i am a graduate student. i like cats, crafts, cooking. i'll make anything once. i especially like to make baked goods. my father dotes on emeril, but i'm more of an alton brown person. my grandmother taught me to cook. she made very traditional, meat and potatoes recipes. but was also known for her excellent pies and cakes. lemon drop cupcakes. pumpkin tarte tatin. marshmallows. beef wellington. it was so raw in the middle it had to be microwaved.
