Ok, that may seem like an odd and rather specific question, but this morning, I was making pancakes, and I usually make enough for each of us to have three, and then three or four more to freeze.
I fry them in a cast iron skillet, and that holds three at a time, so that means MrsT gets the first three, then I get the next three, and then the last ones just sit and cool until I wrap them and toss them in the freezer.
This morning, I plated mine up, took the obligatory photos, then poured the next batch of batter in, and stood there and ate my breakfast, standing at the stove all the while, flipping and cooking up the last of the batter.
I realized that I actually do this quite a bit. When we have a first course of salad (which is four or five times a week), I'll plate the salads, hand MrsT hers, while I stay in the kitchen, tending whatever the main course is, and eat my salad there, between turns of stirring this or basting that.
Who else eats while they cook? For some reason, I'm guessing our professional cooks might do that more often? Maybe I'm wrong about that.
