what 10 things should every high-schooler know how to cook?

Ala Jaime Oliver saying kids should know 10 basic recipes before graduating school so they can cook, enjoy greater variety and nutrition, save money etc. What would those ten recipes be? (I once knew a home-ec teacher and her kids were learning hot-dogs rolled in American cheese and crescent rolls. Sounds yummy, but I mean from scratch...)1. basic tomato sauce (for pasta and pizza)2. pan-sauteed chicken breast with glaze (any one, but maple/dijon is fast and easy)3. basic salad vinaigrette4. mashed potatoes5. pan pork chops6. roast chicken7. a basic soup (chicken noodle)8. breaded fish or chicken9. basic casserole (tuna noodle)10. cooked veggies, like carrots and peasWhat would your list look like?Maybe at dinner tonight, the contributions and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. can be part of the conversation...
