How I Have Been Brought Up

Both mum and dad cook, and bake. I guess that comes from a time that, back at school, both boys and girls were taught to do it as a 'life skill' rather than a boy Vs girl thing, which I think it became a bit when I was younger.

But, I digress!

I was taught by both parents and also the school lessons that not only was it an important skill to have, but also such a cool thing.

We are talking about....creation!

Creating anything, from scratch, is always a great achievement.

So, yes, making pasta dishes - from someone that was a friend - from scratch, including the pasta, making curries and Fajitas...all stuff that I can do.

Cakes? Muffins, cookies, tarts...

Just somethings that I can do for people when they turn up at my door.

Well they offered Home Ec classes for boys starting in 10th grade at my school and that was 55 years ago. They got the easiest assignments….making foods from box mixes and that sort of thing. And for their sewing project they made karate robes. We were making loaves of bread from scratch in 10th grade home ec, sewing clothing we wore to school, and cooking various types of meat from scratch. Our big 1st semester project was cooking an entire Thanksgiving meal and having a feast.

@NativePortlander1970 They should start it about then. When they are old enough to understand safety rules. Getting to sample the food is a good motivator to learn I bet. When I was in 7th grade we made some of our favorites at home that we learned how to make in home ec.
@cherokeepatti Definitely

I prefer veggies steamed or boiled

And eggs over omlette


More simple more healthy

@cherokeepatti But what are chaffles?
cherokeepatti · 70-79, F
@NativePortlander1970 mini Keto waffles. I have made the Wonder Bread Chaffles, really easy to mix up in small bowl, makes two Chaffles. I made them a couple days ago because I didn’t have any gluten-free sandwich bread. Most Chaffles have some type of cheese or cream cheese in them, maybe almond or coconut flour and eggs. High in protein and very low in carbs. @NativePortlander1970
