Cooking and baking can be a chore for some while it's almost relaxing for some. We all have those stories about boiling the pan dry or the first time we cooked for a date. Some of us go on to perfect our skills while some cook enough to keep themselves and their families alive.

Although i do have a pretty funny story about my swiss cheese memory! I was making sausage gravyand biscuits, and i had 2 ziploc bags of white powder in my cupboard. I didn't remember ever putting anything else in there so I grabbed a bag and made away. Well, the flour wouldn't brown right and then it wouldn't thicken, i was fit to be tied! I figured i had just screwed up somewhere and thickend it a bit with cornstarch and served it anyway!
My DH took an bite and started spittin & sputterin, i though it was a BIT dramatic, it couldn't possibly be THAT bad!
Until i realized the "flour" was actually powdered sugar!
Man was my face red!!
My best cooking isn't "cooking", actually, but "assembling". A sandwich.
Started at about 5 years old baking bread with grandma.
How did you learn to cook or bake? (trial & error, mom, etc)
From my mom, my grandma, my aunt, a little from two uncles and the rest was eat something, like it, go home and make it.
What was the first meal you made?
Way too long ago to remember but probably roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy and a vegetable.
Do you cook often or seldom?
Only a couple of times a week now that it's just me, but I used to cook a homemade supper everyday when my kids were home.
What is your tried and true, never fail meal to make?
Chicken Cacciatore or Red Gravy Swiss Steak
First meal? I made an omelette for my Mum when I was about 4 or 5.
I cook, from scratch every day.
Venison casserole in the winter, darne of salmon with seasonal veg in summer. Lots and lots of puddings, which I never eat, but family and friends enjoy!
By age of 14 i was making full meals. I love to cook. But I hate washing dishes and since I dont have a dish washer I cool as little as I can these days.
my favorite thing to cook it thanksgiving type dinners, turkeys dressing stuff like that.
How did you learn to cook or bake? Trial and error
What was the first meal you made? I do not remember, but it was probably my moms mac and cheese
Do you cook often or seldom? I cook for my self alot because I like to add different seasonings and the rest of my family does not like a lot of different spices in the same dish.
What is your tried and true, never fail meal to make?Baked chicken: Dip chicken in egg then breadcrumbs.
Great questions, thanks for asking.
2. My momma at first and while visiting my grandma in Cali. I starte really loving to make my own foods and desserts
3. My first meal I made was a traditional breakfast-- eggs, bacon, sausage, 'taters and toast.
4. I always cook, every day every meal,, I'm a stay at home husband
5. That's tough because everything I make is so good, Mr. Modesty,
I can even make a meatloaf that nobody cries and whines about having to eat!!!
I'd say my favorite is Mexican burrito night with all the goodies,,,mmmmmm!
How did you learn to cook or bake? (trial & error, mom, etc) My mother was a big guiding force when it came to cooking and baking. She knows everything, and I learned so much from her!
What was the first meal you made? Oh wow, I don't remember.... My mom and I used to make stuff together. I think the first thing I remember making, was homemade crescent rolls for the fair. I got a purple ribbon.
Do you cook often or seldom? I don't cook very much, but when I move, I might be cooking more.
What is your tried and true, never fail meal to make? Never fail meal? Wow... I'm not even sure. I make a lot of meals. I think the easiest one that I've made that's never-fail, is this concoction in a skillet involving ramen noodles, frozen veggies, and hamburger meat. It's easy, and tastes sooo good! :)
After our three children grew up and left home in the 1980's my need for cooking diminished. It took a couple of years for me to learn to cook for two as I had never done it before. Talk about wasted food!
Now, we throw something on the grill or make a pot of something that last for 2-3 days - not much cooking goes on here. I'm a little rusty now.. :-)
About 2-3 times a year the kids demand some comfort food - namely Chicken Fried Steak, fresh mashed potatoes, PEAS, and cornbread or biscuits, and PIE. Thanksgiving, they cook but we HAVE to take the PIES! And, I still cook Christmas dinner for them all!
1. I started out by helping in the kitchen when I was really young. I am teaching my kid sthe same way.
2. I learned to cook from my mother, grandmother , and going to school for it for two years. Plus I have trained under a chef.
3. I can't remember what the first I made was.
4. I cook every day. Sometimes several times a day.
5. Tuna noodle cassarole or meatloaf in the crock pot.
when I rent an apartment for the first time (away from home)
