/ck/ - Food & Cooking

My older sister and I have been cooking since I was probably 12 - 13, because our little brother has cerebral palsy (basically can't do anything).

My family wasn't poor, but we weren't well-off either, so when my mom couldn't cook my sister and I were expected to. When my mom died when I was 18 my sister and I took over cooking full-time and rotated nights.

My dad can't cook and considers Kraft Dinner to be amazing food. My cooking (and my sister's) steadily improved over the years.

My cooking really took off when I moved out and I was cooking everyday. I enjoy it because it's a way for me to relax at the end of the day and enjoy a pretty good meal.

This is an old photo of when I was cooking at home (about 7 years ago). Looking back I wish I knew to toss dat sauce with the pasta, but I was proud of it at the time.
