I am a horrible cook. Heretofore I had no interest in getting better, but for various reason NOW I am interested in becoming a better cook (that will be easily achieved). I like to bake chickens and make chicken stock from the carcass. Steaming vegetables and sausage is also a favorite. Cooking with venison is also fun for me. I WISH I had paid more attention to my mother's culinary skills. She is an AMAZING cook! Will report back later when I have achieved triumphs. Too numerous to list.
