| Ramen = Replacement For Cooking Skill
I realized if it weren't for Ramen noodles I would have starved to death years ago (that or there would be far fewer stray cats in the neighborhood).
Should I learn to cook?
What basic skill set are you completely inept at?

Any installations or repairs that require some knowledge of electricity.
Although my best claim of ineptness was telling my husband that since he was home when the dishwasher was installed he must know how to use it.. and I didn't... (I'd rather cook than clean up anyday - and it's worked for 25 years now). | |

| I'm totally inept at maintaining relationships. I'm not good at blade takes either.

| I never learned how many cups, teaspoons, pints, gills, ounces, etc. are in a gallon or whatever. Just can't work with those measurements. Reading a recipe is always a pain in the wazoo. (Was in elementary school when the US was trying to go metric, oh well.)

| Speaking French is what I am lousy at... I LOVE the sound of French being spoken... I will sometimes listen to the French channel, just to have it in the background.... but it sounds nothing like what comes out of my mouth when I try to speak it... I'm really pitiful.
Edit: Okay... to be truthful I'm horrible at most languages. Even English took me a long time (I preferred Ukrainian and didn’t want to learn English wgen I was really little). I wish my mother continued to teach me Ukrainian as I don’t know much of the language other than insults I used to make-up to insult my siblings.

| Dude, ramen rocks. I was craving for it so bad the day before too. Ramen pwns stupid dining hall food. I'm so moving to apartments next year... until then I'm not sick of ramen yet. Yumm yumm.

| I suck at marriage. Fortunately,this husband hasn't caught on to that fact... yet.
I am inept at fleching. Fletching? No problem, I make great arrows. Fleching? No soap. Not too good at a lot of fencing moves, to be honest.
I don't do math. Ever. Unless it's figuring out a bill or a tip, then I'm golden - unless I've had too many martinis. Then someone else settles the bill.
I can't make a red sauce to save myself. Any other kind of sauce, I'm a freaking wizard. Red sauce? No.
I cannot cut my lawn.
I haven't balanced my checkbook in about 10 years.

| I'm really bad at saying the perfect thing at the perfect time. In fact, I was just thinking about this the other day. I had a "confrontation" with some stupid girl over something dumb, and I couldn't think of anything good to say when she got in my face. It was two days later when I realized exactly what I should've said to both quench the situation and make her look ridiculous and stupid at the same time. That really drives me crazy that I always think of things when it's far too late. | |

2. Practice.
3. Unless you plan on using it, then who cares.
4. White wine reduction sauces are the best anyway.
5. Get a bunch of shade trees and replace your grass with moss.
6. That's why the ATM shows your checking account balance.

| I'm absolutely horrible with money. I have no idea where it disappears to, it just vanishes...
Other than that, I've never really found anything that I can't do.

| Reading this thread's title reminds me of something from a couple of years ago. My sister said, men should learn basic cooking, I said "ummm, you're talking about cooking instant noodles right?". Well, now I'm good at cooking (no ppl, not just instant noodles and ramen). | |
