Cooking excites me. I know you think that's rather odd, but it's true. I love the preparation of food. Since I was very, very young, I wanted my own access cable cooking show. Just so I'd have an excuse to cook new things, and talk to a camera while doing so. I like the illusion of someone interacting with me more than the actual interaction alot of times, so it would be a pretty good deal. I'll watch any sort of cooking shows, but my cooking show wouldn't have any of those tiny French meals that probably couldn't fill up Calista Flockhart. I would fix "good" food. Lots of potatoes. Potatoes are like the WD-40 of food. No single food is as versatile as potatoes. There are several million ways to prepare potatoes. No matter what the occasion, there will always be a way to make potatoes compliment the rest of the meal. Potatoes are and will always be a staple of my menu. But I digress. I would cook every type of meat, fish, and poultry. Within reason, I suppose. I realize that the whole world is more or less against red meat, but I love it, and I will eat it until the day I die (which may be 45, with high cholestrol and a pacemaker). I really like chicken, so it would show up on my show quite frequently. Most of my menus for the show would be meals for the family, not things that take vast expertise to prepare, or particularly exotic things. I would try to offer an alternative to the fast food meals that seem to dominate households these days. I guess that's part of why I enjoy cooking; family. I like to cook for other people. Someday I'd like to cook for a family of my own. I think it's very important for a family to eat together, but that's just my opinion. Someone who cooks for no one but themself is like an artist that never shows his work to anyone but his/her cat.
