Yeah, I made that… (Or): Teach your kids to cook before they move out…

Celery, carrots, bok choy, green red and yellow peppers… but the real secret is that for the meat, I used a rack of leftover barbecue ribs, cutting it off the bone and slicing it up.

But that isn’t the main point of this post. I am once again, telling you to teach your kids a few basic life skills before they go away to college or wherever.

Being able to sew and repair your own clothes may be a lost art already. But if your kid can wash their own clothes, maybe balance a check book, change a flat tire, and cook a decent meal, they are way ahead of the game…

Also, if you don’t have sweet chili sauce in your refrigerator, you are missing out. This stuff goes with everything.a-3

I guess what I am trying to say is that teaching your female child to cook isn’t dooming her to spend her life in the kitchen. It isn’t handing down some archaic and sexist dogma. It is a freekin’ life skill. It will mean that she has options besides fast food or shacking up with a guy who can cook. And teaching your boy to cook will make him very popular… with all those girls who can’t.

    I’m sorry, but I’m not letting my son anywhere near cooking. At least not at least he’s at least 4 or 5.
