Dunning Kruger of cooking?

So first off I'm not trained in any professional sense and I've more or less learned via the hard way... trial and error.. I'm a slow learner. I'm finding that concepts while generally easy for me to grasp, I generally only grasp the basics if that and then years later go.. Hey would you look at that. So it applies this way as well or .... I guess it's just getting a broader understanding of things...

So I'm thinking about what the basics of cooking would look like. I watched a ton of cooking shows growing up. The former SF Cordon Bleu school, CIA, Jeff Smith, Julia, Jacque, and others.

Read a fair number of books, but it was getting my head around techniques.. having this properly explained would have helped. I learned a lot about quality food products from watching cooking shows, and I guess more or less the basics to some extent. Though the fact it took over 20 years for me to get it all together... see... this.. this whole post right now...

So one of the things I've been conscious of is what I say, and I know a goooooood portion of it comes off in a negative context. So one of the things I have been pontificating to myself about, is to what degree does it actually affect others.

Then I have a part of me going, but the majority of the population is barely aware of existence outside their own skulls.

Anyway... I've developed my cooking skills to a point that I continue to improve... the successful Indian this week is proof... and with that.. I am on the verge of tears happy about.

Ohh. yeah.. craving Hawaiian... chicken and rice and mac salad.

Maybe musubi...
