Cooking? What is this madness
I think my parents' cooking has convinced me to learn how to cook for myself.
I've been away from home a lot for the past few years. First it was two years of giftie school, now I've been at college for almost a year. Before that, I was homeschooled, from K-10th grade. And all that time I ate home-cooked food. I didn't even realize how good I had it, because it was just "normal."
Then I went away to high school in my junior year. I mostly ate cafeteria food. Apparently the cafeteria food at my school was better than most, but I didn't really notice, because I had grown up on essentially ambrosia. My parents' food was my cafeteria food. And, of course, then I began to miss it.
I suppose it's rather normal to miss home cooking, but there's a little more to it. We live in the south, where many people are known for their cooking. And even though none of my family is really "from" the south, apparently my parents cook really well even by others' standards. So, really, I've had it made all this time, and then I left for school...
In high school I didn't really have much of an opportunity to eat whatever I wanted. My only real option was the cafeteria. Now I'm in college, and I have plenty of options. The cafeteria here is slightly better, and there's plenty of restaurants that accept my meal plan. So I've been eating out a lot, which is better than before, but it's still nothing like home.
I'll be living off-campus after this quarter, so I figured why not learn how to cook? I'll be flipping back and forth between college and home over the summer (probably), so I'll have a few opportunities to learn the secrets from my parents while I'm home, and then when I'm away I'll practice them. Then I won't have to miss my parents' cooking, because I'll be cooking it myself!
I think the best part about this will be inviting other people to eat. I don't know why, I just get that feeling.
