Abstract
Do you feel inspired when you watch cooking shows? Boy, they make it look so easy don't they? All of the processes that turn an ordinary meal into something spectacular are really dependent on who stirs, minces and sautés them. I wanted to see if I could make some truly remarkable meals using all the information and tricks I'd gathered while watching midday cooking, so I sat down and wrote out a menu that would not only embrace the four food groups, but would put the gathering of family and friends back into my dining room. I began with something simple: hard boiled eggs. Now looking back on this project I can say that some of the things you need to make a meal successful are all of the ingredients, some good pots and pans, decent bakeware and a proper cooking apparatus. Unfortunately, I didn't possess ANY of those things so my meals became mysterious adventures that only I could produce.
