Have you read chess books? I got about as good as I could get w/o reading the books and then started digging into em. They bored me to tears and I didn't keep up with them, but I did get the sense that unless you're naturally a chess prodigy you have to read books and worth through their exercises/problems to get to the next level.

Recipes rather than cooking on the fly - I FUCK up the kitchen. I seriously get down. But everything I make is improv with the ingredients I have - which means staying consistently stocked with expensive ingredients that sometimes go bad before i get inspired to use them. Not cool.

Italian. Being essentially the only person in the family not fluent is NAGL.
