Top Chef should have a new quick fire: The contestants should have to cook a meal in my mom’s kitchen. It’s not that it’s small. Plenty are smaller. It’s that what you’ll find is hit or miss. Brown sugar from the last century. A teaspoon if vanilla, when you really need a tablespoon. A white substance that I’m going to assume was flour. But I muddled through. I don’t think those Top Chefs could have, though.
I feel like I should give some sort of poignant round-up of 2012, but that’s really not my style. So instead, I’ll leave you with a happy new year. Here’s to hoping 2013 doesn’t suck.
