Good luck- I hope everything goes well- how long is the course?

One day a week for one or two years, depending on how well I do. And thanks for the wishes.

If you don't pass it within 2 years, do they kick you out and tell you that you're a hopeless retard who'd be lucky to get a job stuffing turkeys in a factory?

Probably that.

What sorts of things will you learn?  How to be a chef?

Perhaps I could be the next Gordon Ramsay... Who'd think it?

[Callaway]

Do you already know how to cook?

[The_P]

Do you already know how to cook?

I know basic stuff, like peeling your veg, putting things in the oven -- that kind of thing. I suppose you know that autistics can have difficulty with that stuff -- my mate can't even make a cup of tea.

Yujiro Hanma -- the anime version of me.

Look at him in all his glory as he delivers the deathblow to Doppo Orochi's head:



The King vs. The Tiger Slayer. Great fight.

The only veg I peel are onions.

That's good to know. Am I supposed to be impressed?

No, you're supposed to question the point of peeling veg.  What's it meant to accomplish?

Yes, I know.  I have trouble doing more than one thing at the same time.  If I try, sometimes I accidentally leave things out of the recipe or I forget the time and burn things.  I can peel carrots and potatoes, but I need a vegetable peeler to do it.  My mother could peel them with a paring knife, but I can't.  I never could learn how to make American biscuits, which I guess you might call a scone, even though my grandmother tried to teach me for a long time.  She did not use a recipe, which seemed very strange to me.

I have been working with my daughter teaching her how to cook some simple things in the microwave oven.  I think she could make a cup of tea, if she wanted to.

Be careful when boiling water in the microwave.  It can become superheated and explode when you disturb it.

Roast dinners taste better with unpeeled veg.
