Kitchen Diva said:My mother cannot cook and I'd cry whenever she told me she was making either pork chops or lasagna. Mom's lasagna HAD to be served in a bowl- it was that runny and it lacked serious amounts of cheese. And her pork chops were so dry that while cutting one of them into slices I started a fire from the dryness and friction from my knife.
My whole family is full of mediocre cooks my grandmother was a fairly decent one, so the entire family is amazed that I've been blessed with the genes of a future chef!
For me, it's in my blood. I come from a long line of good cooks - and from a family where everyone cooks...including all of the men. My brothers are both excellent cooks.
I married a man who knows how to make a fried egg - if you like them brown and crispy on the bottom.:yuck:, and can make macaroni and cheese from a box, if his 4 yr. old is helping him. Our son is already showing signs of being a great cook though! He loves to make me pretend meals....one of his specialties is chocolate chip soup! I am determined that in this one area...(there is another area too though) he will be more like me than his dad. He is going to know how to cook!
(the other one is that he will travel and live in other places....DH has lived within a one mile radius his entire life....and I cannot fathom that!)
