I have had to get to grips with cooking since my wife passed away on new years eve, it was just something she did whilst I was responsible for other things.
I, the same as tobw, am rubbish at making gravy but keep at it in the belief that one day...
I also got myself an air fryer and am making progress with making sure I get the best diet I can and not just chips with everything.
I will never be that good but I am sure I am getting better.
The other day I made a Greens cheesecake, no cooking but I felt pretty good when it turned out ok.
