Cooking 101

From everystockphoto.comI have tapered of posting of recipes here, because I am redoing my food site and will pretty much be putting all recipes there. Well, eventually.

But I found this recipe tonight and just had to share it. I like to cook, and I am mmm… above average maybe. I have friends that are great cooks, some that are better at baking, and some that if asked will state that they can’t even boil water.

This is for them…

Like many people, I enjoy the moist aroma and sinus-soothing vapors from a pot of boiling water. But it is often difficult to get a roiling boil just the way you remember it as a child. In my quest to perfect boiled water I began by collecting a dozen different recipes ranging from family hand-me-downs to restaurant standbys. But none of these recipes produced a water boil precisely as I remember it. Some were too slow and too dilute while others were dense and tough. All of the recipes shared a few typical ingredients, such as water. But otherwise they had little in common.
