I had to take a cooking class as part of my Nutritional Science degree program. It was pretty basic but unfortunately some of the students had never stepped foot in a kitchen before.

We composted all of our kitchen scraps for use in the community garden. As I was walking by a group of students I overheard a girl say, "So, how does this compost work? Just throw it on the ground and see what grows?"

I was dumbfounded.

Ha! I thought I was the only one who enjoyed the texture/feel of a sharp knife going into an onion! Luckily, I have contact lenses that keep the gases out of my eyes so I NEVER cry when cutting them... I used to dice them for hours as a prep cook. Happily, I might add.
