I remember when I was 16, my mom started to teach me how to cook.  She said,
"No son of mine is going out into the world without knowing the basics."
Not only did she teach me to cook, she taught me how to bake; read recipes
and how to double/halve them; how to sew; knit (though I have forgotten);
personal finance; and how to shop by looking at unit prices.  All of those
skills have served me very well in life and have allowed me to take care of
myself with little assistance needed.

Hanging out in this echo has taught me a lot also.

Here's a recipe so simple it'd be impossible to screw up:
