I used to use a cookbook all the time when I was a kid but don't really
need one anymore. My favorite cookbook would be Craig Claiborne's
Kitchen Primer. I have a paperback copy of that somewhere. It's a keeper!

I watched a Filipino lady cook some chicken curry for my mother-in-law
this afternoon. I enjoy watching people that know how to cook.
Hopefully, I didn't get too much in her way. I was surprised at how much
garlic she used and shocked at the amount of ginger - about a quarter
cup. She finely chopped the ginger which is the way I would do it. It
was pretty tasty too!
