Undomesticated

I have always prided myself on being what I would call, and what almost every other human being as well, would call UNDOMESTIC. I thought it was great that not until I came to Australia for the first time did I learn how to do my own laundry (thanks Susan and Mark for help with that too...); I was 21. I moved to Colorado when I returned and moved into an apartment with Sarah thinking now this is where I would learn cook as it looked like it was going to be a very domestic year for me...but as it came down to it the BROaDMOOR had a decent kitchen and the boys I hung out with never cooked so I didn't bother learning. When I moved back to East Lansing for senior year I lived with 4 other girls, all of which knew how to prepare gourmet meals if asked to, but somehow I still avoided that thing called "cooking", I mean Lou & Harrys was a mere 1/2 block away. So speed up time to nearing the late part of September 2005, me being 23 now, and I have finally LEARNED HOW TO COOK, CLEAN, and DO LAUNDRY!!!! I must say that it would have been easy for me not to as I do live in the city and take-away is much easier and cheaper I reckon then preparing a home-made meal but, I was bound and determined to learn--and for all that I am concerned I HAVE... No, I'm not a gourmet cook, and no I still have no clue how to cook a turkey/roast/whole chicken or any other large meat product but I can make a wide variety of smaller dishes and have even accomplished baking--somewhat. It really is quite impressive actually. I know I have very strange cooking techniques and I don't always follow the recipe but in the end it usually works out okay. So don't worry Dad, I figure whoever ends up marrying me will be able to cook meat so I don't have a desire to learn how, plus I don't really like meat anyway so there really is no point learning. No, I won't be anything like my Mom, but if asked I can whip up an amazing vegetable and or shrimp meal in no time flat....ahhh way to go Kim! ;0)
