I think I found my calling in life! JK, but I have discovered that I really do like cooking. I enjoy planning out meals (that's the nerd in me), and being able to research different recipes ahead of time so that I will actually have all the special ingredients I need at the time when I want to cook something. Currently I'm experimenting with curry. Made chicken curry last night, and the husband approved, so that's the important part :) Next is fish. My family never really ate fish growing up, so I'm taking tips from Betty Crocker, WHO, by the way, was not a real person. Did you know that? Yeah, that's one of those random facts that I know. It was just a marketing thing. I'm sorry if anyone's world just went crumbling down; I know mine did when I found out. For those of you who want proof, you might find this interesting...
"Q: General Mills didn’t keep it a secret that Betty Crocker wasn’t a real woman, but weren’t they evasive?
MARKS [Interviewee]: Absolutely in the beginning. Betty Crocker was presented as a real person in the ’20s and ’30s. If someone were to write to ask for her picture, they had a set response that Betty didn’t like to have her photograph taken. But starting in the late ’30s, they made the decision to use her but personify her less. (Finding Betty Crocker)"
