re: Are you a natural when it comes to cooking??

Now that my Mom is older, retired and taking care of her aging mother... She has become a master "short-cut cook" I think is the best way to describe it. She does one-offs and "add a couple things" recipes with the quickness... and it's a whole new side of her.

We do dueling cooks as well. Just spent about 3 weeks at home. Longest time I've spent with my folks since post-Katrina. Back and forth every other night. Good times.
