This year, I definitely learned more about cooking. That being said, most people instinctively know about cooking what I had to learn from an embarrassing and messy process known as "trial and error."
Here's what I got so far:
1) Paula Deen is right on the money. Cook anything in about two inches of butter and it'll taste great.
2) Eggs will cause any sauce that you've gone to the trouble of creating to disappear within seconds leaving your meal tasting egg-y and dry.
3) Bake cookies at a lower temperature than suggested and they come out extra chewy (you know, because they're still partly dough at that point--e coli be damned!)
4) Bacon really does spruce up any meal.
5) Less is more when you're cooking with olive oil at a high heat using a skillet. That reminds me, I need to check my smoke detector batteries.
6) Rice is like an old flame. You invite it to come over, thinking you'll get it right this time, and you end up throwing it out with the trash the next morning because you can't bear to look at it anymore.
...Yeah, it's sort of like that, right?
7) There is a huge difference between "stick" and "non-stick."
8) Whenever a meal turns out bad, just pour lots of grated cheese on top of it, and somehow, everything will be fine.
9) Nobody gets bored with tortellini.
10) Cook for someone else. It's more fun that way.
It's like The Torkelson's riddle: What's the wrong way to eat spagetti? Alone.
