Recently, I received an invitation on Facebook from a friend, which I ignored with alacrity, as every invite should be. The purpose of that invite was to test "How gay you are", since all of us are apparently gay at some level.
Today, I was cooking a new recipe. I made something to rival the "Slow cooked Malaysian curry" that I used to enjoy from Gobo in New York. Actually there was no recipe, I was just cooking up stuff extempore. And then I realized - how you cook is the perfect proxy for how anally retentive you are.
On one extreme you, like me, do not use a recipe: you are a rock star, cool, laid back. The sad part is that you will eventually end up getting treated like a dog because you are easygoing. But if you are smart you can poison the philistines who do so.
On the other extreme, your kitchen cabinets are 50% full of beakers, measuring jars, possibly vernier calipers to accurately measure saffron or something. You get upset if there is a drop of extra water in the soup and faint if you have to cook in metric. Practice vomiting at will, because some day you will be poisoned. And restock on the enemas.
So ladies and gentlemen, use this sophisticated recipe of mine (hehe) to gauge the people in your life. If you don't I will create a Facebook application and invite you to use it.
