Any Passionate Cooks/ Foodies?

@ BOLD: Yes, even I can watch Food Network all day long! It's so much fun for me.

@ BOLD: Yes, I too love to go to the grocery store or even specialty markets and buy new ingredients to try. I have even put myself in a pickle because of it. 😆 I was at the Farmer's Market one time, and I bought a vegetable called "jicama". I had it in a salad at a restaurant, so I wanted to make a salad with it too. We had guests from out of town too during that time. I had not worked with jicama before, and I did not know how difficult it is to peel and cut it. We do not own any fancy chef knifes, so it took me almost two hours to peel and cut the jicama! 😲 😆 I had tried every knife we owned to cut it. 😆It was worth it though because the salad tasted awesome with it, and our guests liked it, but my hands were pink and sore after the whole ordeal. 😆

@ BOLD: Yes, experimenting is so much fun, and it can also be dangerous too. 😆 I have had some funny cooking experiences while trying to copy what I saw the chef on T.V. do. 😆

I also have a horrible tendency to make too much food, so if a recipe does not turn out well, there's always so much of it left. I have to learn to cook small test batches instead. 😆

My dad and I get the kitchen very dirty, and we also have a tendency to take out too many bowls and cooking pots/ utensils. 😆 I clean up though after I am done, and I help my dad too when he cooks. My dad gets the stove area very dirty, so my mom gets very upset with him. 😆
