What was the first thing you ever cooked?

@Chetan1408  Haha!  About 39 years ago, my second attempt was making everyone breakfast for dinner.  That was a HUGE undertaking!  I made scrambled eggs (which were horribly dry and crumbly), burnt bacon, and brick hard blueberry muffins (measured the baking powder and flour wrong LOL). 

Everyone pretended to LOVE my dinner, and I was shocked, because I was nearly in tears, assuming everything was horribly inedible (which it was; they were AMAZING actors!).  I went on to become a recipe developer and amazing cook in my adult life, so I really appreciate my family for that theatre performance.  

(Honorable Mention: One of my mother's best friends was an amazing cook, and she had joined us for dinner.  A week later, I said to her, "Ok, I know my dinner was edible, but I did not like it.  How do I make better eggs, bacon, and blueberry muffins?  She explained it all to me, and I got it right the next time I made it.)

I remember how scared I was to ask her, for fear that she would admit they were all acting, but she never said a word about that!  🤣

@Chetan1408  Wow, I was just reflecting on my entire childhood, and you talking about baking your cake brick brought up the only memory of my family being genuinely loving and supportive in a way that actually yielded positive, lasting results in my life.

I had been hung up on 48 years of trauma, and you brought back one very powerful, positive memory that I can focus on any time that I am struggling with the memory of that trauma. 

Thank you  so so so much for sharing your experience.  One just never knows the magnitude of positive effect that can result from a small share that seems like a small ripple, but it can, and for me, did, become huge with perfect timing.  ✨🌟

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!  Wishing you an AMAZING weekend! 🥳,🥳🥳
