I do not know how to cook

[afuna]

And I have been scared to learn, so I am determined to do so at some point in this next week.

So far, I have:

• cut carrots (it looks easy! I did not realize it was possible to do it horrendously badly! But I did it anyway! (both the cutting and the horrendously badly!) )
  
  
• cut chicken into chunks (across the grain. or the, the, whatever you call the texture. I think I scared people with my knife. BUT. I did it anyway ahaha )
  
  
• mixed chicken in the thing you coat it in before cooking (in this case, dab of rice wine, black pepper, sesame oil, soy paste. Then some corn starch afterwards, to keep it tender, I think (sesame oil on my hands smells so very good) )
  
  
• rejoiced over not yet wrecking dinner \o/
  
  

PS. Have not yet touched the stove.

Marinade?

I made chicken for lunch too! I did rice wine, garlic powder, salt, and sesame oil.

Marinade! Yes, that was the word I was looking for.

And mmm, that sounds good (especially the sesame oil. I have a newfound respect for sesame oil)

Hey, as long as no one was bleeding, you cut the carrots right ;)

[afuna]

Nope, no bleeding.

( That I noticed, at least :O )

One of these days, I'll feed you something I cook

(and hope you don't laugh too hard at me :-))

Get books that requires less then 5 ingredients, it'll help ^^ I've been pining for Jamie Olivers's Ministry of Food.

I'd say you should try with omelet first ;)

I share your sentiments exactly.

I am such a klutz! I handle knifes and I would end up with band aids on my fingers. Ahahahaha...

When I cook I usually just let the other people cut all the things up for me... hehehehe

[afuna]

Maybe I can cut and you can cook ahahha. I'm more scared of the heat than I am of the knives.

If I can do it, you can!
