I suppose from the time I was about 1, I was in the kitchen "helping" to
some extent. The first item I ever remember making by myself was potato
pancakes, from a mix, in the microwave on the browning grill. I was in 1st
grade, and my parents were occupied at the moment with other things. I
think my dad was out at the barn getting ready to milk and mom was just
outside, doing some yard work. They turned out ok, as best as I can
remember.

My first real meal that I made by myself was spaghetti and green beans when
I was 10.
