Well, duh.

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...


Speaking of cooking, last night I made a tasty improv pasta: penne (the fiber-fortified kind, but not whole wheat. Suspicious, but tastes like the real semolina kind and has 5g of fiber per serving--not bad!) with italian chicken sausage, artichoke hearts, fennel, sage, and pine nuts. Finished with a bit of cheese, a glug of olive oil, and a little lemon juice--presto! That's a thirty-minute meal I can get behind.

Springspiration



I went to the U-District farmers' market yesterday and shopped my little Chefty heart out. I love Spring! Pictured here are some chive blossoms. I also brought home a bundle of asparagus, lots of mushrooms, butter lettuce, a whole bunch of herbs, fresh flowers... I'm so glad market season is back.
