 Yes I can 
 Talented 
 Just old. I've had time to learn. 
 But division of labor is a good thing. Even though specialization is for insects.

But I like how Heinlein put it about the competent man in Time Enough For Love

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Lazarus Long

Something to strive for. 🤣🤣🤣 
 In #cricket lingo we call them #all-rounders .. but cooking is like opening the innings :-)
