Looking at another post I was curious to see what fun stories you have from learning how to cook as a child, preteen, or teen.

I still remember how my grandmother tried to teach me as a child how to peel fruit but since I was left handed she couldn’t figure out the best way to do it and my father (left handed as well) did it instead.

Another story: I, as a preteen, was cutting a piri piri pepper to make chilli. I washed my hands when I was done (I knew that much) but didn’t get all of the juices from under my nails apparently. I touched my eyes later on and remembered that some classrooms in school had eyewash stains, so I went to the bathroom and put my head under the sink for a while. And then I remembered milk. And I grabbed a carton and took it to the bathroom. What a relief!! I remembered talking to my dad about it afterwards. He wasn’t upset - he did ask me why I didn’t wash my hands and I told him I did - and was being very light about it all while I was worried we had wasted a whole milk carton 😅
