You know the old saying...

"You are what you eat...so try to avoid fruits and nuts!"  Jim Davis

One day, I asked my ex-wife to teach me to cook, and I wanted to learn how to make a pot of green chile.  She stood right there, as I did everything she told me to do.  When the chile had finished cooking, I tasted it, and it tasted like hell.  Why does your chile taste so good, and I do the same thing you do...and my chile tastes like hell?  S-c-r-e-a-m!

At the age of 65 in 2010, I've been in, what is known as the kitchen a time or two, so I'll try to educate the reader on what I have learned over the years.  Some of it may be technical in nature, so try to keep up.  I realize that there are many of you out there, who are not the sharpest knife in the drawer...but please try to understand...and I'll try to make it as simple as I can;  Shall we begin...

About all I can make in the kitchen are weapons of mass destruction!  I would never invite anyone to dinner, for I fear that the person would die, and I would be responsible!

My wife's cousin is a very good cook...she's one of those gormet cooks.  One year, for my wife's birthday, she cooked a dinner...a Chinese dinner.  I ate so much that day, that I had to be trucked out of the house!  So, I really admire people who stay with it and can cook!  (by the way, I do all my cooking on the dance floor!)
