improve my cooking skills

I made this amazing mesquite baked chicken on Monday. Not something that should be all that complicated, right? Well it’s kind of hard in a gas stove!. But it’s really good! I told my roommate I would love to have her try it and tell me what she thought. Well, she never tried it. She did, however, come home last night and smell some sausage that I cooked and just asked if she could have the rest of it. I was like…uh, okay…it’s not like I took the time to buy it (pay for it!) and cook it… and had other food for you to eat, just go right ahead. Arg! Anyways, the chicken is really good. AND I’m in a food prep and sanitation class (required for my major) and I’m looking forward to our first lab tomorrow. I even get to wear a chef jacket, pants, and hat! Exciting!!

Since I’m a Hotel and Restaurant Admin. major, I’m required to learn how to cook! I’m taking Food Prep and Sanitation this semester, and I’ve already learned a lot (in two days!) I can’t wait to get into the lab and do actual cooking!

I want to learn to cook at least 15 dishes really well. Complicated dishes too.
Right now I’ve got…spaghetti, pizza burgers, BBQ chicken, and chili. I need some work!
