i love food.
and i mean i love food.
food is absolutely delicious. especially tasty food.
some of my friends would say, "reger, you eat anything! don't talk about caring about the taste!"
my response is i can't help it that everything tastes great.
but even better than just eating is cooking.
making your own food is just fantastic.
opening up a cupboard or fridge, taking out a whole slew of ingredients and creating something delictable...well, that's my little slice of heaven on earth.
i worked as a cook for a few months and that was a great job. it didn't last because i needed to go back to school, but i had a great time with that job. i learned a lot of little things about cooking then.
like seasoning the beef before hand for shepards pie.
constant basting with butter for roast chicken.
LOW heat for alfredo sauce.
putting wine in any marinara sauce makes the meal.
i've also learned some great recipes just on my own. basically having no clue what to do but having a lot of ingredients to do it with. i make a fantastic chicken parm. my sloppy joe mix is amazing. and don't even get me started on breakfast foods. i can make cheesy eggs that will make you cry they are so good.
oh, and heating stuff up in the microwave doesn't count as cooking. a microwave is for defrosting, reheating or frozen dinners. a stove or oven or open flame is required to be cooking. i feel very strongly about this. even if it is frozen vegetables or just pasta don't use a microwave. you're no better than a freshmen in a dorm if you do.
