<h2>Cooking</h2>
|

|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
I love to cook.
|
||
|
|
When I have the time for it.
|
||
|
|
Cooking is one of those primal sensual things that should not be rushed.
|
||
|
|
Like lovemaking, art, theater.
|
||
|
|
It takes the time it takes and trying to force it to take less is a recipe for frustration and disaster.
|
||
|

|
|
There is little more vital that we do for ourselves and for those we care for then nourishment.
|
||
|
|
Having someone else to cook for and share the results with makes the experience exponentially more enjoyable and fulfilling.

I still mostly follow recipes.
|
||
|
|
I have not yet developed the imagination to blend ingredients and see what they would taste like together in my mind.
|
||
|
|
I do make some small tweaks but the general idea is usually a recipe that I have found somewhere.
|
||
|
|
The care comes in how each step is carried out.
|
||
|
|
The chopping, making a sauce, getting just the right texture.
|
||
|
|

|
It is an activity that I find forces presence like few others.
|
||
|
|
Some can cook with the television on.
|
||
|
|
I have tried that but it does not work.
|
||
|
|
My attention can't be divided.
|
||
|
|
Also being worried about chopping your finger off is a pretty good reason to focus.
|
||
|
|
Have caught a piece of finger only once in my years in the kitchen and learned that lesson well.
|
||
|
|
At most some music, and even then best not with lyrics.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
As most recipe sites are pretty terrible I plan to add some of my favourites here in an easily consumable format.
|
||
|
|
No long story, just ingredients and instructions as I would like to see them with no extraneous stuff.
|
||
|
|
Next step for this page.
