Spaghetti squash is just nasty. Nobody in the house will eat it. She will
eat canned green beans but only one serving.

I just do not like to use the broiler at all ever. It makes the house too
hot. I also will not cook any chicken with skin nor will Angela eat chicken
with skin on it.

There is no Y around here. There are a couple that I know of. Not close
by. I don't think they offer any cooking classes. I did go to cooking
school. I do know how to cook.
