First Assignment... Complete!

Things I know how to cook... hmmm... you are putting me on the spot here, aren't you?  I can make rice pilaf, stir fry, potatoes, spaghetti, a few kinds of soup, eggs, some kinds of chicken.  I'm trying to remember things I cooked in Kyrgyzstan... we'll leave it at that for now.  Suffice it to say, my cooking skills are paltry.

I suppose I would like to know how to cook meat.  I mean, I don't eat meat a lot, but that's mostly because I don't really know how to cook it.  I like things that have lots of stuff all mixed together--does that make sense?  Like casseroles.  That sounds kind of old-ladyish, I think.  I'm not restricting it to casseroles.  But dishes that have stuff mixed together.  I don't know, Katie!  Anything!

Yes, cheese is certainly a favorite food.  I like vegetables--pretty much all of them.  I'm not a huge fan of squash or cauliflower, but mixed in with other things I can usually tolerate anything.  I really like sweet potatoes.  I'm not a huge fan of pasta generally, but I wouldn't say it's restricted.  I can't think of any ingredients I would like to be banned. I like chicken and turkey better than beef.  I suppose I would ban ground beef, but only b/c if some type of ground meat was needed, I'd use ground turkey.  But I'm not very picky.

Our range is electric and we do have a/c, so it's not really a concern (although it is getting warmer than I'd like it to be outside).  We have an oven, toaster oven, blender, etc.  Most kitchen appliances that you'd need.  When I move to DC, that will all change, but for now, the kitchen is well-stocked.

I don't know if this is particularly helpful, but there you go!  I look forward to my first actual cooking assignment!
