It Wasnt Until I Was A Sophomore In High School That I Asked Mama If I Could Come Into The Kitchen And Have Her Teach Me How To Cook Something. Well, I Wasnt In There Five Minutes Before She Said, Ok, Honey, You Have To Go Now. I Made Her So Nervous She Was About Ready To Throw Up. So I Really Didnt Have An Interest In Being In The Kitchen Until After I Was Married, When I Was 18.
