In a scale from 1 to 5, where do your cooking skills fall? What would be your signature dish? Noodles and chips don't count. )

Id say im about a three. 
I can maneuver my way around some shrimp scampi with garlic sauce over linguini, with a side of medium rare steak. 
You?

  • How impressed do you want you want to be )
    Pizza bases? check.
    Custard from scratch? check.
    Pastry? yes.
    Pies? well you know all about that.
    Cooking everything from scratch? yes.

    But here's a little secret. I cannot cook a soft-boiled egg. I've approached the whole soft-boiling thing scientifically and still fail.

    So the old addage - 'I can't even boil an egg' actually applies. I will overcome.

  • It's ok, Its not your fault, I heard that in England, like in Norway, the water boils in the opposite direction. So I understand.  )

  • What what? 
    If it's the last thing I do it will be soft-boil an egg. It is my oeufy Moby Dick, my eggy nemesis.

    What can't you do, just curious. Probably not a lot because you will tell it why it's wrong and why you're right and to do as it's told.

  • Between a 2 and 3. I can make really great homemade pancakes and my chicken and dumplins turn out really well too. I make my own dumplins, not just pinching off canned biscuit dough and throwing it in.

  • Finally, a pancake aficionado.
    Edges?
    When you say homemade, you mean scratch?
    I can't figure out how to make pancakes from scratch, without them tasting really eggy, with sort of a gummy texture. So I do Box. (
    Good one on the dumplings!!
    Thanks K.
