Well, I am teaching myself how to be a good cook. My wife says that she has never seen anyone love food as much as my mother and I. I am always trying new things and try to add my twist on the recipe. Most of the time, I probably shouldn't have tried adding my twist, but hey, that is what cooking is all about... Trial and error...
