Anthony Bourdain on Learning to Cook
Anthony Bourdain
6/25/ 1956 - 6/8/2018
6/25/ 1956 - 6/8/2018
On learning to cook: “Basic cooking skills are a virtue... the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill. [It’s] as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one’s own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money.”

I Ate the Whole Thing -- Dragonfruit
Dragonfruit
Dragonfruit or Pitaya was the first fresh fruit I met when I arrived in Merida. It was growing on a vine in the backyard of the house where I rented a room.
I was fascinated by the fruit. It was uniquely strange and beautiful. The fruit itself has a mild sweet taste which I liked. You eat the fruit and the seeds.
After washing the whole bulb, I sliced off the end.
Then, I made a slice through the skin with the tip of my knife and cut the skin to the top of the fruit bulb. I peeled away the skin and cut off the tip, pulling the whole skin off. This left a bulb of fruit. I cut the fruit into thin slices and ate whole thing.

The Star of My Kitchen -- the Mabe Refrigerator
III.
ROUGE ET NOIR.
Soul, wilt thou toss again?
By just such a hazard
Hundreds have lost, indeed,
But tens have won an all.
Angels' breathless ballot
Lingers to record thee;
Imps in eager caucus
Raffle for my soul.

The Star of My Kitchen
The Mabe Refrigerator
I rent an apartment. It came furnished. But, I don't have an oven. I am on my fourth two-burner hot plate and it doesn't always work right.
I have few fancy gadgets.
But I love my Mabe Refrigerator. Without a refrigerator, I would be lost.
While I rely heavily on canned goods and my pantry, I marvel at the invention called a Refrigerator.
Where would we be without refrigeration?
Plus, ice cubes!
I try to freeze a lot of leftovers, homemade desserts and chopped vegetables. Plus, I keep some spices in the freezer as well as crushed crackers and cookies for casserole toppings, dessert crusts, and more.
When people say "fresh" fruit or vegetables, those items would have a short-shelf life without the refrigerator.
