I like long, romantic walks on the beach... Just kidding. I'm adventurous and would love nothing better than to tour the world, sampling the worlds tastes. I love cooking for people, and I often force feed others. I love simple things with basic ingredients. My favorite tastes are garlic, basil, rosemary, and cilantro. I love red meat. I like to experiment with cooking with beans and soup. I grew up with a mother that put together a family dinner every night. Since I work, I tend to cook in bulk and preserve the leftovers for the rest of the week. I haven't done this much (because of space), but I would love to have themed dinner parties. Boy, there are a lot of positive things, but no outright triumphs. I've had my share of burned noodles and burned pans.
