If you want to learn basic cooking get a copy of The Starving Student's Cookbook. If you have a kid going away to college/moving out, get them this. Basic recipes with a few ingredients; focus on using only one pan or pot. Explanations of basic cooking terms. It's a great starting point. I'm still using my copy 30+ years later. People for years thought I was some sort of cooking guru and I was doing the simplest stuff ever.

I never learned how to fly a plane. I did basic flight school, but never followed through on it. Also, I totally suck at basic sewing.

At my brother's wedding, we were getting all dressed up, and he confessed he couldn't remember how to tie his tie. He wore one for work for several years; in the past. I half-windsored him up; making fun of him the whole time. He's my brother so I'm allowed to laugh at him in his moment of need.

I lucked out on the dancing thing. I was definitely the type to sit at a table and say, "I don't dance".

At a family reunion when I was about 12 years old, with live music and a dance floor, a cousin grabbed me and said we were going to dance. "I don't know how..." "Well, I'll teach you". She taught me three basic moves; overhead spins, side to side, and roll-outs.

Those three moves served me so well through high school proms, wedding receptions, and even at night clubs. My friends thought I was a dancing king; and I was just doing the same three things over and over.

Edit: Heck in high school I even got nicknamed "JT"... John Travolta... I was really just a nerd.

I would love to take some tango dance lessons, but the closest studio that teaches adults is about 2 hours away. : (
