What food would you say is your specialty?

I can eat all the food, don’t worry.

Oh, wait, are we talking about cooking? Mmmmm, yeah, so I don’t really cook. I mean, I try, don’t get me wrong, I try really hard. Especially at Thanksgiving. But you really never know what you’re going to get when I’m in the kitchen.

Over the last few years I’ve managed to perfect a homemade macaroni and cheese recipe that my family now claims isn’t any good. I can brine and rotisserie a turkey like nobody’s business. I make Libby’s pumpkin pies without crust so we don’t have to deal with gluten and I don’t have to try and make a gluten free crust that doesn’t burn or taste like cardboard. I make a dish of yams with oranges that is so decadent we sometimes have it at other times of the year to remind us we’re alive.

And for your average evening meal I make an InstaPot white chicken chili that no one wants to eat because it took so many trials to perfect it.

What I’m saying is, I’ll gladly hire someone to do our cooking for us as soon as I can afford to do so.
