I know for a fack I'm a natural eater and drinker.

Yeah well see my timeline above. Cooking the roux is at the beginning of the preparation of a meal which also is about the time of cocktail hour, or was in my parents home. This meant the reason she got tired of stirring the roux was because the stainless container needed to be filled with Bombay gin, a fume of vermouth and ice and shaken, never stirred. After mastering the stirring the roux I was moved to the new station of shaking the martinis at which time I developed an acquired taste for them that continues to this day. So again....with over 40 years experience I'd say I'm a natural in that department as well. Actually I'd go a step farther and say I've been All-Pro for many years and am a most certain Hall of Fame first ballot inductee.

And I can cook long grain rice, just not in jambalaya and get it right. My wife can so I defer and claim I've got a whole lotta shakin to do.
