STOP THE PRESSES

I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to spit it out...I, don't actually hate/despise, want to choke at the thought of, would rather die at the notion of, cringe at the idea of, throw a chair through a window at the sight of......COOKING!!!

What brought on this change of heart? After many noble  attempts from my fellow comrades, Melinda has hit me at the time of my life where I have the TIME, energy, and means to cook. So not only has my hatred of cooking decreased, it was actually shifted in the opposite direction! Yeah! I'm sure there's pigs a flying somewhere on the other side of the world, fault lines being shifted, and Hell must have become a cooler climate.

Here is a previous visual of the hatred I spent the last solid 23 years of my life experiencing.
(I don't really hate horses they just scare me)

Alton Brown plays a key role in this monumental transformation. He explains cooking in terms of science, something I thoroughly enjoy. I like to know the why's of cooking. It's enjoyable, and he's freaken hilarious.

In the past little while I have made (with a little emotional support form my mother)  Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese and Lasagna rolls. and COMPLETELY by myself for the first time in my life, I made cookies. The Chewy, Three Chocolate Cookies, Cinnamon Rolls, and Cheesecake! AaO!
