About Me

I'm 23.
I don't know how to cook.
I love food.
I've never used a can opener.
My mom still cooks for me.
She is a cooking guru.
I'm a picky eater.
I enjoy trying new things.
I need to learn how to cook for myself.

As you can see I am a self proclaimed Lean Cuisine Junkie, in fact, anything prepackaged  that can be prepared in minutes is right up my alley, or should I say, microwave.

The inspiration for my blog came from my sudden realization one day that I've never used a can opener!! I was in the teachers lounge one day during lunch and a colleague asked me if there was a can opener in the cabinets.  I figured there was so I opened up the cabinet and found one" ( YES I do know what they look like). My colleague then proceeded to laugh at the can opener that was apparently vintage. I didn't find it funny because it looked like a regular can opener to me. It then dawned on me.. have I ever used one of these??

What do they look like now?

I then went home and talked this over with my Mom who has, unintentionally, limited my ability to cook for myself.  She laughed and said I must have used one at some point... I thought harder... What would I have used it for? What can would I actually NEED opened. Corn-No  Sauce-No  Beans-No (ew). That's how far my list got.

I'm am 23 years old and have never used a can opener.
It's high time I try one out and learn to cook for myself!

This blog is my journey as I adventure into the land of cooking!
