ORIGINAL: SugarMyChurro I cook because I was raised to be able to perform all kinds of tasks. I can clean house, do the gardening, perform all kinds of common home improvements, sew, cook, rebuild a car, build or fix a computer, etc. By contrast to myself I find most americans lacking in these skills, esp. the younger set. (Yup, I just made another one of those "most" statements...) I think it's how people are raised. If they are raised to value these kinds of skills and that food is an important aspect of their culture then they are inclined to acquire these skills. Good points that i hadn't necessarily thought about, thank You.... -a
