Education leads to a better life

I have aways enjoyed learning. My primary goal is to find a career that best fits me.

It’s family night “my time to cook”

I’m about to cook a lasagna with some corn on the cob, and garlic bread. I thought I would go ahead with my post before I get away from the computer and forget to blog.
My grandmother did one on one cooking instructions with me when I was little. I think everyone should learn how to cook. Not everyone needs to become a chef, but knowing the basics is must.
When we cook, we save money and we eat healthier. Also, we never know in what kind of situation we are going to find ourselves. And since we all have to eat, it just seems logical that knowing a little bit about cooking will come in handy sometimes in life. This is also a good time to hang out with family and even get kids in the kitchen for some one on one.
So go into the kitchen and start with simple things. Scramble an egg, or cook some pasta; make some mashed potatoes or steam some vegetable. If the food does not taste as good the first or second time, it is ok, you are learning, keep trying. You will find, before you know it, you are having a dinner party.
I don’t know where I heard this, but I think some of you may have heard this before”some people eat to live and some live to eat,” I live to eat.

  1. Can I come over and eat at your house? :) My mom has been trying to teach me how to cook since I was little. It has never really gone that well. I'll put it to you this way, when I moved into my apartment in Chicago, I tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich on the stove and ended up burning the shape of the sandwich in the pan. So didn't know you could do that. now I can at least make things that come out of the box and one casserole and that is it. Woo hoo!! But, for the safety of the kitchen, my mom does most of the cooking. As I said, can I come and eat at your house? :D

  2. I'm glad I just finished eating, or I would be hungry!
