>skills in the kitchen It's great when you get to the point when you can just *make stuff*. Whatever happens to be in the kitchen/pantry can be made into something delicious in a relatively easy manner. When I first learned to cook many moons ago there were a lot of mistakes and looking up how-to videos. Now I mostly know any recipe I usually do by heart and often look up new recipes and modify them with what I have on hand to my own tastes. Custom-made food you *know* is clean and fresh, it's the best.
