Comments on: Why I Cook http://www.casscooks.com/i-digress/why-i-cook/ Frugal Gourmet meets Scarlett O'Hara Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:06:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Nellie http://www.casscooks.com/i-digress/why-i-cook/#comment-16 Nellie Tue, 12 Aug 2008 01:12:02 +0000 http://www.casscooks.com/?p=19#comment-16 Your grandmother did not teach me to cook. My grandpa taught me quite a bit when I was only a child of about 10, but after he passed away, my lessons ended and so did the little cooking that I did. My Aunt Mary told me how to fry good fish. A beautician told me how to make biscuits that would not be hard and tough. A high school classmate told me how to cook rice so that the grains would separate. You might could say that I am a self taught cook. I do like to cook if I have the meal planned and have ample time to cook it, rather than rushing to get it done. I do not like to cook in a hustle and bustle environment. If other things are going one, I want to be a part of that - not in the kitchen. Yes, I do like to cook but do not care for trying new recipes, the old standards are tasty and just fine. Your grandmother did not teach me to cook.
