For ever since I remembered I always joked that I couldn’t cook- I even said I thought I could burn water- but the reality was I hadn’t really ever tried to cook very much of anything! When I got ready to go away to school I had to learn this sort of thing fairly fast! I have to say though I have never starved , and I actually can pick up on things pretty easily- I don’t do grilling and I would love to be able to make actual breaded fried chicken but.. I’ve done pretty OK for myself 🙂 I don’t care what people say about me- if it can go in a pressure cooker or slow cooker I can make it work. Another joke with me is everyone says “if it starts with a can of cream of_____ soup she can make it!” I can get a little more involved than that if I want.
I know that when we were moving here I had this super heavy tub and my dad asked what was in it and I told him cookbooks and he laughed and laughed at me and I was like OK really? 😉
What shocked me most of all was whenI was first with Jason and I would go hang out with him between classes and he would just make a hot pocket. I didn’t figure that he was much for cooking either- but every job he has had since I can remember has had to do with cooking! Right now he is actually a bar manager of a place and I didn’t even know that until a couple weeks back- I just thought he was a line cook. I guess someone like him would probably be looking for a restaurant franchise for sale? maybe at some point if he felt adventurous !
To go along with my whole cooking thing, I have always been super scared of anything sharp, but especially knives and I don’t even really know WHY. I Have only ever got a tiny cut with a knife one time and that was way after the fact, and probably because of my fear of them? I do try to be super careful though! I think it might go back to when I almost got my finger cut off when I was a little on a electric butter churn but I’m not really sure! I know that on a saw my dad has almost cut his finger off twice- one time was around this time last year and he got SUPER lucky that everything is o.k. I guess we should probably stay away from super sharp stuff like https://omnicord.com/products/t-outliner-ceramic-blade– which I know I will but my dad probably not so much!
I don’t know why in the world the quarry is on my mind so much lately- like I say my dad has worked there for 32 years and David for 12- but maybe it is since I have hung out with people who work there and with the Christmas party and all that sort of thing- anyways I bet they use services out there similar to Northern Mat since they are in the mining industry
