Cooking is a skill
I still find it endlessly amusing that I can now walk into a kitchen and home cook a good meal that my family enjoys without much thought or effort. Seriously, there are so many places I put up the dumb artificial barriers that tell me I have some limitation or another.
I went through this with drawing, and while I’m no Bob Ross, I learned enough quickly enough to understand that I could probably become a surprisingly descent cartoonist. I also learned it doesn’t bring me the kind of joy that I am motivated by.
Cooking though, seeing my family benefit from the practice, that’s something I enjoy seeing.
As always, this little journey wouldn’t have been one I ever undertook without the motivation and generous knowledge sharing from Storm Raynes. She kept telling me that once I learn a few of the basics that I would eventually be able to make up a menu with a quick scan of the pantry... and here I am.
