My DH is the best chef ever. He does fabulous in the kitchen. He cooks, I bake/quilt. We make a good pair. He sometimes ha a hard time with the canning idea till he looks at the price and quality on the store shelf and then says we better get it done. I am trying to get the girls to do more cooking and it can be a feat. They can do the easy stuff, but get them to read a recipe now that is a challenge. How did we learn? It is a lost art nowadays I think. Us farm girls are going to be the ones showing the city clickers how to keep alive someday. No school like the old school.
