I've been running into a lot of people who 'can't' cook lately.
I cook a lot and always have, so don't get it. I can understand, say, always needing to use a recipe, simply not cooking much from scratch, not being able to come up with a recipe by yourself, etc, but -- just how hard can it be to use a cookbook? The directions for most things are pretty simple.
I'm not thinking about people who simply don't cook, but the ones who claim not to be able to do so. One story I heard recently involved somebody -- an adult -- 'learning' to make mashed potatoes, which stunned me. Anybody who's tasted, or even seen, them, should be able to figure out 'smushed-up cooked potato,' I thought. But, apparently, no.
What's the big mystery...?
