I don't know how to cook. Today my mother and my wife have started to teach me the skill.
I cooked rice. It's not so difficult. Everybody ate the rice cooked by me. They said it was tasty, but should have been cooked for five minutes more.
However it was the first time I cooked something.
Tomorrow I'll cook rice again and will continue it for three days. Thereafter I'll learn how to cook vegetables and lentils.
And this time I'll not forget what I learn.

Tell your beautiful wife and sweet mother to make you cook once a week so you won't forget how to cook again.

Thank you. I want to be able to cook for my family so that my mother and my wife can have some rest. I don't have to learn to cook different dishes.

@Shivram59 You will need to know how to cook different things. Everybody, including you, will get tired of you only making one or two things.

@DaddyEvil You are right. I'll try to learn different dishes also. Now it is the beginning. Gradually I will develop interest in cooking other dishes.
Thank you.

I'm alone in my friend circle who doesn't know cooking. During my college days I had hired a man who cooked for me. But it was too costly. Now I'm learning the skill. My friends say it's too late.

@Ithink Agree. Enjoying whatever you are doing is better. It makes your mind able to grasp what you are learning.

I didn't know the skill. My mother and my sisters used to cook for the day family. when I was in college. At times I used to eat at restaurants, but it was too costly. Mom and my sisters tried to reach me how to cook a simple meal for myself, but I failed to learn it Later on I felt it is not necessary, and started learning it again. Now I can cook rice, lentils and curry. It's not so difficult and I enjoy it.
