Sunday Stealing- Cooking

 

 

 

 

 

1.  How often do you make food and eat it?  4-5 times/week.  I am not home on Friday, I am 

visiting my mom and we usually eat out one day on the weekend.

2.  Do you consider toasting bread, preparing instant noodles, or boiling an egg to be cooking?

Why or why not?  I do.  Those skills are needed to be able to put meals together and even 

though they may not be hard to do, they are still part of cooking.

3.  What’s your favorite dish to make?  lasagne or cheesy burritos.

4.  Cooking or baking: what’s more fun? What’s more difficult?  I enjoy cooking more, but

only because baking takes so much more time.

5.  Who did most of the cooking in your house when you were growing up?  my mom, but my

dad cooked a lot too and anything I learned about cooking was from him.

6.  How have you learned the cooking skills that you have?  My dad from baking and my

Granie from cooking with her at her house.

7.   Have you ever taken a cooking course? If so, what did you learn? If not, would you like

to do one? What would you like to learn?  I would love to take a cooking course.  I would

just like to learn to make good easy things...or even how to bake some new things.

8.   Have you tried cooking food from another culture? What did you prepare? How was it?

Not really.  The Mexican dishes I make are probably Americanized.

9.   Is it cost-effective to do your own cooking? Can you save money by cooking?  I think it is

more healthy to cook at home, but probably more cost effective too.  I do think you save

money by cooking.

10.  Would you rather do the cooking or do the washing up afterwards?  I enjoy cleaning

up more.

11.  Do you use recipes to cook? If so, where do you get the best recipes? Do you get them

from friends, family, online, or from cookbooks?  I make up recipes or learn from other

people.  I do not follow recipes when I cook.

12.  Have you ever tried to prepare some food and just totally ruined it? What happened?

That has never happened so far.  I did catch a pan on fire once, but I was able to

save the food.

13. Do you prefer cooking at home or eating out at a restaurant? Why?  eating at

a restaurant. We are tired when we get home from working all day.  

14. Is cooking a social activity for you? Do you like to do it with other people, or do your prefer

to do it alone?  I like to cook either way.  Karl and I both cook during holidays and

that is fun.

15. Do you have a lot of cooking equipment? How often do you use it all? Do you have any

pieces of equipment that you rarely ever use?  We have some casserole dishes we do not

use as much as we used to.  I do have a lot of stuff for cooking, but we do use a lot of it.
