My new wife (2nd to most) used to cook... In fact my first wife (obviously the ex-wife now) and I used to go over to the current wife's home for many a good Vermont hearty meal... one of the reasons I loved about the new wife... but since she is now my wife and from this day forth I can say my (current) wife CAN NOT cook... well maybe that is harsh... she can make instant potatoes (shivers) pretty well... give her a glass, some diet cola, and maybe some ice; she'll make herself a drink... buy her chocolate, chips and dip... she'd have a complete meal... The problem is not that you can't cook... everyone can cook... just some not as good as others... My ex-wife burnt boiling water not once, not even twice but on four seperate occasions... some would say I'm a redneck version of a chef with my soups, stews and pasteries... but I am never satisfied with what I make... cooking is actually repetition with constant striving for perfection that is never met...

And if your bothered by the burning of your foods... don't think you can't cook... maybe your expertise is something along the lines of Blackened Catfish, Lamb Roast, Plantas, Brisk, or come to one of our Vermont Pig Roasts... least when you burn these it is on purpose... some foosds are meant to be burnt... just try changing up the menu...
