12. I cook for myself, whenever I can

My wife thinks its her "duty" to cook all the meals, so I don't often get the chance. When I do, I very much enjoy it. I get to cook (and eat) what -I- like, and oftentimes, its stuff that she doesn't care for, or can't eat. She is diabetic, but will eat any sweets that are around the house, so I wait until she's away visiting her family to bake. I learned from my mother many years ago how to bake, and bake well, so I like to make cakes from scratch, pecan rolls--all kinds of great, fattening sweet stuff!!

My son has been ass't manager for several of the more popular restaurants around here, so he's been exposed to a lot of good cooking by hanging around the kitchens. Any time there is a family get-together at his house, he's doing the cooking. He and his wife pretty much split the cooking at other times, so those are his times to show off a little.
