simiain: Cooking for one is tough, i find it hard to be bothered, so i always find excuses to cook for others
my children have been grown and flown for ages now but I still seem to cook for a few when I do bother to cook at all - thats the beauty of freezers though - home made ready meals beat the heck out of the supermarket ones......
on the science in schools, well, any science is better than no science I guess..........
on the cooking at home thing, I think its such a shame that everybody's so busy these days - I used to love cooking with the kids around, we would natter about all sorts of things and their questions about cooking were only a part of a great sharing experience - my son could make spaggi bol and apple pie like a professional long before they even did cooking in school, same with the girls too, very capable cooks both of em - and great memories
