#3. Simplest yogurt sauce

[mrbungle]

So, I am slowly going through How to Cook Everything in an effort to learn how to cook. Right now I’d put my skill level at….poor-to-fair. My heart’s in the right place, though.

Anyway. I’m going to post photos of the stuff I make, just so you know how it’s going. This first chapter is all about sauces and marinades and such, so it may start out

knowing how to cook = THE BEST. have fun!

Yeah! The intro to this book says something about how when you're cooking, it's almost meditative. And I think that's true. When I'm doing stuff, I'm so focused on what I'm doing--the measuring, the cutting, the stirring--that my brain shuts up for a bit and it's kind of peaceful. I'm really enjoying it.

Plus I have some really forgiving family members who are going to be very happy with nearly anything I make, no matter how it turns out. When I go to my parents' house on Sundays, I have access to all their ingredients, and grateful stomachs. :)

Plus, chicks like a dude who can cook, yeah?

um YEAH! kind of a deal breaker for me if a guy can't make some basics. chicks will be stoked if you have them over for a -serious- dinner. pretty much a no fail!

I should probably buy a table then. That "cooking and then eating on the floor" thing works great in "Scott Pilgrim," but I find that Ramona Flowers is kind of a fanboy dream.

no idea on that one. glass coffee tables work too though! and probably the non glass variety. that's what i eat at every night :)

We have a wooden "coffee table" covered in mail, my roommates' baseball cards, some old comic books, etc. I dunno. I feel like if I'm going to go to the trouble of crafting a meal for a lady, I'm not going to make her hunch over a coffee table to eat it.

The hunching over can come later. HEY-oh!
