I can't cook.

The first time I made a meal for my husband ~ then my boyfriend ~ it was dried chow mein with crispy noodles, out of a box.

As you can see from the link, this is a very quick & easy dish to prepare. And I used to like it. But instead of taking 25 minutes to make, it took me about 2 hours. This was because I wanted my crispy noodles perfect, so cooked them in very small batches.

As you can tell, I had my reasons, but 2 hours for a 25-minute ready meal was too much for my husband, and he decided there and then that I couldn't cook.

And I can't!
