much respect. if you love the cuisine, you will love the country, unless you've been.

I have never made those noodles but the best soup I’ve had in my life was at an airport in Japan. Soba noodles with a great broth and a perfectly cooked egg. Amazing.

yeah once you eat them in Japan, no where else really compares
Enjoying some leftover pizza, for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Had some Zelda's pizza (in Sacramento on 21st Street) last night for the first time in over a decade and it was great. I don't wander over to that part of town very often, so I was glad to go again.

Weird confession here (to me at least, although I am sure that some out there might find it "normal")...
I do not like to cook (I don't know what it is about cooking, but it just doesn't excite me enough to grab my interest long enough for me to be able to produce something that tastes like something), HOWEVER...
I will watch about any, and every, cooking show out there that sparks my interest (Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, along with a few others).

I wouldn't go so far as to say that I like to cook, but I like having control over what goes into my food. Especially when it comes to seasoning; my s**t's not always the best, but no one will ever call my food bland. That said, I do like grilling; I find myself volunteering to man the grill at pretty much every family gathering.
I wouldn't watch a cooking show on a dare, though.

I’m exactly the same. Love eating all types of food, watching all the shows, but absolutely despise cooking. My doordash bills are next level…like…I’ve legitimately wondered if my household is their #1 customer.

do you know how to cook or has anyone in your family cooked for you in the past or present?

I really didn't feel like grocery shopping today.
I can work with Mike and Ike's (although there's at least four other flavors I would have gone with before I settled on Original), hard pass on the rest.
I love how they make a 500-calorie box of candy look like a 110-calorie box of candy with one simple trick
We took our son to Sheldon Inn Restaurant and Bar for his 20th birthday this evening (Elk Grove/Sheldon area for those local to Sacramento) and the food there is always great. I got the double cut pork chop with a stout marinade and a brandy mustard cream sauce. Delish. that place is highly recommended.

I love to cook and love cooking shows. I do 80% of the household cooking.

Do I know how to cook? Some stuff (very basic, though).
Has anyone in my family cooked for me (past or present)? My mom is an excellent cook. My sister can cook as well. My brother enjoys it himself, but not as much as my mom and sister. My brother-in-law, as well, is a good cook.

do you ever watch them cook?

Periodically, yes. Not my mom so much, as most of her cooking is done while I am working. But, if we're ever all together (as a family), and my brother and brother-in-law are making breakfast (for example), I will roam around and see what they're doing.
Admittedly, I probably watch cooking shows more than I watch my own family in the kitchen.
Denver's getting warmer now, but a couple days ago when it snowed we made Tom Kha Gai. So good.

do you think you don't like cooking because you aren't comfortable doing it properly? Long term, home cooking saves you lots of money and is much better for you than eating out constantly because you know what's in your food and how it's prepped.
