  12. Help! My friend can't cook!

    <b>Q:</b> How do you tell longtime friends they are not as good cooks as they think they are? Leathery ravioli, tough soft-shell crab, pork chops bloody at the bone; these are a few of the meals I have endured at their hands. They have informed me that their dinner party invitations have gone unreciprocated and they often receive cookbooks as gifts. Clearly, hints are falling all around them and they haven't noticed. I think I might give them a gift certificate to a cooking school. Any suggestions?
