I learned to cook "helping" my grandma at a young age. Although I was no expert by the time I got married I could make a fairly wide variety of items. Unlike Deb who I swear could scald water at that time. Over the last 32 years we've both become pretty good cooks, obvious if you judge by our shapes. I make some things especially well and she with others. We trade off depending on who's in the mood and what we're having. The dogs especially like her cooking as she drops more and usually lets them have it.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
