I have been to Paris. I know the finer brands. I like shrimp scampi. I like to shop.
I am a professional cook. I have been published in the new yorker magazine. I have agoraphobia. My phobia keeps me from enjoying shopping.
so what have you been cooking lately? Our restaurant just re-did the menu. We are calling it "farmhouse modern."  What are some of your favorite dishes from the menu? I really enjoy classics done right. We've got this perfect roast chicken with potatoes. The chicken fat melts right into the potatoes. That sounds amazing. Do you like to cook the same types of things at home that you do at work? To be honest, I don't cook I home. It feels like bringing my work home with me. I do a lot of carryout. Also feels good to support my colleagues. You a big home cook? I'm obviously not as skilled as you, but I do enjoy cooking quite a bit. I generally stick to the standard type stuff.  Did you read my article in the New Yorker? You'd like it. All about home cooking basics. I did not, you should send me the link. I would be really interested in reading it. I love the New Yorker, so it'd be right up my alley. I always say, it's amazing articles about topics you never even realized you wanted to read about. I did include some Shrimp scampi info in there. Did you know scampi is just italian for "shrimp?" So Shrimp Scampi translate to Shrimp Shrimp Ha! I did not know that. I'm really excited to read it, though! It's awesome knowing someone who was published in such a prestigious magazine. I feel lucky for all the support around me. Wouldn't have accomplished half as much if it weren't for them. Would just be an agoraphobic staying home.
