.cooking issue.

I can't cook to save my life.

Well, correction, I don't cook very well and only need a lot of help in order to keep my self from eating uncooked chicken (again!) and bland meatballs or curry (yuck!). In these times, a home cooked meal is important. Not just for the nutritional value but its also cost affective and allows a person to experiment with different techniques. I can say one thing about eating out: The experience can open your palette for different types of food, such as Greek, Indian, Spanish, etc if you let it....
but I digress.

I have researched recipes online, have printed them out and keep them in a small binder. Its not really working because a lot of the recipes are not good; hopefully, the websites I have been visiting are just bad.

Whatever the issue, I just want to be in a position to cook food that is delicious, healthy, and good enough for other people to want to eat. Which is hard because I don't care much for cooking.

(This is weird because my mother is an amazing cook who holds bimonthly parties at the house. All you do as a guest at her house is eat, eat, eat, and eat!)

whine.whine.whine.whine.

I have left out the fact that I can make really good breakfast food and I have no idea why. One can only guess is that I think very highly of breakfast!

What's a girl to do?

Do I have to buy cook books? Find more recipe websites? Subscribe to the Food Network magazine (for reals! yo, the channel has a periodical!)?

Or.....

just cook and cook and cook and cook until I figure out what I am doing?!

I mean, I am new to the whole cooking scene.

-Just pray for me-
