I took Home Ec, but don't really count that because it wasn't by myself, with teacher's instructions and within a group.
18...trying to impress my now dh and my sister gave me a Mexican cornbread recipe that you made with ground beef in the cornbread. Also attempted a Mulberry pie. It's a wonder dh ever married me after that....neither dish was fit for human consumption
The cornbread was just nasty tasting. The pie filling was okay (I guess) but the crust was so hard, it couldn't be chewed by anyone that wanted to keep their teeth. Dh even tried feeding the "leftovers" to his bird dog....she buried both
You know it's bad when the dog food critic won't even eat it. Dh is grateful I've learned much more and today am a wonderful cook.
