User blog:Steven Bomb 17/Sims 3 for the DS cooking

Hi, I'm putting together a challenge for Sims 3 for the DS because while it's not a bad game since you can't have children it's just too simple. I know how to get all of my skills up and everything is all set for the challenge except the cooking skill. How do you get the cooking skill to go up? My sim rarely ever wants to cook, the cooking channel seems to always be busted (when I click "cooking channel" on any TV it vanishes after like a millisecond), and things I buy at the grocery never appear in my fridge.
