I can’t cook. There – I said it.
I really can’t. I’m not being modest; I legitimately cannot cook. Under supervision, I can chop and slice and dice with the best mediocre of them (and I make a mean pot of rice in the rice cooker) but on my own it invariably turns into a disaster. I think at this point, with so many unsuccessful attempts under my apron, I have developed a very acute mental block against the very idea of cooking and it’s disappointing because both my mom and my mother-in-law are wonderful cooks capable of whipping up a meal like it’s nobody’s business.
Me? HA, yeah right. My specialties are peanut butter & jelly and Rice-A-Roni. (I eat a lot of rice, ok?)
I think that is part of why the show Top Chef intrigues me so much. It’s all so beautiful and watching them throw together a meal with 3 ingredients only (because that is what they rolled on the craps table, naturally) for a half-second makes me believe that I can do/make the same. And yes, I can hear my husband laughing from the other room. In case you were wondering.
i’m yours (and will be more yours should you invite me over for dinner),

PB&J really does not get enough respect these days. It can be a girls best friend. You make food look beautiful. I reached out to try and dip my finger in the Guac and was sad to realize it was trapped on my computer :-)
HooraY! But here’s my thing- did you make all the food you just photographed here? BEcause it looks AWESOME.
This post makes me hungry. I could have a second dinner at 10:30pm… right?!
Mmm… HOLY GUACAMOLE.
You have me beat. I don’t even know how to use the rice cooker. I’m in charge of cleaning it out.
hahahaha. the whole description of you not being able to cook made me laugh sooooo hard hahaha. If it makes you feel any better – I can’t cook either haha. :) :) That food looks DELICIOUS though!!!
Your new blog is aaaamazing! And we definitely need to give each other pep talks when those caffeine headaches kick in.
YUM!
