thirtysomething...

Whenever I'm cooking for a party, I generally like to do most of the cooking a day before if possible. Nobody is around getting in my way, "You're doing that wrong", or "That's not the way I do it." Whatever. You're not cooking are ya. And I don't have to rush about the day of trying to get everything ready. Finding out I'm missing or run out of ingredients 2 hours before everyone sits down to dig in really SUCKS.

My neighbors probably have a Love/Hate relationship with me when I'm doing said cooking because I BLAST music while I'm in the kitchen. They love the smells, but hate the music cranked up from one end of the house to the other. And the house we live in, and most houses in England for that matter, share a common wall. I Know they can hear the music, I can hear them screaming at their children all day long & vice-versa...

Here's the odd bit. I'm blasting Metallica. :hehe: I generally don't listen to Metal all that much. Really only when I'm cooking like this. And it's been going ALL DAY LONG. :D

So my question to you, dear reader, is this: Are you Cranking the Tunes when you're creating mouth-watering delicacies for your flock of seagulls peeps? Yeah? Whatcha jamming to?

:rock:

P.S. Two days ago I also decided to NOT DRINK BEER while playing with knives in the kitchen. My fingers tend to get in the way of the knife and the succulents needing to be chopped. Especially vegetables.

Sad but True.
