LOL, nothing at all, I’m glad you enjoy cooking. I started a little later in life so you will make friends and family very happy with the skills you learn sooner.
We were kidding about how Food Network, once it finds a show that is popular, they run it endlessly. Now the new thing is chopped with kids on it. Or that other show I think with Rachel ray? It has kids on it too. And of course there’s four hours of either chopped or diners drive-ins and dives every night.
I am amazed at some of those kids. I’m amazed they even know some of the cooking terms, much less being able to do them. They cook circles around me!
These taste like they came from a fancy French confectionery shop.
