Something BIG happened two weeks ago. Something absolutely monumental. Something that shocked me as much as the day Matt proposed or the day I found out we were moving to the other side of the world...
Matt cooked.
OK, I'm not talking ramen noodles here. I'm talking all out, chef-style cooking. He chopped. He sauteed. He seasoned. And me? Well, let's just say I had to pick my jaw up off the floor before I could start taking pictures. I've been with Matt for seven years now and he's never once cooked (he will dispute this post later by claiming that he's "cooked" poke, a popoular Hawaiian recipe consisting of chopped up raw fish and seasonings...no cooking required!).
Jokes aside, I had a feeling that Matt was capable of cooking a good meal. It's just, well...he's never had to. At least not for me. Imagine my surprise when he came home one night and insisted on making dinner. Why the sudden desire to do it? Enter Chef Curtis Stone, a frequent guest on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" who teaches the contestants how to cook and eat healthy. There was this one episode where he taught one of the contestants how to make turkey chili on a baked potato. Though I didn't think much of it...apparently, Matt did. He just couldn't get it off of his mind!
So family...friends...for the first time ever, it is my pleasure to introduce you to....
Absolutely! My man can cook!

Chef Matt! Despite my best efforts, Chef Matt refused to wear an apron. I think he would have looked as cute as can be...maybe next time ;)
Chef Matt can chop like nobody's business!
While I'm no mind reader, I'm pretty sure Chef Matt is thinking "It sure does feel good to be cooking. Maybe I'll do this more often. Maybe I'll even alternate nights with my wonderful wife." Yep, I'm prety sure that's EXACTLY what he was thinking.
Looks like Chef Matt can handle TWO pans at the SAME time. Uh-oh...looks like Chef Kim may have a little competition! Was all of this fancy hand work worth it in the end???
Way to go Matt!!!!
