A stay-at-home mom who can't — and doesn't want to — cook.
"Hey, come here a second," my mom said as she replaced the book in my hands with a wooden spoon covered in what I prayed was red sauce. Together, we walked into the kitchen and hovered over the skillet like we were peering into a crystal ball. Looking into my future, I saw me eating a lot of takeout.
When it came time for college tours, it wasn't,"How much does it cost?" or,"What programs are accredited?" but,"What is the maximum number of daily meals your cafeteria is legally allowed to provide to students?" When I finally shoved off, the only thing I knew, or rather cared, how to make was a cheese roll-up — a piece of sliced cheese microwaved in a tortilla shell.
"Your oven is super . . . clean," I remember my realtor commenting as he did his walk through when I sold my condo and moved in with my husband. I realized then that I was 30 years old and had used my oven once — ONCE — to make frozen taquitos one night when I offered to cook him dinner when we were first dating. I didn't want him to think I was a big weirdo who hated to cook. However, I think the fact that I served frozen taquitos and nothing else tipped him off.
