If you ever have anymore recipes and helping out all the single guys/gals to better our cooking skills, please post up. Okay - okay - the married types too...maybe with this skill someone will get lucky!

You're welcome. Let us know how it goes!
I have noticed that alot of people completely forget to use common sense when cooking. Burnt don't mean Cajun! Also, people tend to alter a recipe before they have even tried it, then wonder why it sucks. Just relax.
The single best book a layman can read is Madeleine Kamman's 'The Making of a Cook' 
It is the single most concise, complete and prefessional book printed. It not only covers the recipes but the mechanics and molecular science on how things work/behave.
Rule 1. Always do the mis-en-place. That means get the items measured, cut and together before starting. Includes equipment.
Rule 2. Read through and comprehend the steps and results, then start.
Rule 3. Baking is a science. Don't go fudging around with baking recipes.
Rule 4. Season as you go.
Rule 5. Common sense. Your not building a Rocket. It's just food.
If you have a specific need, just ask. I'll try to help.
