You know, I don't think I ever took 'home ec'. I did take a cooking class in highschool, but that was mostly because it fit my schedule and sounded like fun. By then, I had already learned from my mom the golden rule "if you can read, you can cook".

Funny, same thing applied to sewing for me, too. And aparently, milking a goat and delivering it's babies when they come out wrong...

My mom was always teaching my brother how to cook things because he was always asking. Me, not so much. I lived on my own for so long after college that I learned to cook by trial and error. I did eat an awful lot of cereal for dinner until I got the hang of it.

Now I can't say that I really enjoy cooking, but I do enjoy eating home cooked food, so that means cooking now and again.
