Just a thought, about what I read on FB

15. My mother was a non cook

My mother absolutely despised cooking and during the week, when my dad was on the road, it was Campbell's soup and sandwiches.

She was thrilled when TV dinners came out, just shove them into an oven and return 30 minutes later and it was a full dinner.

I learned to cook from Julia Child. Those TV shows saved me from poisoning myself.

Kids today don't have that, they have food porn and competitions. It's no wonder they try to cook French fries in microwaves.
Cooking is either a nuisance best left to brown people in factories or it's a fine art and totally beyond them.
