Do not allow watching food to replace making food.
I pay attention to my nails. I have had this particular German nail kit for years, and I take it everywhere. If I don't trim and file my nails, they turn into talons. I cook a lot, too, and I don't like to see bits of food stuck under them.
I am a bit of a gourmet chef. I love cooking mostly Thai food. And a lot of times on movies, you have these trailers that have these little ovens and kitchenettes. A lot of actors never use them, but I would cook lunch just about every day.
I'm Puerto Rican! You can never take my rice, pork, and beans away. Plus, I love to cook. I'm one of those people who stay in the kitchen standing while everything is cooking, checking on everything.
I like a very clean kitchen, and when I'm cooking, I try to clean as I go.
My worst habit in the kitchen is not allowing anybody to help me. I like to cook by myself.
I wash my hands constantly in the kitchen, so they're always dry.
I'm not much of a cook. I used to keep books in my gas oven - until someone told me it was a fire hazard.
I'm a New Yorker; my oven is used for storage.
I don't cook around heat in my underwear.
I am someone who puts their takeout or leftovers into the Tupperware and stores it in the refrigerator overnight.
The mishandling of food and equipment with panache was always admired; to some extent, this remains true to this day. Butchers still slap down prime cuts with just a little more force and noise than necessary. Line cooks can't help putting a little English on outgoing plates, spinning them into the pass-through with reverse motion so they curl back just short of the edge. Oven doors in most kitchens have to be constantly tightened because of repeatedly being kicked closed by clog-shod feet. And all of us dearly love to play with knives.
I only wear red socks in the kitchen. They bring me luck.
