You seem to know your way around the kitchen. I just took up cooking as a hobby. I know a lot about food (you’d be surprised), but I need to develop the skills needed to prepare quality food.
As a little kiddo, as I watch my grandmother and/or mother cooking, it all seemed like "magic" to me, so I decided to learn how to cook, bake, and my grandmother taught me how to decorate cakes and make candy. Throughout the ensuing years, I've managed to learn and perfect my skills.
I have always believed that it is an important life skill, for boys & girls, men & women to know how to cook and cook well. Throw in knowing how to sew on a button, make a bed, and do laundry, and manage money are things that everyone should do how to do.
One doesn't necessarily have to become a gourmet cook, but cooking well ( also knowing HOW to pick out produce, meat, poultry, and fish ) really is NOT all that difficult to do! It is an enjoyable hobby, is much cheaper and often healthier than eating out, as well. :-)
Oh I probably wouldn't be surprised re how much you know about cooking; after all your posts have been proof of that. :-)
