new love of mine. I try to take arty farty pictures, but I'm not that great at it unfortunately. I used to play a lot of sports when i was in school, but haven't really had the opportunity since I moved to Sydney. I love collecting things, from friendship bracelets, shot glasses from cities I've visited, coasters from bars to even train tickets. My hobbies are important to me. I get attached to things quickly and can also detach from things quickly. Unfortunately things bore me very easily.  I get over protective over people and things that I care for. I fall in love with people that don't know I even exist, because I love from a distance and am too scared to make a move. I'm Weird. I am unique. I am me.

 

Background:

This is me. This is who I am. I have a love for food, a knack for it you could say so. I love looking up recipes and trying to re-create them and some with my own twist. Until the beginning of this year I've never had the opportunity to cook because I've never had my own kitchen. I moved to Sydney, February 2009 to do my bachelors degree in boring stuff and lived on campus at catered dorms. There was a strict 'no cooking, because you will burn the whole building down' policy. At home I never cooked because other people always provided food for me. Also cooking at home is such a song and a dance, because finding ingredients is a right royal pain. And I don't like my kitchen at home. It's too gloomy and 'urgh' that it never motivated me to cook. But now that I have finally moved out of college 3 years later and have to cook for my self to survive, I thought I'd give it a try and see how I am. Cooking is supposed to be in my blood. I'm a 3rd generation foodie I guess. My grand father was a baker, and my grand uncle was  a confectioner, my mother is also a baker, my aunt is a caterer and a self proclaimed food critique and general food wisdom sharer (even when it is not required). My sister is now a baker too. The rest of my aunts just like eating. The fact that food runs in our blood is pretty self explanatory by what the weighing scale reads. I knew it, obesity is hereditary!

My Style: 

I like cooking savoury stuff because I don't need to follow a recipe and I can add stuff that I want and create my own thing to taste. For now it's turned out pretty great every time I've tried my hand at cooking. Sweet stuff on the other hand are more difficult to vary with the recipes. Because you can't do most things to taste :( but I like making sweet stuff because people like to eat them and find them very appealing and appetizing. I agree they do look better, but savory is my thang. Cooking now gets my mojo going. If I were to ever woo someone, it'd be with my cooking and maybe my dry sense of humour, if they are into that kinda stuff, if you know what I mean, wink wink , nudge nudge. ah, just kidding. I'm not 'kinky' like that. sigh.

What This Blog Is About:

To be honest, I don't know that I'm going to be doing on this blog. I was thinking of making it a food blog. Stuff I cook, eat, interested in, etc.. but it might also have other random stuff. Who knows. I don't know. Take it as it comes I guess.


hope you enjoy my nonsense,

Tosakanth
