One of the neatest things about cooking is the personal encyclopedia of dishes each cook develops over the years. My mother, for example, can make almost any sort of Gujurati curry without even consulting a recipe book or measuring out her ingredients. It bothered me to no end when I would ask her about how much cumin, how many teaspoons

Cooking. The only domestic hobby that completely eludes me in all forms. I can't even boil a fucking pot of water.

However, I immensely enjoy following your escapades via Twitter. Generally after you mention your newest intended cooking venture in great detail, I end up getting it for dinner. Case in point: mac and cheese. Mmm.

Keep at it - my first few attempts resulted in epic failure (and I've almost set the apartment on fire twice using the same toaster oven). Hope your mac-n'-cheese was good - I think it's a swell food as long as it's not that instant Kraft stuff (which is actually meh, but using real cheese makes it orders of magnitude better).

I can't quite figure this out but is that you in your icon?

You make me wish I cooked more often. I used to be good at it, but I haven't cooked at all since I've been in Taiwan...

Ah you're still there! Lemme know when you get back.

Is it easier to just go out and buy food in Taiwan? I have this weird vision of all the supermarket food being packaged nicely into tiny containers with smiley faces and sunshine all over the vegetables. Right.

I'm visiting the States sometime this summer, if you're in SoCal...

It is kind of easier because there are takeout/lunchbox places everywhere, but mostly my schedule doesn't ever make me feel like cooking. I tend to like cooking in the evening, but I work those hours, and by the time I get home I don't feel like doing a damn thing in the kitchen. :)
