I guess you have fresh Halibut flown in from Alaska when you want fish.

I catch my fish or buy fresh local fish from the gulf.

While this is true there are pretty girls out there who are motivated and driven to do things well. Go find one of them. Dont settle for Egg. or Anabelle. Because she's the bell of the ball

Trust me, 9 times out of 10, those hotties who have those home skills got pretty after high school. My SO is one of them. She looked like a wall flower in middle school and high school but got smoking hot in college. I kinda hold onto the belief that who you are in middle school/high school will determine much of who you will be later in life, but not in the ways that most people think. How people are treated in those crucial formulation years will shape their entire perception of the world as well as their opinions on life and how to succeed in it.

you can get US farm raised Talalpia. Its ok.

I like to catch and clean my own fish though. except for sushi.

I use tomatoes with Italian seasoning. Can also use Chunky peanut butter instead of creamy. For oil I use only olive oil.

his is pretty dumb. Not everyone can be a creative chef. That doesn't mean they can't cook.

I dont use premade recipes or any of that. Everything I make i make from scratch. My grandparents on both sides did that. My parents did that growing up and I do it now. There is no substitute for being able to walk into a kitchen and cook whatever you want by feeling. And it isnt easy. It takes knowledge and experience.

But i agree anyone can make Hamburger helper and cover it in salt then feed it to people.

thanks Isabelle. Im gonna try it out.

Cooking has become like magic skills to society

With the internet and the millions of moms that post recipes that are simple and good, cooking has become a joke.

Look at something like chicken noodle soup. If you handed a twenty-four year old the recipe, they would immediately say it's too hard for them.

No doubt about this. It's pretty awesome when someone can do this.

My wife always uses recipes and cookbooks and such, but she always makes everything from scratch, including bread. I would still say she can cook, she just isn't a creative chef that is going to walk in a kitchen and just create something like John Besh would.
