When partners cook together

My cousin and I are partners in cooking but we don't really know how to cook at all. Hahaha! We just search menus on the internet and then we'll decide on what we'll try to do. There was this one time, it was during her mom's birthday, when she decided that we go make caramel custard because that's what her mom likes. So I did the research, took note of the necessary ingredients and procedures then we went to do the groceries so we can get the ingredients we need. The procedure was very easy but we ended up making the custard for almost six hours. My eyes were already closing voluntarily because I never had the chance to get some sleep after getting off from work. By the time we finished making the custard it was already past 8pm so the people in the house literally had to wait for us to finish before they had their dinner. I ended up not eating dinner at all because I was so sleepy and I didn't had the chance to taste what we made too because they ate up everything. When I woke up the next day they just told me they loved what we did but we need improvement. After that I stopped making caramel custard but my cousin is now an expert. She never quit learning it until she perfected it. Last New Year's eve, she made the bet caramel custard. As they say practice makes perfect. :)

No way! http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1383818.aspx?p=2#1_7506831 Scan my initial response ; a glance through will do.

hi all knmowing ooh my gosh you donot want to know.My husband worked as a cook. So when we tried o cook together he was always going "no no not that way,do it like this just use the whisk ', he was making a vinaigrette dressing for a salad I had made. Even there nothing I did was just quite right so I learned something,do not expect a cook sho works as a cook to be fun to cook with as he was not ever. lol. and I loved him dearly too.I am a widow now for a Long time but would love to cook with him just one more time. lol

We always do it together. And we divide our roles. I never do the chapatis as I am sick and tired of doing them (making all those different shapes etc) just because I am all alone. I always do the vegetables or even something else on my mind and mood... maybe chowmein rice for the lunch! In the evening for dinner, my wife does the chapatis and I do the other things. And then we do clean up the dishes and other utensils together. It is always so much of fun helping one another.

Oh I'd just love to cook with someone! I think it would be great fun! i've never done it, but can't wait to do it. I love the idea of cooking and baking with your partner. I do remember apple tree season. During apple tree season as a child, we kids would go out and collect apples and at night my mom would light candles and we would peel the apples and make apple pie via candle light. I really liked that experience. I'd like to do that again someday with someone.

thnx for sharing your lovely experience. In fact, after some much exercises, you both might have felt as if stomachs r full ... lol ... though i dont cook regularly, but whenever i cook, my wife n son appreciates the taste. Its perhaps due to un-conventional way of recipe. I can make a lot of items starting from chilly chicken to bread pakoda. But if you will ask me the recipe, even i dont know the proper proper proportion. I do just by idea. But in chapati case, i can only make dough, nothing more.

Haha, well i know it is hard time kneading the dough my sister can't even make good soft chapatis. But mine come up well, they come out so soft like melt in the mouth. Coming to the part of cooking together, wow i would love to experience that one day, i know how interesting it must be for you and your partner to cook, but as you say not everyday, i really don't know how the experience is so might be i would enjoy it or not. but i think it is a good thing to cook together, don't you think?

hi there allknowing, with regard to your post, well, me and my partner used to do the cooking before. for past five years, we almost done cooking together. it really feels great since we used to divide the chores so we can finished the cooking faster. at times, we used to give an idea on how to get it done the quicker way since we used different methods in cooking. aside from that, we used to do the marketing together as well, and i missed all of those. wishing that those sweet gestures can be repeated once again since that situation makes us really feels happy...

it is so fun and we can share a lot when we cook and the work gets reduced for sure and ideally the best thing to do always

I used to cook alot with my ex husband. He loved the kitchen as much as I did. Those were great times together...
