Why learn any cooking at all when I&#8217;m married to Tamara, who is an infinite expert on the subject.  But as the day wore on, I really got into it and my stuff actually turned out really well.<\/p>\n<p>I got a really cool chef&#8217;s jacket, too.  And we got to bring home a ton of food.  My cranberry sauce turned out amazing.  And brining the turkey is definitely the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>So, for Thanksgiving I&#8217;m actually going to help my wife with the cooking.  I&#8217;m feeling a lot more confidence.<\/p>\n<p>It costs $80,000 to get a degree at this school.  Ridiculous.  For less than that, not to mention not working full time for free for four years, you can just start your own show on a shoe-string.  I&#8217;ve got a pretty dim view of higher education.  I think it&#8217;s a racket.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluetablepainting.com\/view_gallery.php?galleryID=2661\">More pics here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off, I&#8217;m not going to culinary school or any such thing.
