I never thought I liked cooking until I started making family dinners. Now I love it. There is something exciting about trying new recipes and watching how they come out and it's rewarding to see family and friends enjoy what you've made. I love to cook traditional home cooking types of food and bake goodies. I have really been into Irish dishes lately. Christmas cookie baking day! Usually a 15 hour baking extravaganza with my sister. We have been known to get slap happy towards the end, but the cookies are always delish! Recently made a potato soup that my family loved! They said it was better than any they ever had! Oh, lordy... I once made an angel food cake without realizing how much the batter expands while baking... It was unreal, like a volcano. Still sorta tasty though :)
