Your Cooking Skills
I'd rate myself around an 8.5. I'm not a chef but can cook right along side. My mother and grandmother made us learn to cook. At the age of 12, I was helping care for 3 younger sibs while my mother worked two jobs. I had to cook to care for them. I also ensured my mother had dinner when she got home. I furthered my cooking skills on the fire department where I was permanent cook at a few of the fire houses where I worked. I will, at times, use a recipe but then will make my own adjustments to the ingredients to make the dish my own. I can bake and ... I can even clean up too! ;DDD
I cook very rarely. When I do I can make a decent dish of a number of things. But being technically talented I know that if I desired I could become a top chef with some effort. I just have no desire to go that way in life. Instead. I'll strive for excellence in making my recipes with soil fertility elements, then eat the product with little to no preparation.
