I really get stress out during our laboratory/kitchen session especially when my groups are sometimes lazy or not focused they tend to get so over the place and mess the whole plan because they get nerves or they feel so laid back and become careless. Next week will be baking 4 course(from Singapore,Thailand,India,Malaysia) 2 appetizers and 2 main course I have already decided what our two dishes will be its Singaporean slaw for appetizer and Bakwan Kepiting/Nyonnyan Meatball soup with bamboo shoots for Main course, but I'm still waiting for there recipes so that we can finalized the whole thing ... god its so frustrating hope we can pull this one off.

I took Home Economics when I was in junior high and it was interesting. Half the year was cooking and half was sewing. My grandmother taught me how to cook so I don't need the other. Your type of cooking sounds good. I like chinese food. Nothing fancy.

It happens..not just in those situations..when the persons you are with are not in the mood- it affects everyone else's aura unless you are quite good at ignoring it. Try to think of happy thoughts so you won't get affected. I do that sometimes..but most of the time i get defeated too lol

ahhh its soo hard to think about happy thoughts my professor might ask why im smirking while im chopping something when I get assigned in the mise en place section that would be awkward like ... Professor: whats funny? concentrate out you will cut your finger... Me: the onions are making me laugh... Professor: well that is something new ...

hi friend, you see cooking or culinary art is a fine art, it's like painting, sculpture or playing a musical instrument, I think people who are not in the mmod to do it should stay away from it lest you spoil everything. I use to paint and play the piano and I also cook, but when I'm not in the mood or have problems, I stay away cause I know I'm going to mess it up. I know it's quite different when your in a class, not to mention those who just joined but without real interest

amen, your very true some are just ahhh.... I don't wanna say the word because they are my friends... but sadly they act like what you just said in the last part of your response. But i understand i get this sometimes/rarely only if i get really stressed out about something. Thanks for the nice response
