The intro post below made me think, there is just a small group of us here and we don't really talk about anything other than food! Maybe a little GTKY post might be fun
-Where are you from? (be as specific or as vague as you wish)
-What do you do for a living?
-Do you have any kids/pets?
-How old are you?
-How long have you been married (if you are)?

That's all i can think of for now, but feel free to add more questions!

-When did you start learning to cook? Within the last 5 years I have developed a love for food, the problem is that I don't do well with trying new things. I would like to work through a cookbook, but wouldn't probably try most of what I made.
I had the gastric sleeve in January, so now my diet is high protein. I thought cooking would be a challenge, but the only issue is I am basically cooking for 1.25 (my stomach is the size of a banana), so I try for things that will reheat well the next couple of meals.

-When did you start learning to cook?
When I was a kid my mom always wanted me to help her cook in the kitchen. She said it was important to know for when I grew up and got married and had kids. I always preferred to watch TV, but would sometimes stand and watch her. I soaked it in over the years and when I moved out on my own at age 18 I started making simple meals.
