I'm so glad you are learning your way around the kitchen! Mom can cook 1000 times better than I can. Probably the best teacher you can have in the kitchen. It's neat that she's teaching you how to cook. All by hand without mixes and boxed stuff. I was way way impressed with your deep dish pizza. you made everything by scratch; crust, sauce and real sausage and cheese. Ry- It was delicious...... Even your Aunt Lina loved it and shes fairly picky on what she eats!
I started to cook when I was in 8th grade. Really it was frying a thin steak and warming a tortilla. I kinda flew by the seat of my pants....No teachers all experiments. Making a deep dish is much more complicated. Keep learning and trying new things. That way you'll be independent in the kitchen and it's a great way to make friends too. I love to cook for you and your brother in the mornings and on Sundays (when Mom lets me). I really enjoy when I'm able to cook for mom. It's special for me because she does not give me the chance to do it.
When your ready to make a full meal for mom I'll be glad to be your assistant chef.
