What's the GOAL? (in this crazy blog...)

I've been working on this for a little over two weeks... where's the finish line? There's got to be a line to cross (ok, no comments from the peanut gallery - yes, we've crossed many...).

So, here it is..
MY GOAL: 100 Recipes - in the Professional Chef Textbook. Is that enough to learn the basics of cooking like a professional chef - using nothing but the written word (in any format)? Obviously, it won't be everything.. but I want to know is 100 recipes enough to understand the basics - from sauces to poultry to vegetables? Where are the areas that simply must be taught in class? Any ideas?

Wish me luck! #1 and 2 are done... 98 to go!!
