Writing knowledge

magidQueue mentioned a writing class assignment for students to identify five things they know well, enough so that they could write an article about them.
I started thinking about that today. What do I know that well? It took a while before anything came to mind; I tend to think that there's more I don't know than I do about most topics. Eventually I came up with Judaism (though I think Cellio is a much much better writer than I am about pretty much every topic I've read her writings on, and though I know about a drop in the sea of Torah), home cooking, and children's books. Oh, yeah, high school math textbooks (as if anyone would want to know much about them; so many people run the other way when faced with them...). Somehow it seems that after all the fancy education, I should know a bit more than this.
Current Food: roasted onions, red peppers, potatoes, and sweet potatoes
