wok talk - reloaded
shooting the breeze with my buddy today, he suddenly asked me an interesting question. do women especially adore men, who can cook, without having to bring out the entire state’s fire department? not one to be ambiguous, i think it’s best to narrow this down to dishes, involving raw goods rather than instant noodles, canned food and the such. what we would want, is a simple 3 course meal combined of a soup, meat dish and a vegetable dish. dessert is optional, but would be an added advantage.
so ladies, how does this sound? would you prefer mr. chef over mr. tough guy, who conviniently doesn’t cook?
i had no choice in life. parents were down to earth people and made sure both my sister and i could cook to save our lives. my best memory of cooking was my struggle with half-thawed fish. my mom nearly died laughing when she saw me with the wok cover like a shield, whilst i slid the fish into the hot oil. laugh all you want mom. at least i didn’t get hot oil flying all over my hands. let me tell you, water (ice crystals in this case) and hot oil are a big no-no. years later, i am now immune to sprays of hot oil. yay!
anyone wanna share stories of their cooking experience or lack thereof?
