Same here..plus I am broke. I just can't afford to eat out....LOL.

I wish there had been the option for multiple answers..as not only my
mother got me interested in food. We had a cleaning lady that came
once a week, and she would sometimes cook. She was incredible: she
had been taught by some french chefs. I can still to this day
remember the roast chicken she fixed for me when I was sick. I have
been trying to recreate that same roast chicken ever since.
