My mother *hates* to cook She freely admits it. She did it because she had
kids and it was what a mom did. She even baked cookies. (laughing) She
wonders where I got my 'cooking gene'. Beats me, I just like good food and
I enjoy preparing it and cooking it. I just don't want to do it at some
location away from my kitchen and I sure don't want to do it with a pre-set
bunch of recipes and ingredients. I want to pick out what vegetables I use,
what spices I use; make the sauce, choose the meat, etc.
