#15 Know How to Cook

At the very least you need to know how to make one app, roast a chicken, make one soup, do a saute, make scrambled eggs, steam veggies and how to properly whip cream so you can have berries and cream for a dessert.

I, of course, would love it if you knew a lot of other recipes but I will accept it if you only know these things. And make sure and eat your veggies, Mommy loves you way too much to let you skip that universal piece of maternal advice. Furthermore, please concentrate your veggie efforts on kale, spinach, chard and cress. For the record, we do not count ketchup as a veggie in our family.
