I guess I had a so many when the kids were little they didn't know I could cook...I boiled the noodles and stuffed the manacotti and made the sauce from scratch, toss the salad and toasted the french bread. Phew! that was a long day in the kitchen. We sit down to the table and Young son, about 3 years old at the time said "This is really good, Mom. Where did you buy it?" I never did convince him that I had made it.
Another reason I know they don't think I can cook - when the smoke alarm goes off someone always yells through the house "Dinner is ready!" Usually my DH!
We did actually live in one house that the alarm must have been to close to the kitchen. No matter what you cooked it would set off the alarm.
Later, working at school when the teacher wanted me to help with the cooking lessons: I held "Alice's Smoke Alarm School of Cooking"
And Yes! There is a sign in my kitchen that says "You get it My Way". My kitchen is not Alice's Restaurant! They don't get everything they want :lol:
