I know everyone on FR declares Anthony Bourdain to be an Uber Liberal and ther is no doubt he has Liberal as well as conservative leanings, but how Conservative is this?
“I do think the idea that basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one’s own ass, cross the street by oneself, or be trusted with money.”
I taught my child the same way.
More from Bourdain:
“Don’t lie about it. You made a mistake. Admit it and move on. Just don’t do it again. Ever”
“What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?”
“We know, for instance, that there is a direct, inverse relationship between frequency of family meals and social problems. Bluntly stated, members of families who eat together regularly are statistically less likely to stick up liquor stores, blow up meth labs, give birth to crack babies, commit suicide, or make donkey porn. If Little Timmy had just had more meatloaf, he might not have grown up to fill chest freezers with Cub Scout parts.”

I agree that cooking should be taught ti the young.
It’s an important skill.
Eating a meal that someone cooked with love for you is one of the nicest things on the planet.
The first thing I learned to cook was a grilled cheese sammich!
