Marriage and Cooking

So I have now come to the age when my friends and peers are getting married, and I realized tonight that I don't know how to cook.

Seems like there is little to no connection? Well, there is a pretty significant one, at least in my head.

With the marriages of my friends, I am realizing that someday I will probably be married myself, if that is what God wills for me. I'm not worried about having enough food to put on the table. I'm worried about WHAT food I will put on the table.

I honestly don't know very much about cooking (did you see the connection??). Though I may not get married for years, the recent and impending marriages of several friends have thrown into perspective my lack of desire and skill at cooking.

So this summer, I have a new goal (whether I obtain it or not time will only tell). I am going to learn how to cook. Not just from a recipe. I mean I can kinda do that. But I mean like cooking steak and pork chops and fish and bread (Bekah! Please help.) and so many other things. I want to be able to put together a meal for a meat-loving husband or a chicken-devouring friend or a vegetarian roommate. I want to be confident in the kitchen because right now, I'm not. If you have any tips, let me know.

It'll be a fight some days. I really don't like to cook, but I need to learn how. The older I get the more I realize being able to cook is a skill I have a desire to learn (at least in the back of my mind).

However, though I can't cook, I can make a mean batch of cookies. Just ask my brother.
