Anytime! We do country cooking around here. I was fortunate enough to have been required to take home economics in school and I was in 4-H for most of grade school and some of high school. I was blessed through the patience of ladies who were willing to open their homes to a dozen 9 year old girls and show them how to cook. I also had to help my mother prepare large meals to take to the fields to feed the men at an early age.

In 4-H and home ec I learned to make real sponge cakes and angel food cakes. Muffins without tunnels and flakely light biscuits. Popovers, turnovers, and gravy. I didn't realize at the time how well that training would serve me. That's often the way it is when we're younger though.

Linda didn't learn from 4H.......more from her Mom.

How old is your daughter?

Our sons have no conception of someone their age who actually knows how to cook.
