Now here's something I can get behind.
The Friday Five
Given a choice, and imagining that money and time were no object, would you rather cook dinner, eat out or order in?
I would much rather cook dinner. From scratch. Using whole, organic ingredients.
What is the most elaborate meal you've ever prepared yourself or purchased at a restaurant?
I've had teppanyaki a few times, which is pretty elaborate. I have also cooked my fair share of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I've had a small hand in frying a couple of turkeys, too.
What food do you find yourself making and/or eating way too much?
Ramen. Really, there's no reason for it other than nostalgia.
What was your most disastrous cooking/eating out experience?
The St. Patrick's day where we were were woefully underprepared for company. We went to the parade in St. Paul, got real drunk at The Liffey afterwards, and didn't get the corned beef in the crock pot in time. Everything else turned out well, but we had to try and cook the roast in the oven and it didn't have that succulent falling-apart quality that it should of had.
Would you rather cook for someone else or have them cook for you?
My favorite thing in the whole world is cooking for a crowd.
I really would like to go to culinary school but can't afford it. Besides, I would probably have to start out making minimum wage in some crappy kitchen to gain experience for several years before I'd be able to do what I really want to do, which is be a private chef or caterer. After living on an IT wage for so long and with the possibility of breeding in the near future it would be impossible to change direction now.
