I would give myself a 6;)! I can cook well enough, but I avoid doing so at all cost.

I'm about to microwave a panini right now!:D

I never had to cook for myself so it makes it kind of hard, wouldn't you think.:rolleyes: So what! I had a little accident, and you're the moron just for being a member of this site.
I'll cook for you.:D

I'm probably between a 7.5 & an 8. I've been cooking full meals since I was seven, so I know the cordon bleu stuff - I just get lazy and don't do it most of the time.

I can remember my first home ec class, and the teacher asking if anyone knew how to make macaroni & cheese. She called on me, thinking I would say something about the boxed stuff, but I said, "First you make a white sauce..." and I had my A from there on!

What the f**k is your problem? If I've explained it once (in a manner in which you can read and reread it) I've explained it a thousand times...

I hate to cook, because I work in a molecular biology laboratory all day and I have measure down to the microliter following protocols (advanced recipes) for PCRs, Westerns, Southerns, et al. I make measurements all day...

By the time I get home, I am tired of measuring ANYTHING!!!

If it is not microwavable, I am not cooking it unless it's pasta...

But, I can make dayum good Honey Mustard Lamb or Rose Petal Quail... And I am a vegetarian!!! :eek:
I have to ask- when you're measuring outside of the lab, do you still find yourself placing the container on the counter to make sure the meniscus is where its supposed to be? Whenever I'm measuring anything, I still find myself doing that, and my friends look at me like I'm nuts. I can't measure a cup of water without placing it down, and pouring it in while I'm eye level with the measuring cup.


I place myself at a 6 on the scale. I can cook, but I just don't like to do it. Baking. Now thats where I'm awesome!

That's how we were taught in home ec, seriously, and I still do it. Home ec ended up helping with chemistry class!

I do that all the time. Between all the chemistry classes I took as a kid, and the fact that I learned to cook from my mother (who is a doctor and therefore also took a bunch of chem classes), I have to put the beaker - er, measuring cup - down on the counter and look for the meniscus.

Conversely, my daddy could never understand how I could cook so well and not do well in chemistry! The key word, I believe, is the desire. I didn't ever think I'd use chemistry, but I would use the ability to cook.

i'm a pretty strong 8. i absolutely love to cook and i rock out a stove!

I'm about a 9. I like to watch the Food Network and "make" stuff I see on there. Normally, I can taste something and reproduce it, or see something once and make it.

JWithers 05-10-2007 07:22 PM
I'm probably a 9. I'm a foodie. ;)
