News You Can Bruise for 2005 October 3 (entry 0)

(3) Mon Oct 03 2005 21:42 PST Challah: I made a challah bread (originally intended for French toast) and people raved about it, asked if challah were my specialty, etc. I'm not sure how to deal with the quality of my cooking because it's not something I feel I'm especially good at. I keep thinking people are just being polite but the charade has been going on for long enough that the hypothesis starts taking on aspects of your more sinister conspiracy theories, with salivating lizard-men lurking in the shadows waiting to eat leftover risotto.

Sometimes I think about going to culinary school, but it would be a big waste of money because I doubt I could ever be happy making food for a living. However I am always on the lookout for ways to be a dilletante on the cheap, so I just bought a cooking school textbook for self-teaching. We'll see how it goes.

Forthcoming NYCB entries: big changes, Ruby stuff, fun with Amazon wish lists and AWS tomfoolery. I am basically just typing stuff because I don't want to go to sleep yet.

Oooh, I want to make challah now. I am kinda the same, but my dad was a chef (until about 15 years ago) and that kinda put me off even thinking about doing it for a living.

Yeah, I know how that goes.

I would like to go to culinary school just for fun!
