Hello Julie, Even though at the present I live with a world class chef I was allowed to cook quite young. I wasn't more than maybe 9 when I was allowed to make breakfast on Sunday! My mom made it a big deal.... Kaitlyn is making breakfast! I did take a couple of cooking classes in high school too. You're right, that once you get the basics down then it comes down to using good ingredience and a willingness to try new things.

I'm not certain that it's lack of aptitude, though, and more like lack of interest. Although I've been told I may get a George Foreman grill for Christmas, and I hear they're awesome. I'm an eat out or microwave it kind of person, I suppose. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julie Morales" <mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 1:47 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: Learning to cook > Hi, Cindy.
