"I was 32 when I learned to cook, until then, I just ate." Julie Childs

There is a proper way to heat a pan and it starts by enrolling in an online cooking school trial period for 14 days. Yes, in order to know how to heat a pan, you have to know there is a wrong way.

Inspired shamelessly by Julie and Julia, I'm going to learn to cook in front of your very eyes. Incredibly, like Julia, I do like to eat and I am good at it. Twins!

I checked out two crappy books from the library. I chose these books really carefully: one by its beautiful pictures and the other by the word "college" in it. The beautiful picture book has a list of 20 ingredients per recipe and the college book is for the student at COS, living at home, eating mostly peanut butter. Luckily for me, Amazon has suggested some better books, and the library has offered to track them down from Chinatown and text me when they're in. Hopefully they'll be there tomorrow as their status says they're in transit! The library is right by the farmer's market at the Civic Center. So, two birds with one stone: sweet patats from the market and a quickie to la biblioteca.

  1. You're so fun, Chels, just like Julie and Julia! Can't wait to see what you cook up in your cute little cocina. You really need to try that potsticker recipe I posted awhile ago. I made it again this weekend and it is delish! You could always make it veg so Roger will like it, too.

  2. By the way, you can adjust the width of your sidebars, so your photos fit better. Go to Design, then Template Designer, then Adjust Widths. It moves right in front of your eyes, so just adjust it til the photos and videos fit. Love the new look, by the way! Peeps are going to think this is your awesome apartment :)
