It's too hot! + Cooking!

104 degrees right now. omg. look what the sun did to my Polo slippers. Anybody want naturally cooked toasty slippers? Cooked with 100% sun.


I've also been watching "Gordon.Ramsays.Ultimate.Cookery.Course" - and it's pretty good. He teaches you 10-20 minute recipes in less than 5 minutes. He also teaches it in a way for beginners.

Watching it makes me want to cook. I've always enjoyed cooking, but never had my own kitchen with correct ingredients to ever try real cooking with custom recipes. What I did learn from the show is that I first need to get the right equipment and be prepared. Things to buy:

1. Really nice frying pan. Most of the cooking is generally done here. It's important to not go cheap since you'll be using it very often.

2. Get some nice knives. Probably the second most important part of cooking is a nice set of knives. You need 3 basic knives. First, is the basic chopping knife. Second, is a smaller cutting knife for vegetables. Third, is a meet slicing knife which has rugged blades. Also need to remember to always sharpen the knife before each use to keep it sharp. Dull knives are dangerous and unproductive.

3. Cutting board. Have a large surface area and a dense cutting board so that it doesn't move around is important.

4. Fresh ingredients. Quality over quantity. The food will taste as good as the ingredients you put it in.
