LOL! I am NOT a cook. I have been know to melt a plastic spoon or two. d:o)
I do buy those cooked chickens....throw on some great potatoes, (I learned how to cook from a 5-star Rest. Chef) and a veg. and I'm good.... Ice cream with warmed syrup for dessert and I'm a happy camper!
I'd love to know how to cook with wine....I had a marvelous steak, as a guest, learning the cook used wine. When I tired it with a roast, oh it was nasty!
