The Weekend Chef

I've begun cooking. That is all.

You are in hot water that's started to boil?

The appropriate term for that would be "being boiled", not "cooking". Anyway, context should show that the active voice is intended, not the passive.

Compare:
"I cooked with a pot."
"The chicken cooked in a pot."

Cooking includes boiling things, though. I admit it was maybe not the best word chosen, but I couldn't come up with anything better.

When possible, context should always be ignored if that allows one to say something silly which obviously misinterprets the intended message. (Some of my friends say that I drive them insane, but I doubt I can do much more harm - they must already be missing a couple of screws to be voluntarily spending time in my company.)
