Jonathan The Sous Chef

Hey folks,

For those reading this blog (which is probably just myself at this point) just know that it is a project three months in the making. No, I didn't take the extra time to fine-tune to my writing skills. Nor did I seek to make this blog eye-popping with colorful backgrounds, visually appealing fonts, or impressive graphics.

Truth be told...I'm simply lazy.

Yet, the idea of having a central place to share my thoughts, feelings, and important life events with others led me to push my couch potato ways aside (at least for the 15 minutes it took to write this piece) and put a little bit of myself out there for the world to see.

It's going to be a bumpy ride, but stick around. You might learn something (or see for yourself just how boring my life truly is).

Today was an epic day in the life of Jonathan Terry. I finally learned a skill that I've talked about pursuing for years now. I pulled out my measuring cups, readied my spatula, and learned how to cook.

OK, so I'm no Emeril Lagasse, but I did take a step in the direction of independence today when Miss Kimberly Walden and myself decided to cook ourselves a romantic dinner at home.

Tonight's Recipe: Chicken Cordon Blue, Mashed Potatoes, and Creamed Corn.

Here I am rolling the chicken around in bread crumbs.

Kimberly anxiously awaits our tasty meal.

The chicken cordon bleu turned out better than expected.
We filled a boneless chicken breast with ham and mozzarella cheese.

I inhaled my dinner in one big bite.

All in all, tonight's little adventure was very exciting for both Kimberly and myself. It went so well, in fact, that my parents have already informed me that next time we cook we better prepare enough for the entire family.

Don't you think they are putting a little too much pressure on me so early in my professional cooking career?

I do.

Thanks for reading,
Jonathan T.
