Cooking
I love to watch cooking shows. Everyday at about 4 p.m. I turn the TV to Food Network. I love to watch people that love to cook do their jobs. I too love to cook. I like throwing something together just out of the blue and watch Jessie snarf it down and tell me it is amazing. It makes me feel good.
My mom is a great cook. She’s a down-home type of gal and her food is always comforting. I didn’t really learn to cook from her though because I was never allowed to help when I was little. When Jessie and I moved in together, at first, I made the boxed crap. That got old very fast, so I had my mom give me recipes for some of my favorite meals, and she kept telling me “I don’t know the measurements, I just throw it together.” That intrigued me so I started playing more. I made a lot of mistakes at first. I made soup that was way too salty, and spaghetti sauce that was so hot it was nearly inedible. But I learned. I’m at the point where I can go to a restaurant and have something and go home and make a pretty good replica.
Jessie is a freak for soups so I had to bone up on my soup skills pretty early on in our relationship. Now I can throw out soup recipes in my sleep. There is another cooking show that I wanted to point out that should be pretty familiar with a lot of people by now, but if not, you can thank me later. This guy is so funny and I love how innovative he is. You just need to see it to understand. So here you go…say “hi” to Louis.
I know you’ll love it….as long as you don’t take it too seriously.
