Leaning something new

If I could learn something new I think it would be how to cook. I would learn how to prepare meals and desserts. As far as cooking goes in my family it doesn't go well. My mother has burnt many things while cooking. She's burnt a cell phone, a backpack, even the microwave and some cabinets. So growing up I didn't want to be a part of the burning of the kitchen since everyone gave my mom crap for burning things. I've come to the conclusion that everyone burns things even Rachel Ray burns bread when she toasts it in the oven. All in all I think it would be good if I could make a meal when I came home.
