Martin -

I don't know how to adequately thank you for that last link.

For me, the part where it says in the linked article "And you 40-somethings
and older who've never learned or who have had lifestyle changes that have
forced you to cook..." hit the bulls eye. It is a lifestyle change for me.
My wife developed cancer and is unable to cook or even stand for more than a
minute or two. Now, after 64 years of never having to do housework, I have
been thrust into the chore of housewife. I never realized how hard the work
was.

The grunt work of cleaning, washing clothes, and some other household chores
I can pretty much figure out and handle. Cooking is another matter. I have
read cookbooks but they only give ricipes. I needed very much to understand
principles. My wife knows those principles as if she was born with them.
They are second nature to her, but she doesn't know how to teach me. And,
the drugs she takes does not help her to help me.

To the newsgroup: Please forgive me for this off-topic post. I felt it was
necessary to thank Martin for his link and to point out that sometimes even
engineers become lost.

Sincerely,
John
