SOUS-CHEFFIN'

I'm lucky to be in a relationship wherein both of us love (and are both awesome at) cooking. On any given night, at least one of us wants to cook dinner, or wants to treat the other to dinner out. It works out well, to say the least.

My favorite arrangement is when I play sous chef to his chef. Teamwork! I love preparing, washing, and chopping all the raw ingredients and having them ready (and organized beautifully, of course) for Micah to do his chef-thing with. Maybe it's the order-driven Virgo in me, or the infographic-inspired art director - but there's nothing prettier than a plate or cutting board full of neatly sliced/chopped/diced veggies that are about to be made (by someone else) into a delicious meal.
