Cooking+tradition

Every time when someone in our family turns 12 years old they have to cook sunday meals for one year because I guess it's suppose to help our cooking skills when I'm older in college or married and since I am 12 I have to cook dinner for a year. We would always cook porkchops, and chicken, and roast, and my favorite mashed potatoes and every sunday we would cook all of that good stuff I just love to smell that beautiful smell of chicken. The first time I started to cook was a pretty bad experience. I had know idea what I was doing, for example I kept dropping the potatoes on the floor and my dog would always eat them which I can't wash it because it would be to gross! Also my brothers and sisters would think that I'm dumb when I don't know how long the dinner cooks or how much flower to put on the porkchops or chicken. I would always emabarrass myself when I say "I don't know how to make the gravy" and my brother would always say how long have you been cooking? So it's a big hassle around my house when someone cooks, and the part that I hate the most to cook is the kool-ade because when I try to shake the pitcher the kool-ade would leak and spill. But there is another part about the meal that I don't like as much is cooking green beans YUCK! But in the end the dish turns out pretty nice and GOOD! that's a little surprising to me.
