Cooking More Than Just Hotdogs

One of the most embarrassing things in my life is my ability (or lack of ability) to cook.  I have to admit, I grew up in a home where TV dinners were the common staple, and I don’t even remember ever having the chance to cook while I lived at home.  In fact, I didn’t even realize that you could cook something from scratch, which is kind of pathetic.

So, as you can imagine, I was in for a big shock when I moved out from home.  For the first time in my life I had to prepare food for myself, and I would have to say that I wasn’t very successful.  Some of the meals that I had were microwave popcorn, TV dinners, and I even learned how to cook hotdogs.

I started dating a boy that was enrolled in a culinary school in town, and for the first time in my life, I realized what I was missing.  In fact, some of the food that he prepared was the most beautiful and delicious that I had ever tasted in my life, and I found myself wanting to learn how to cook something that actually tasted good.

So, I enrolled in some night classes in the culinary arts to improve my cooking skills.  Though I am no expert yet, at least now I can cook more than just hotdogs.
