It might be worthwhile to go back and read what she has written on this
group. I believe she stated that she never learned to cook, and that
when she came to the US to go to grad school, she learned to cook three
things, but mostly ate out. Now she wants to learn to cook, but she
knows nothing about it, and even though her English is fairly good, she
doesn't know English words relating to cooking.

While my Japanese is largely limited to cooking names for foods. Yes, is
can go either way an eventially one learns to cook but it may be after
'college' often enough.

I meant each sip as we took turns to drink it.

What else could I expect from Gumbo who accused me of claiming to be
in IT. Back then I was using a different email address. Here is for
the retarded brain of Gumbo: When a foreign student who grew up
having to do not grocery shopping or cooking - I did fry eggs both
over-easy and scrambled - and attended grad school (in Chemistry and
later Computer programming) on student visa - That means pays 3 time
tuition fees as American (in-state) students, nothing else was fxxxn'
important to spend time on. But then how could a brain like Gumbo's
understand that?

Really? Do you have any shame? I ignored you to a point that if it is
your post in thread that I do not initiate and yet you are still
relentless in trying to get my attention. Get a life, will you?
