Human Abilities

[Chef C Green]

nigga please my steak is way better. I make my dough and sauce from scratch on my pizza. I also make cream corn pancakes taste like they were made by the food network gods.

Pssh, you wanna talk about steak. Try dry aging porterhouse steaks for two weeks, searing them at temperatures exceeding 1000F, then slowly baking to a medium rare temperature of 120F and allowing to coast/rest up to 125-130F. Only seasonings you need on a good steak are salt, pepper, and MAYBE a few dashes of Worcestershire. I went steak crazy for a time.

But anyway;

Cook: Food Science Undergrad at the moment, but saying I love to cook would be a gross understatement. Breads are my favorite, followed by desserts (of course). Top 5: Tiramisu, Rosemary Bread (a.k.a. Biddy Bread), Croquembouche, Jambalaya (simple goodness), Bread Pudding (other simple goodness). For the bread pudding, try adding the cookie parts of oreos into the dried bread, and add the cream to your "custard" base, it's like a cookies and cream bread pudding when it's done .

Ice-skate: This was an interesting date... she was on Zero's level, while I was happy gliding with my legs firmly locked so as not to go into, yet another, split. Difficulty rating: High (stretch those legs before walkin' on that ice).

Bike riding: WIN! Since I go to school in the city, this is my mode of transportation everywhere. Get groceries, go to class, and just leisure rides in or around the city. Not hard, I tend to ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars

Scuba Diving: Great fun, and you don't need to be a scientist to do it (though expenses can get rough). I started learning when I was back in middle school, my dad takes people on dive charters up and down the east coast. Just remember to keep an eye on your air gauge, don't lose your buddy (or the anchor line >.>, not fun), and if you are worried about the bends, don't rush the decompression! Looking to get re-breather and cave-diving certified, it's hard getting in the hours needed during school breaks.

Truck Driving: My first vehicle ^_^. Still my chevy silverado, 8ft bed, extended cab. While I'll admit driving anything longer than 15ft is a pain, how you handle it in a city area is what sets apart men from the boys. Parallel parking, need i say more =P

Camping: Not my best skill granted (DAMNIT! STOP SELF-COLLAPSING, TENT POLES!), but I keep a sleeping bag and tent in the truck at all times. Love to go somewhere on the spur of the moment and just camp .

Smoke: Cross-J's, Vapes, Naga (small bubbler), and El Toro (circ-circ WP). My personal preference to relaxation; alcohol is all fine and good, but this keeps me in a better state of mind. While I won't condone everyone trying it, for some, the activity is worth experiencing for yourself.

Being a Gentleman: Difficult if you have to pick it up later in life. My mamma taught me well though

Getting Dressed: Not only working up the momentum to get out of bed and reach into your closet, but that whole "fashion" concept. I'm getting better, but so was Squidward and his people skills. Both need a lot of work =x

Travel: Not so much the going to crazy exotic places, but being open-minded and receptive to the traditions and cultures of where you go. For instance, there's nothing worse than going Japan and having that one american person who doesn't want to try new things, makes your excursions miserable, and stays at the resort with all the white-folk. It's difficult to ignore our initial judgements of people and culture, but understanding their POV will make the experience so much better.
