the cook in me.

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...


you gotta love these surveys. apparently i'm a really good cook. Some of you don't know this but when i was in highschool, I actually wanted to be a world famous cook. I thought it would be such a neat job because you get to combine artistry with practicality. I love the idea of viewing cooking as an artform! But anyway, after a summer of washing dishes at Earls restaurant in Vancouver, I figured that I could still enjoy cooking and be a good cook, without working in a restaurant...

Nowadays i mostly cook for myself, and thats not always fun cos its boring to cook for one person. Although, recently i've been enjoying my cooking times. its been relaxing and therapeutic for me when i've needed a break from school. Crank up a little norah jones, or louis armstrong, or alison krauss and cook away. i cook in batches so its lasts a few meals at a time, and i just freeze stuff after.

Once a week a group of close friends here at school get together and hang out. its a wonderful time of relationship. We talk about our lives and pray for each other and other people. this week, its my turn to cook. I've got pasta and meatballs on the agenda - from scratch. woohoo!

Hey Son,

Keep up the good work. You know you will not starve when you can cook. You may become a gourmet cook someday with time and practise.

Take care and "eng joy".

Dad.

yeah, i remember those days when you used to make me killer lunches...both for school and at home! you always had the creative art to deviate from the recipe and try something new, but in a good way, unlike some other people we know :P lol, "no baking powder? i'll just use baking soda"....

no no NO!

Okay, I took the little cooking quiz too.

Learning Cook - "You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one. But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice."

Yeah, sounds like me.
