That is pretty funny Lisa (greasing bottom of pan)...

I LOVE cooking and so my kids grew up in the kitchen pretty much. There was one year that hubby was in Korea and my kids were about ages 8-12 or so. They each had one day of the week that they were in charge of shopping and cooking for the family. It was pretty interesting...only daughter Missy made macaroni & cheese or ramen noodles every single week Oldest son Bryan would fix homestyle meals and son Jason discovered a real love for cooking. He is 25 now and loves cooking like I do. He continues to fix family meals and experiments with new recipes.

I think part of the trouble today is that so many folks do not have time to cook meals and so kids grow up thinking that "dinner" comes in paper sacks at the drive-through or miraculously appears on a plate.
