To All My Friends, RE: My Birthday This Saturday
I know what I want for my birthday this year: knowledge. Yeah, you heard me right: I want you to teach me something. Four years ago I said that I wanted to learn how to be a magician. Now I want to learn how to cook. I'm getting seriously into this. I know lots of "hows", but what I'm getting more interested in is the "whys".
So here's what I'd like from each of you, if possible:
1) A favourite recipe of yours, and
2) Pick a cooking topic and teach me about it. (Ideas: why we use different pans for different things, why some foods are cooked hot and fast, others slow and warm. What combinations of flavours "work", and, ideally, why (like notes in a chord))
Teach me something that you find useful. Help me understand WHY I'm doing the things I'm doing. :)
Think it over, and on my birthday (Saturday), I'll post something here and you should all reply to it :)
RE: Party... it's winter and nobody really wants to party or go anywhere when it's -40, so I think I'll defer any birthday celebrations until like.. I dunno, August or something. I'll have an unbirthday. :)
