YOU KNOW YOU ARE A DIE HARD COOK/CHEF AND FOODIE WHEN…

• Buying every size of Microplane grater is at the top of your birthday or Christmas wish list. 
• By the mention of these names; Robuchon, Ducasse, Keller, Bocusse, Boulud, Adria… your heart palpitates and you suddenly kneel.
• Your favorite toy is a blow torch.
• The most important thing in your everyday life is your knife and that if ever anyone lay a hand on it… you are sure you will find yourself giving them a very sharp look.
• After dealing with food the whole day (a whole week), your idea of relaxation is to sit like a burnt out corpse in front of the tv watching one whole season of TOP CHEF.
• You realize that the greatest irony in your life which you suffer everyday is that, you cook, you bake, your eyes and nose are saturated with food (sight, smells and aroma) yet always end up losing your appetite… not really a bad thing if you want to lose weight.
• When you are watching a cooking show on tv hosted by a “well known” Chef and that Chef suddenly suggest this “To test if your oil is hot, sprinkle some water into it, if it crackles… it is hot.” and you are like “WHAT A DUMB B__CH!!! YOU WANT TO BURN THE FACES OF PEOPLE WHO WATCH YOU AND FOLLOW YOUR DUMB BUTT SUGGESTION?!!!”. Then you find yourself in bad need of Anger Management the next day. Ouff!!! 
• You suddenly became too critical of everyone’s cooking… even your own mother’s pork chops which when you were a kid you LOVE her jerky-like pork chops and now you mentally (yes, just mentally) complain how she over-cooked it.  

• Foie Gras = your idea of a wholesome orgasm.
