cooking for dummies.

Here’s how I’d win on Survivor.

I can live on dry cereal, water and peanut butter and granola bars.

I don’t know this from camping….I know this because I let my cubbard get that bare two weeks ago, because I absolutely suck at cooking, and the couch was just too comfy for going to the store. And this is what I lived on in the meantime for two days.

You call it a “cookbook”…..I call it “the first thing to put out with the fire extinguisher” as I set it on fire while trying to make an entree.

I’ve decided to learn how to properly cook….at age 56….its time to overcome my fear of the kitchen.

I’m no Julia Child (although my imitation of her is pretty good), but I’m going to have fun with this challenge, and hopefully not get food poisoning in the process!

This is all part of the fresh start – taking on new challenges and opportunities, and finally facing the fears.

And with all of the new opportunities presenting themselves, I’ll approach these just like I will with my first truly self-made meal.

One bite at a time.
