I'm finally doing it

Although on occasion I have read a few blogs here and there, I never thought the time would come where I decide to write one..well now it has. About now, you are probably wondering what in the world this will be about. There are some things that people are absolutely terrified of: heights, snakes, darkness, bugs, death, cooking..wait...cooking?? The others I could understand..but seriously? Cooking? Anytime I find myself talking about cooking with a self proclaimed 'toast burner' I hear a myriad of bad cook cliches: "I make a mean mac n cheese from the box", "do ramen noodles count?'' I've heard them all and chances are you have used them. I always find it amusing because cooking really isn't that hard to do. I agree, it can be intimidating for a new cook but we aren't talking about working the saute station at a busy restaurant on a Saturday night, I'm talking about making dinner at home whether it be for yourself, your family or your friends.
