I wondered if anyone would read my confession... and then worried that people read it and thought I shouldn't have a cooking blog. How silly I can be sometimes. I actually did have a job in the cafeteria at a college I attended in my early twenties, but it didn't last long enough for me to benefit in self-confidence. I loved doing the morning fry-cooking... but then a financial aid student needed the job so I was laid off. That didn't do a thing for my self-confidence. It was my first job and when I was told I couldn't work there anymore, I cried in the supervisor's office. I couldn't help it. The truth was that I too was low income but I didn't know how to apply for financial aid. I should have taken the time to figure it out. Drew, I’m so happy to find your comment here.

And I can confirm the confidence you get from the experience. Whether you know it or not, doing this blog will probably do quite a bit to improve your cooking. There's no surer way to learn something that to teach it to someone else.
