I grew up on a farm watching my mother and aunts cook all kinds of stuff. I was a better baker at 10 than I am now, simply from watching them. I remember making complicated cakes and lemon meringue pies from scratch and thinking nothing of it.
I'm still a pretty good cook, and I do enjoy it when I have enough time. When I'm busy, it does sometimes feel like a chore. FYI, I was just saying today that I've never been romantically involved with a man who could cook. I have no idea why because I'd love to eat someone else's cooking from time to time!
