[QUOTE=jnp;3043635]Oh it gets worse. I can’t grill either.
Let me be clear. It’s not like I set extraneous things on fire when I grill. I am marginally passable when I grill. Can I grill par excellence? Sadly, the answer is no.
I am no good in the kitchen in general.
I can; build a house, wire a house, read blueprints, utilize geometry and trigonometry in commercial applications, use an axe with more than the standard proficiency, hunt with a bow or firearm, fish, build a shelter, survive in the woods, navigate with a compass, but I can’t cook my way out of a paper bag.

People that get in my car tend not to want me to be the driver on subsequent trips.

For some reason, my driving makes them nervous.[/QUOTE]
I taught my wife to cook.
She rarely lets me drive. She actually flew from Austin to Oklahoma City, stopping in Houston rather than drive back with me and daughter #2 last July. We picked her up at the airport with her waiting about 15 minutes. $$$
Was driving instructor for both daughters. Wife white knuckles the steering wheel in traffic. She also can’t cook meat for shit. No matter how I try and explain time and temperature.
More in the too personal department, I’m also lacking in Samurai qualifications, specifically flower arranging. And footsweeps, can’t get good at those despite years of practice.
My father always stressed being a Renaissance man. Growing up, I added certain martial qualifiers heavily influenced by Samurai culture.
