an excellent cook

I have come to realize that the only way to become a great cook is to be willing to try and fail.  I have done both over the past couple of weeks as I have tried to instill the habit of eating at home.  I failed a roasted chicken, split pea soup(it looked like pee), chocolate chip cookies with chickpeas(although, jack seems to like them), homemade mac & cheese with ground up beans, and others i have put out of memory.  I am determined though to keep trying new things I have not done before and introducing new tastes to the family.  I encourage you in the tradition of the family meal!
