The Alternative Friday Five

The Alternative Friday Five:

1. Do you like to cook? If so, what?

Anything and everything. I will even cook you meat if you ask nicely.

2. If you do like to cook, have you always or when did you start? If you don't like to cook, have you tried it without success or simply never gotten into it, or ...?

I have always been adventurous in the kitchen. I started making mac and cheese on the stove when I was 7.

3. What's the most ambitious-for-you dish you've ever prepared? How'd it come out?

Nothing really sticks out. Every day is an adventure. I did attempt to make real croissants once but they didn't turn out. I think it was too hot and humid for them.

4. Have there been fears, hesitations, or items of squeamishness you've struggled with in cooking?

I hesitate to cook with squid and octopus at home. I don't know why. I guess I figure it's easier to get my fix at a restaurant.

5. If you could learn to prepare one food perfectly the way you like it every time, what would it be?"

Mandu! It can be tricky to cook.
