Desiree is otherworldly good at cooking. That said, she is at least 15% messier in the process, and she often uses unconventional methods. For example, she uses small bottles to roll swatches of dough for rolls and wraps. She sometimes uses a drinking glass to mash potatoes. And there is the somewhat standard island technique of folding morsels of food in banana leaves to make neat packages for cooking.
In the most recent
presentation of Desiree practicing unusual cooking methods, I found a hair dryer alongside her as she was preparing something to bake.
“Are you using the hair
dryer for cooking?” I asked.
“Yes,” Desiree
answered.
“I gotta know… what are
you using it for, exactly?”
“Melting butter.”
“Gotcha.”
As an electrician, this
made perfect sense to me. I fetched a beer from the refrigerator and carried
on.
