I think my wife and I were professional chefs in another life. We both treat trips to the grocery store like they're some kind of pilgrimage. We stand in the produce section for what must seem like an eternity to the guy stocking apples. In the kitchen, my wife and I have a system. I do all the chopping. I usually do the frying or boiling, and she usually does the baking. Man, we love cooking. For breakfast this morning I made fried potatoes with sausage, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and some eggs. Makes me hungry again just thinking about it! <em>cory huff's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AGoodHusband/~3/248894034/divorce-is-too-easy.html' rel="nofollow">Divorce is Too Easy</a></em> Um…actually, when it’s my turn to cook it’s usually a fairly elaborate meal.

One thing is that we don't follow recipes. The dishes we cook don't usually have names other than something that indicates the main ingredients and method of cooking. My philosophy is this: If I were to follow a recipe, I would need to get those items. If I don't have them in my fridge, then I'd have to substitute them with something else. If I am to do that, then the flavor and time for cooking would be different. People have different tastes and you might be cooking for different number of people so most steps will vary. So it all comes down to common sense. If the ingridients and ways of cooking are both going to change, you might as well just make up your own recipe as you go. <em>Kelvin Kao's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PuppetKaos/~3/244772772/' rel="nofollow">LCC presents: I’m Feeling Lucky!</a></em> Um, my parents actually cook in pretty similar ways, and as for me, I cook similar too.
