I am a retired chef and I try not to cook for anyone but myself anymore!. I got into cooking cause I enjoyed it, thinking everyone would like the foods I cook as much as I do (and my brothers, my Mom)!. What a dissappointment!!! Everyone came to me saying, "I don't want this 'n that, etc!. etc!. Ppl!. have the nerve to phone you and demand (not request) that you cook a dish for them; drive across town and bring it over, blah, blah, blah!. Everyone has their own tastes, 'n dislikes and often it is not the same as yours!. So now, I cook for only myself or for my immeadiate family, and to heck with the whiners!. I used to give out recipes and when ppl!. accused me of not listing all the ingredients, you must have left out something, cause mine didn't turn out like yours, then I stopped giving out recipes too!. I can't believe how ungrateful ppl!. can be!. Tsk!.!.!.!.

Pp!. will have much more respect for you if you just cook your own special favorites and not cater to a single persons whims, put the food on the table and say!.!.!. "Dinner is served!
