Hey Oshiro and all, Oh,no!Are you saying you only know how to make scrambled eggs,omelette,etc?:( Have you got any sisters?I bet that's why you never find it necessary to learn to cook.
I used to have to cook for my brothers when my parents were away on business,and they still had the nerve to complain about my cooking. Can you imagine that?!:( Well,that's why one of them in his early forties is still single and living with my mother.LOL Nice day,everyone!
