Did you mostly learn from watching your mom, learning family recipes, etc? My mom learned from my grandma, but I never took the time to do that when I was young. I'm in college right now, and I'm going to graduate sooner than I'll be ready for the real world lol. I'm just curious, when and how did you guys learn to cook? Because I sure don't know how to, and I'm wondering if it's my generation as a whole.
Because I'm on a budget and only cook for myself, I can't afford to spend a ridiculous amount of money on wholesome and organic fresh foods--they have shorter shelf lives, and tend to expire before I'm finished with them. I usually stick to things like pasta, because they have long shelf lives and can be used throughout several meals. If I want to try an interesting recipe, it's not really worth it to buy a bunch of specific ingredients for one meal, for one person.. At the rate I'm going now, I don't think I'll ever learn how to cook decent food!
