I knew little about cooking until I was in my 30's. My son could care
less. The girls are Louise's and neither had any interest until they
moved out and had to feed themselves. It's funny to see them post
foodie stuff on facebook. She was cute as hell when she threw her
first family dinner party. She did much better than I could have done
at 26. We've downsized drastically here and she's had first crack at
the extra kitchen stuff we had and is happy as hell to have it.
