Everyone has heard of the "Everything I learned in Life, I learned from ...." poem. They are every where and they seem to have one out for everything. Well... I finally found one they missed. I was looking for the one that said "Everything I learned in Life, I Learned from my Kitchen." There isn't one -- so I made one up.
