Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

One of my favorite hobbies is cooking. I love cooking.  Everyone asks, "How can you cook when you work with food all day?"  I don't know.  I guess it goes to the 'if you love what you do...' notion of things.  But I do love cooking.  I love the challenges it provides.  New recipes I try and new recipes I create.  They're all the same - a challenge to make it better than I did before. Better than anyone else.  No, not in order to brag about prowess or any of that nonsense.  In fact, it makes me somewhat uneasy when someone proclaims 'how good a cook Baine is,' or any like comments.  I'm just glad that someone likes it!  After all, my cooking is essentially my taste.  All one is saying when they love my food is that they love my taste.  Bon Appetit with Baine!
