The Friday Five from two weeks ago on a Tuesday

(not a snappy title)

1. Do you cook regularly or does someone else cook for you?

I cook regularly because I have to - if I didn't, the family wouldn't eat sometimes. I have never really enjoyed it though, and I have a limited repertoire of dishes. If I were on my own I'd probably live on ramen, grilled cheese sandwiches, and fruit. The bloke is a much better cook than me, but he can't do it all the time.

2. Which are you better at making: sweet or savory foods?

Er, see above. I like baking more than cooking. I probably make sweet things a bit better.

3. If you had to work as a chef in a restaurant of your choice, which restaurant would best complement your current culinary skills?

The grilled cheese sandwich restaurant.

4. What is a cooking tip that you know, but other people generally aren’t aware of?

Get rich, hire a personal chef. Honestly, I have no idea, I don't talk to other people about cooking.

5. Do you have a recipe you would like to share?

I think my slow cooker chilli from this post is pretty good.

My minor contribution to the legendary $1 Grilled Cheese Truck thread was the take-a-condiment-leave-a-condiment tray.

There is a grilled cheese sandwich food truck here in town and I have always wanted to go there!

Also a local cafe used to (I wish they had never stopped) make this amazing grilled cheese sandwich - cheese with pesto, fresh basil leaves, and tomato. It was so good.

Family-chef-by-default solidarity!

Mmm, grilled cheese sandwiches, yum.

I stand behind your cooking tip.

I love cooking, which is handy because the cat isn't going to do it, but I could still very happily live on toast!

I like cooking but I don't like *having* to cook.

When we first got together the Mr was a better cook than I was, but over the last 10 years I've outpaced him (because I do most of the cooking :P).

I think you would LOVE this local restaurant.
