#1. Anele’s question. Do you have a natural ability to cook or do you feel you just “get by?”
I think cooking is something I learned to do by watching my mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law cook. It feels natural to be in my kitchen cooking. I enjoy cooking for my family, but I don’t cook elaborate meals unless it’s a holiday.
#2. Why do you buy the size eggs that you buy?
I’ve bought large eggs for so long just because I like that size. The small eggs seem too small and the extra-large eggs seem too large. I will buy medium eggs sometimes if they’re on sale for a good price.
#3. Do you have any cooking “rules”?
Do NOT lift the lid on rice while it’s cooking.
#4. Fresh corn. Yellow, white or bicolored?
I buy frozen organic yellow corn most of the time. During the summer, I’ll buy fresh corn-on-the-cob.
I try to learn by watching my mother as well. Instead of learning, I often find myself mesmorized by the awesomeness of her skills.
Excellent rice advice. Took me a long time to learn that. haha.
