Cook
I've been lurking for some time and decided to register and participate.....I will behave myself....
Started cooking and canning back in the 70's and am not a gourmet chef.....I put food on the table and nothing more. I grew up with JC and JW on PBS......Graham Kerr rings a bell..... I have a JoC 1977 8th printing that I used to go by......nice reference but I'm not going to cook my pork to 180F.
Once the children were grown and gone (almost) I took a break from cooking except for holidays. When it got to the point where I was the only diner, I gave up. I've been thrust back into the role of Patriarch with 3 grandchildren in my household......time to start cooking again!! The youngsters are fascinated by the fact that not everything is "cooked" in a microwave......
Gave most of my non-stick away......do have some cast iron but rely on my SS for every day use. I cook chili in 5 gallon batches..... I do not buy endorsed cookware.....
