re: Best thing your mother taught you.

Two things:

1. She taught me how to cook at an early age which is probably why I like to cook.

2. In her own words, before I went to college, she said, "Just know up front that if you ever do something stupid like drunk driving, we will not come bail you out of jail! You'll have to stay there, deal with it and figure it out on your own." I knew she was serious, so I followed her advice and never got arrested.
