Because my mom's a home ec teacher


I love to cook, and when people see some exotic creation I've whipped up, they always ask: How/why do you know how to do that? I tell them it's because my mom's a home ec teacher - so I've always known how to cook.

My first dish, which I began preparing around age 4, was scrambled eggs in a custard cup, microwaved (I wasn't allowed to use the stove) for several minutes until it reached a nice, hard, rubbery consistency, then served to my parents as breakfast-in-bed.

My favorite food to eat at this age was broccoli with cheese sauce. I liked it because it looked like I was eating miniature trees, and my parents were thrilled because whose kid likes eating broccoli?!
