I've always been a terrible cook, I panic in the kitchen and end up making a huge mess. Once I became a "housewife" I've found more patience in the kitchen and am having lots of fun experimenting. I've learned that I can never go wrong making Italian food. I make a mean Lasagna, and my favorite thing about it is that it only requires one dish! I make some excellent mashed potatoes. Even the best cook I know tried, and didn't quite get it right! Shortly after my hubby and I got married, I tried to do "breakfast for dinner." I nearly set the kitchen on fire, spilled cooking oil all over the floor, and burnt everything. My husband got very annoyed and impatient and said, "do me a favor- don't cook food anymore."
