I can cook, but I'm afraid of the oven. I was cooking something (bananas...just bananas..) in the oven when I was little, for some reason or another, turned it on, stuck them in, waited, then without turning it off, reached in to grab melted bananas, and severly burned my hand. So I'm afraid of hot surfaces now. ^_^; But I could cook as long as it isn't one of those fancy looking Chef meals like FacistPanties.
