The Evening Fizz

  So, first of all... I have no idea why I named my night post "The Evening Fizz". All I know, is that it makes me laugh like Brendan Fraser  for some reason.... If you have some better suggestions , feel free to send them.

 Tonight's ramble has to do, basically, with the definition of "cooking"...

 I've never been ashamed to admit, that I'm not the greatest cook... I actually lived in an apartment from Nov.2005- Nov.2006, in which I managed to not use the oven ONCE... True story.. However, since those days, I woke up,  and realized how much money I could save by not going to a restaurant/ ordering in every night...

   So, I learned how to "cook"

   By MY definition,  since I heat items from raw to cooked; I know how to cook!!! However, to this day, I still get mocked.

  "You don't cook, you heat up!", they'll say..... This, I don't really understand.

   What constitutes "cooking"?!

  For example: Tonight I made a ham stuffed chicken breast from Longos with a pseudo caprese salad (bocconcini cheese, tomatoes, ground thyme, basil, sea salt, black pepper, balsamic reduction and a touch of olive oil)

  
No, I didn't stuff the chicken myself, but I did bake it for 30 minutes and add my own spices... No, I didn't reduce the balsamic personally, but I did cut up the cheese/tomatoes and seasoned them.....

 So did I "cook" this meal?! I would say that I did! Which would mean that, I KNOW HOW TO COOK! Right??

 What's your definition? Do I know how to cook, or should I stick to the microwave?
