This was when I learned about gourmet food and fine wine. An old girlfriend from decades ago had a brother-in-law that was a CEO of a trucking company, and he used to entertain in Manhattan quite a bit.
After getting my first apartment, I used to cook 5-nights a week, and go out two nights. In High School, I took three different cooking classes and got an A in each.
By the time my mom returned, I was stirring the pot on the stove, and proclaimed 'Look Mom! I'm cooking!' When my mom said that she was just running to the neighbor's and would be right back, I climbed onto the kitchen counter and found Lipton Instant French Onion Soup Mix.
