"Cook" No Longer A 4 Letter Word

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum. I had been blessed to be a non-cook at the ripe old age of 52. Yes, you read that correctly. I have been able to get away with not cooking for myself in about 4 decades. You think my weight gain could be the underlining factor in not preparing foods and eating out in restaurant LOL....well in any case I am determined to learn how to cook and prepare...simple yet fabulous foods for myself.

This forum is going to become my new kitchen. So I will be lurking and reading your recipes. I might be asking a ton of questions....even though I have a Ph.D....I do not think I can successfully read a recipe correctly. Alas we do have our strengths and weaknesses.

So please go easy on me if I ask silly questions....I do want to be able to feed myself. Everyone around me are such excellent cooks and foodies. I feel as if I am missing out on this creative experience....so my cooking journey begins.....Now if only I can find someone that will clean up the mess after cooking I would be even happier....

Thanks for letting this newbie foodie share.....Hugs Susan
