I like eggs, too. I wish I was a better cook, actually. I feel like my cooking is... A bit repetative. LIke the way I play computer games. I just sort of do the same thing over and over in a sort of a mindless way instead of actually getting better at it / actually becoming good.
I don't know.
I just don't seem to have a good handle on timing. I would like to be great at things like vegetable stir frys that are about timing things so everything is cooked so it is perfectly ready together. But I'm basically not that good at it.
Cooking for myself I can eat things just as soon as they are ready. I don't feel the need to sit at a table, even. I don't even have a table, even. Ha.
Partly it is about it not being so much fun when you don't have nice things to cook with. Knives that are sharp and well balanced so you can chop with good technique so it is fun to chop rather than being a dangerous chore.
Pans that distribute the heat evenly and are non-stick enough for... Flipping pancakes. Or whatever.
I have a rice pot that sheds black crap from the bottom of the pan every time I use it. So... I don't eat much rice. I would eat more if I was a better cooker of stir frys...
I like eggs but I don't have the non-stick pan for eggs.
