i am so thankful for everyone who has taught me how to cook.
my mom. my sister. my dad. ruth. my grandma. everyone at work. everyone at school. the pioneer woman. tons & tons of blogs out there. the food network. amy & ogden. miss nebbia...
it is so much fun to learn about something & actually get a bit better at it. especially when it is something you really love.
& after pastry school & baking almost daily for over a year now, i am certain that the best way to learn how to cook is to do it a lot & make mistakes & pick up tips from those around you.
i made a huge batch of salsa last night for a dinner we are hosting tonight & it is really bitter. i have full confidence after talking to my chef & stalking the internet, i can salvage it.
& i am making my umpteenth pioneer woman pulled pork for the dinner too. some have been better than others but i am learning that part of it has to do with the quality of the meat but part of it is the amount of salt i put on the pork first to break down the proteins & make it tender.
that is so cool.
so thank you all who have made me a better cook. & thank you all who cheer me on to keep cooking. it is a lot of fun.
i hope you can think of something today for which you are thankful.
love love,
kjp.
