Cooking with Jess


I'm not sure how I've got this reputation... but apparently in my circle of friends I'm know as the cook. In all honestly, between my sister, my mom and I, I am the worst cook. But I guess here at college if you can actually make something like bread, pie, or a meal that doesn't come from a box, you are considered a gourmet chef :-) hehehe I think it's rather funny. For example... yesterday my ward had break the fast and the activity co-chair handed me a 10 lbs Ham and asked me to have it cooked by 4:30...
Is he nuts?! A 10 lb ham in a hour? Luckily it was already pre-cooked... but still... this ham had been sitting on his balcony for a few days... so it wasn't exactly thawed...
I just turned up the heat on the oven and high as I thought I could get without burning it poured a Sprite and some brown sugar on top and started cooking...
It turned out pretty well... although the middle was only warm... I think the basting with the warm Sprite and brown sugar helped at least the outside get hot...
I think that if everyone here is so cooking hanicapped that they should require at least one cooking class as a GE... I mean, we have to take Physical Science... why not make us take something more useful like a cooking class? :-)
