Cooking: I can haz it
Mon, Jan. 10th, 2011 09:28 pmI started learning how to cook around when I graduated from undergrad, for the obvious reasons, but I didn't really try it much until around 2005, when I was inspired by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
coffeeandink's forays into cooking to try myself. And then grad school hit, in which I would cook and wrap dumplings during the first month of each semester and gradually move toward take out, EZ Mac, and pizza as the semester wore on.
I enjoy cooking, but it may be one of those things I enjoy more when I have a lot of spare time; when I get a job again, we'll see how much I keep doing it! But so far, I feel like I've been learning how to cook all over again in the past few months. On the plus side, I think I've actually gotten to the point when I can kind of stare at the fridge and throw things together, which was my target way back when.
The really big difference, though, is that I've finally learned how to cook Chinese food.
( Culture, food, family, and other complicated issues )
Would people be interested in my completely off-the-cuff, untested, and very generalized recipes?
Also, switching between languages to type is SO ANNOYING. Hopefully I will soon memorize the bopomofo keyboard on Windows (pinyin on Mac is so much easier for me).
