    If you can follow directions, you can cook. Now if you hate cooking, that is a whole 'nother issue, but I truly don't believe a functioning adult *can't* cook. It is a basic life skill and one worth knowing how to perform without endangering yourself or others. I would seriously look into a basic cooking class. Many adult ed. programs and local community colleges offer them around me. Do you have anything like that in your area?

    Okay i have a crock pot on my registry so maybe i'll start building up some recipes. The cupcakes i blame the oven the grill cheese i blame my mom. She never cooked with butter so she just watched the grill cheese closely and "grilled" it on low heat. Well i didnt know that. Thank god it was winter (Cleveland) and freezing out because i tomahawked my grill cheese right out the window into the snow =)

    I usually do the "raw" things or call my Future Hubby and make him "show me" a.k.a cook me dinner =)

    Did you have your wedding shower yet? I got married 2 years ago and my cooking skills are lacking as well, so we asked people to bring (in lieu of a card), their favorite recipe to share with us. It was fun and we got a lot of great new things to add to our dinner 'rotation'. Luckily my husband cooks much better than I do, or we'd probably be starving!
