When I was growing up it was repeatedly impressed on me that I would never find a good Christian husband if I couldn't learn to cook.
Naturally, I stayed out of the kitchen entirely and willfully remained ignorant to the secrets of boiling water and turning on the oven thingy.
Now that I have been removed from the insufferable environment of the Southern Baptist patriarchy for more than a decade, I have a taken an interest in the operation of the oven thingy and the boiling of water- among other necessary kitchen maneuvers.
Today I made these:
Tomorrow, I will make a double layered cake with strawberry and vanilla.
I bought a used cookbook for $1 from the library and it has the recipes for Mint Juleps and Apple Butter.
I'm looking forward to making them.
This is aided by the fact that my partner also likes to cook and doesn't expect me to "make him a sandwich" and let him do all the thinking for both of us.
This may be a very gratifying confession to the three women who tried to teach me to cook.
Mom, Donna and Shankari, thanks for your time and patience!
