Two weeks ago was the Thanksgiving weekend. The magnificent one went to a retreat while I sat home alone cause I needed to work both on Sunday and Monday (I am not complaining, by the way). At the last minutes, however, I suddenly found myself did not need to work on Monday. I, therefore, decided that I will cook Thanksgiving dinner on Monday so that when she came out of the retreat (such an unbelievable great guy).
I am not cooking anything out of this world, just a turkey, some vegetables and I have brought a shrimp ring. And then I remembered a talk I have with one of my friend awhile ago.
First of all let me first say this, I am not a great cook or anything. But when I was young, my mom always ask me to help her out in the kitchen (being a full-time worker and full-time mom of 2 boys is not easy). So I can cook a little bit, nothing great but I think (and hope) they are at least edible.
Apparently, the friend of mine, which has not married yet, seldom cooks at all. And when I asked him what would he do if he gets marry and when his wife like him don’t know how to cook either, and he said that they will just have to dine out 7 days per week. At a matter of fact, I know I lot of people don’t cook much, and I know a lot of people don’t know how to cook at all. It is nothing wrong as different people know and like to do different things. It is their proactive. I think, however, it is very hard to believe that someone cannot cook at all.
Of course, most people don’t know what they are talking about when they say they do not know how to cook. I once have a great debate with my co-worker about if you can cook an instant noodle; it means that you can cook. Even if I agree with them as stuff like instant noodle, or any food that only need to “warm/cook” with microwave is not part of cooking. I am sure most of them can at least cook an egg, some form of pasta, BBQ...etc. As always, people don’t know what they are talking about. Or, they cooking skill is so low that they rather pretend they don’t know. Ignorant or deceiving, either way means they suck (yes, my talent is too put a negative in anything).
So, how is the turkey turn out? It was juicier than your weekly gossip magazine, lol. I give it a 90/100 (who says I am a discourager? Huh! Huh! Huh!).
Don't believe me? Take a look yourself (I need a sharper knife though).
Chill
