The problem with the way I cook is that I never learned how. In my parents house that was "woman's work." Men DID NOT DO IT. So mom never taught me ("if you want to eat good, get a good woman to cook for you")

I took a cooking class one, that said it wss basic, but I didn't know the first thing about half the techniques everyone took for granted.

Its why I cook very simply or VERY slowly. When I want some thing good, that isn't just a broiled slab of meat, I eat frozen dinners.

I actually consider the fact that I can't cook beyond a basic subsistence level a failure of mine.

That's okay. Anyone can learn at any time. If you want to continue this discussion off-line, drop me a line at jessie_c_2(at)hotmail(dot)com and I'll offer to coach you through some simple techniques if you want...

What are those techniques "everyone takes for granted"? If I can walk you through them perhaps that class wouldn't be so intimidating next time around?
