I lucked out. lol The old mans Grandmother was their home town hotels cook for decades and she taught her daughters. Which in turn he was rasied by only his Mom (lost his dad early to cancer) and his mom worked. Soooo he got taught to cook with the pinch and dash method.
He can cook about anything he comes up with and works spices like he knows what they are (previously I knew about salt and didn't like pepper) lmao He makes his own marination (?) sauce and all of that.
So I eat well when he feels like cooking. He even taught me to BOIL and NOT nuke hotdogs!! Ballparks get AMAZINGLY fat when boiled at a lowered boiling heat (small bubbles) and are sooooo juicy. *G*
Oh and pizzas that SAY you can't nuke? Uh huh, he figured out how to do those in the nuke as well and they come out just like oven made! (Yeah he doesn't ALWAYS feel like making a fancy meal)
He goes? I go back to Kraft mac n cheese, popcorn and other nuclear capable foods. lol I *did* learn to cook and I'm not that bad at it. Just realllllly hate doing it.
