Cooking is an Art. Yeah,Right. Love watching those cooking shows on tv.
Sitting here, today, I realize cooking is an Art, on TV.
Love listening how they explain all the steps, to prepare your food.
When I’m cooking my house is still dusty, laundry sitting in a corner—unfolded.
Kids in the room—did I mention Loud. No fancy dishes, trays, cooking wear.
As for my appearance—let’s just say—I’m dressed—maybe hair combed.
Yes, PJ’s count as dressed. Haha.
I cooked more homemade, back then. Now I cook more like Sandra Lee’s
Semi-homemade. LOVE skipping steps, if that gets me out of the kitchen.
My meals never cost Ten Dollar Meals with Melissa. Cause most of the food
they pick, my family won’t Eat.
Come on, seriously if I placed a beautiful platter with their version of chicken,
Dean would be the first one making a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.
We have no class when it comes to gourmet meals. Haha.
Myself, I’d like to try some of these fancy menus. Who kidding, I couldn’t
be a chef. I have my own style. I should have my own show. Title it:
Resturant Impossible. Haha Bamm. Haha.

Where’s my lipstick?

I love a laugh, but not about the job I had. I was a homemaker. Making meals a part of “home” and making them feed on many levels was a big part of it. They were to feed the body of my children to make them strong so I studied nutrition. They were a gathering together of the family to share together and make our family strong. I was careful of the color scheme so they looked appetizing. Table talk was important. My cooking was serious business. Part of the training of the table was to teach enjoyment of many different foods, so each had to take one bite even of what they said they didn’t like and they learned to like many foods. They learned many things at the family dinner table. We all learned a lot about loving and accepting each other at that table.

My friend took in children for Social Services, usually ones with drug abuse history. These children, every one of the over 200 of them, had a history of grabbing something from the frig but not of family meals.

You are right in saying cooking is an art.
Before I got married I was living at home and mum had a lady
to make our meals for us so I never really learned to cooked.

When I got married, I decided to try a beef roast.
I like beef and I thought - hey it must be easy, just whack some
sauce over it & some herbs and chuck it in the oven.
Well just imagine I cooked my beef roll in half and hour.
It was so tough we coulldn't eat it. I gave it to our dog,
and he would not eat it either. :D

So I started experimenting recipes from cooking books and
after years of trial and error, I can say I'm quite good at
making different types of meals now.
But I still have not tried the "beef roll".

That's just how it is lol

Really though, I've worked in a Kitchen and its anything but a art - more a potshot. Most of the time we didn't care if the people liked it or not, it was hard work and if they didn't - too bad!
