On the cooking, Before i left home I wasn’t very active in the kitchen, would make myself the basics like toast etc, but never really learned to cook or bake my own stuff. Since moving in with the now wife, i have had to learn to cook/bake especially with having the boys and it turns out i am actually quite good at it. Not masterchef winning stuff, but i can make a lot of stuff from scratch that I couldn’t before i left home. Looking back i maybe should have helped my mum cook more. I use to help peal the carrots for soup, but that was it. My eldest wants to help when cooking now as well, which i suppose is a good thing.
