A scene becoming rarer and rarer in the US. So many women don't know how to cook properly any more. If it ain't microwavable, it ain't cookable to them. LOL. (Just an observation. Please don't throw rocks at me. LOL.)

It occurred to me,that less and less people in general, know how to cook properly, without burning everything. Because their parents nearly do not care to teach them, hoping that one day they will learn on their own. Somehow.

That, and they're maybe not around so much in the house to learn or teach.
Children spend much of the day at school, then have after-school activities or on homework, and it's likely that both of their parents have jobs nowadays (a good thing overall, but leaves little time for cooking at home, or skill transferral - they might well bring something back, or order take-out).
Families also fragment and move around so much now, when in the past you might live all your life in the same house, or at least the same house (or town) as your relatives.

There's also the fact that, unlike when I was a kid, eating a meal at a table with the family, is definitely a thing of the past. My mother taught me and my sister to cook so she could work, along with my dad, so we could stay a middle class family rather than becoming a lower middle class or poor family.

My mom taught me how to cook, in regards for my future life, that if I will not find a wife to cook for me, I'd rather cook myself. And now I do, pretty well too. Many woman that I know are amazed at how well I manage to cook. :P

Well, I've always said that, as long as I have a recipe I can understand, I can cook almost anything. But, I will admit that I'm one of those modern people I mentioned previously. I'd rather cook using a microwave and, now that microwaveable foods taste better than they used to taste, I don't really miss cooking for myself and, since I don't have anyone to cook for, it really doesn't matter to me. But, since my mother loves to cook, I'll continue to have home cooked meals as long as she lives. Then, I'll have to make the decision as to whether or not to cook for myself or let someone else prepare it and let me heat it up. LOL.

It's also sometimes hard to get your parents to teach you how to cook. I've asked my Mother a number of times to teach me, bot of my parents are retired now, but my mother has a mentality that since it's her kitchen, she has to do everything herself. I think one of these days, I'm going to have to pick a recipie, buy the ingridents in secreat, then wait till they're out of the house and cook it myself.

LOL. I've got a friend who's mother was like that when she was growing up. She never learned how to cook until she got married at 18. Her husband would tell us stories of how bad she was at cooking but she wasn't offended. She laughed right along with us as she told us the story of her mother refusing to let her learn how to cook. LOL.

I can keep from burning water, but I'm not all that grate a cook either -_- . I've had some good natured barbs thrown my way because of this of course, that dosn't bother me. What bothers me is that when I have a place of my own, I'm not going to know how to cook, and I really don't want to eat take out for every meal.

Well, microwavable meals are a lot better than they were just a few years ago. You could always buy those for your meals. That's what I do quite regularly when my mother's not able to cook for us.

Reminds me of that one time on Tapestries... but in this case it's probably just a dumb bird, or it wouldn't have let itself get caught. I don't think it counts then. ;-p
At least the turkey got proper respect, and pride of place! Too many end up in slices on some TV dinner tray. So sad.

You should have been here.. I doubled up a Pumpkin Recipe and it went way farther than anyone expected. We had like a half dozen loaves of pumpkin bread filled with raisins, pecans, and cranberries.
