My first experiences in the kitchen

The first thing that I made was always salad. So here I was (probably 7 at the time) standing on a chair tearing up salad into little pieces. My legs would usually start hurting because I dawdled (I had a bad attitude LOL) and I was standing right beside the register. Then I graduated to oatmeal. It was a disaster to put it in a light term. Mama told me put 3 cups of oatmeal and 6 cups of water. I got the numbers switched. 6 cups of oatmeal and 3 cups of water. YIPES!! Thankfully my big sister appeared on the scene and (as always) fixed it up for me. Next was cornbread and to this day I am the 'cornbread girl'. Probably the third thing that I learned how to make was muffins. Then pies. I'm waiting for the day I con do meats. LOL I usually let my cats meat go bad because I don't take care of it soon enough. That's probably why Mom's not starting me on that yet! JK
