I consider myself to be a VERY good cook!! Not executive chef material, but dman good nonetheless........
LOL I remember the 1st thing I ever "made" and my parents, who never knew what a seasoning was bless their bland hearts, looked at me like I was from Mars........
Wonder what'd they think of my basement pantry shelf filled with home-canned Fig jams, Cranberry Chutneys, Mango chutneys, Pie Fillings & Salsa?? They wouldn't know what to do with them! LOL
