Would you care to share? I want to make soft chocolate chip cookies,
but they always end up crispy (IMO). Actually they're not crispy or
soft, sorta in between.... but I want them to be softer.

I will keep an eye for the show. I also have seen an episode in the past of
Burt Wolf's on the "history of food". I will say I like PBS cooking shows
better than the Food Network or the Cooking channel.

We have heard about how the child acts in restaurants. The apple did not

That should usually be possible. And 15 minutes would be a reasonable
window almost always.


In my priority system, phone calls and most events involving cats
should not be allowed to interrupt cooking in almost all cases.
Things don't "crop up" while I'm cooking because I've decided to cook.


Sounds to me like the reasonable flow is somewhere in between what
he is demanding and what you are offering.

(This topic resonates with me as I once was in the situation of taking
night classes that started at 8:00 pm, meaning I had to leave the house
at 7:05 and therefore wanted dinner prepared no later than 6:45.
My partner for several weeks had a lot of trouble meeting this timing,
usually for no real reason other than not doing the prep in the right
sequence. Before the end of the semester they got it down, though.)

20 minute meals would be a miracle for me if it was any more
complicated than heating leftovers or making a sandwich. Just cooking
rice in a rice cooker takes 20 minutes.

Thankfully, my military husband was raised with manners, which served
him well in the military environment, especially the social functions.
And he's just fun to be around!

I like the fact that they have foods I have never tried or never heard
of. It reminds me that I should try new foods more regularly and it
gives me ideas of what to look for when I'm shopping - Aynthing I have
not heard of before or have not tried yet.

I learn a lot from watching Iron Chef. The chefs (either one) are
just using pre-existing recipes for the items they prepare. The part
that interests me is how they change out ingredients to meet the
mystery food challenge by substituting a particular meat or vegetable
item. It broadens my thinking when preparing food at home. I keep a
decently supplied pantry at home (not anything like a lot of you do)
and I like to put meals together from what I have in the house and
garden. the challenging chef on Iron Chef isn't someone I would call
desperate. They are looking for competitive recognition and
advertising for their own venue. And the contestants on Chopped are
cooking up heartrending stories to influence the judges. I really
find that show a deplorable and sleazy attempt to copy the network's
successful reality shows. Ick.
