Something that I've always enjoyed playing around with is cooking. I just find it fun and a creative experience. Not that everything I do turns out great, but it's edible (most of the time). Cooking to just eat and add fuel to your body gets old, really fast. Playing around with different types of flavours, textures, contrasts and colours doesn't really add a lot of time to food prep, but it makes the experience of eating so much more enjoyable. It actually makes dinner an experience rather than just a normal thing that you do like brushing your teeth.
Like anything, I think that it would be good to take classes to expand my skills and knowledge. I found some with a quick search, but at 139 $ / night, that's pretty steep.
Maybe I should just pick up a part time job to learn more and actually get paid for my time... :-P
I'm kind of torn on cooking. I love cooking shows for some reason and I love eating great food ... but the problem is that I can't cook great food, and it would take me a long time to learn and practise to get to that point.
ReplyDelete...so I'm much happier paying to eat other people's great meals. ;)
I enjoy the process of making "good" food. I also can't afford to eat out all the time either.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I *do* enjoy eating at really fancy places from time to time since it gives me ideas that I can incorporate into day to day things. Even if it's just presentation, it's an improvement.
