I am a former professional cook. I work as a food consultant & write a blog called bittersweetcook.blogspot.com. My philosophy on food is that if it looks dead, I should try it. If it turns out to taste bad, I can always politely spit it into a napkin.
You guys are cracking me up. Next time a person shows up unannounced for dinner I'm employing all the tactics recommended. I guess that means answering the door naked and telling them I'm having juiced spam and grilled chicken hearts for dinner. If all that fails, and they still come in for dinner, next time I'm turning off all the lights and hiding behind the couch.
Ok everyone, I am sorry that I didn't see the policy about linking to my blog. I promise not to do it again!!!
By the way, sorry to everyone that I ended up posting essentially the same topic twice on Talk (Five Things To Learn How To Cook To Get A Man). I didn't realize that the first one worked.
Sorry to hear that you have to take a dump Tupper Cooks. It must be all the spam you insist on eating.
101 beans walk into a bar & the bartender says "we don't serve beans alcohol." The beans say, "don't worry we're already baked"
When you have people "accidentally" drop by during dinner time, what should you do besides hiding? While these unannounced guests may deserve Papa John's pizza and Budweiser, I make something like arugula-walnut pesto because you can make it really fast and it tastes great. What are some recipes you have for a fast meal?
If you are the kind of person who likes to watch copious amounts of cooking shows and enjoy reading food blogs, but never actually learned how to cook anything, it's not too late to redeem yourself. Pause the latest episode of Top Chef All-Stars and get into the kitchen immediately because you are about to learn about the five things you should know how to cook to keep a man/woman or get a better quality significant other if that's what you're secretly hoping for.
