Trying to cook more, I am not sure when I started cooking. I feel like when I was younger my mom would leave home things I could make for my sisters. Like microwaveable, things like pizza rolls, pizza pockets, taquitos. Many pizza derivatives, and a few finer things like pot pies, or things like that. Both my parents worked until 6, but usually later. If we stay at latchkey, or the after school program we would have to be picked up at 5:30. So it was better just to go home. Realistically the food was better too. I remember having breakfast shakes too. I guess anything to keep us from really doing anything in the kitchen.
I thought about this recently when cooking pasta, it's almost easier than all these other things. Like the microwave is nice, but just boiling water and counting to ten is fine. I guess more dangerous? But this I find funny as I have made metal spark, and eggs explode in numerous microwaves.
I guess then the next steps were grilled cheeses and pancakes. This sometimes was dinner when mom was late and dad cooked.
I think lately I have been amazed at what you can make in the kitchen. Like it still blows my mind you whisk some egg whites for awhile and it just changes into a white fluff.
