A friend of ours posted this. I added a few.
I got 47 out of 50! Two are on my list and one (boiled eggs) I will not cook.

Lately, we have talked to many people who can't or don't cook. Who can really cook? Who can cook real food, not stuff prepackaged or in a box? (No Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese or Stouffer’s Lasagna). We look forward to seeing your surveys. We thought it would be fun! It’s all In Fun, no disrespect intended .

I’ve been craving potato salad for some reason, so I whipped up a small batch. OMG!

I do not do boiled eggs, celery or peppers, I’m pretty plain. I had hot, sweet and sour pickles I canned last year. They taste wonderful but weren’t crunchy so they became relish. I also used the hot mustard I made and red onion from my garden. It’s not hot🔥, but gosh it tastes good! We may need to do a video.🤔

Front yard! We’ve planted a lot of pretty trees! I love a “weeping” tree.

I watched a Wyse Guide video and he was making Canned Hot Mustard🌶️. It’s not for me, but I wanted to make it! I know people that love HOT 🔥🔥🔥 foods, so it’s for them.
It has habanero, Serrano, jalapeño, poblano, banana and bell peppers. Vinegar, salt, mustard and monk fruit. It’s hot, a tad sweet and of course a tangy, sour mustard taste.
Wyse Guide said it’s a weird mustard they eat. I agree it’s weird, but it’s pretty good! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
