cooking for sport

i do not consider myself A Cook. however, i am becoming a cook. for fun. not for necessity. i tend to be a moderate feminist who believes that men are capable of opening cans and using forks to feed themselves, and should they wish more edible vituals, may also prepare them, and that only children need to be fed until they can feed themselves, in which case they may learn to help prepare food so they will know how to take care of themselves when they grow up.

i do cook for men however when i really like them, as a favor. because i like doing something nice that i know they like. i also prefer to keep it that way and tend to like guys who also cook so that i don't feel he's gonna die if I don't feed him! ;)

it is only lately that i have started cooking as an art form, similar to musical talents which are heard, and photography which is seen. food can be an art form that is smelled and eaten. so therefore, i have started cooking.

as you saw, my first foray was my christmas pie which turned out excellently. i am now on my 3rd successful attempt to make apple pie, this time from scratch (i.e. including the crust.) i will include a picture again if it turns out looking nice. you can believe, it will turn out tasting nice, as i am a good cook, inspite of myself.

and...boyfriend bware...i believe the best match for a cook for a sport is a dishwasher for sport. for much like a racecar driver, i don't believe that i should both drive AND be changing the tires at the same time. don't you agree???
