Reasons I need to learn to cook:

Thanks to tastespotting.com, I'm hungry and sad that I can't cook, and on the same token, might be driven to try. Probably starting with a simple salad or salsa... and no I'm not kidding.

I mean, how delicious do these things look?

It's memorial day and I want to be outside, having a cookout, swimming, and drinking beer. Why isn't this happening?
