I was raised by my grandmother who was born in, as she would say: "Nineteen hunned and eleven...". She gave birth to my father in 1933 and was a single parent. She worked as a house keeper and nanny for a very wealthy family in Manhattan for decades. But at the same time? She was old School and at times quite radical about a whole lot of shit...
When I was a teenager she told me once: "Boy, you better listen up: Learn from me how to cook, clean, sew your own clothes and all of that. These here young gals coming up these days ain't like they was in my days. They too busy with their hand out asking you what you gonna do for them. They ain't trying to do nothing for you, so you'd be a fool not to know how to do for yourself..."
You had better believe I took that advice. Took it and ran with it as far as I could go. There is not one single domestic duty that is beneath me. So when it comes to cooking? Well, my wife keeps trying to talk me into writing a cookbook or starting my own restaurant. YES, I am THAT damned good...
Excellent.
Same goes to me homie.
