Cooking

I have been battling with this for a while. About 25 years. I have trouble cooking. I can make a few meals and they turn out pretty good, but nothing like my mom's. I will make things exactly how I remember my mom making them and they just don't turn out right. I realized there were a lot of steps I didn't see my mom do, such as adding specific ingredients. I have almost mastered meatloaf, but not the potatoes. You can ask Kelli about my delicious potatoes. At work, people talking about how they just throw stuff in a pot and cook it. I did that tonight. It smelled great, looked great, but it was soooooo hot. So, if anyone needs a pot of super hot stew, let me know!
