I'm a vegetarian, and raising my kids this way. Ultimately it is their decision, but they will know the facts first. I love to cook, sometimes. When I'm in the mood I go for it. I rarely follow a direction completely,and I tend to have bursts of insite, although it doesn't always go well!! I love to cook everything, and have only just started baking. I've been having a great time with cookies and rolls and brownies. I'm hoping this interest will eventually help me appreciate tofu, as I have to be completely in the mood for it and it has to be cooked a certain way. We have none. My mom never really liked cooking, so I left the house unable to make an eggsalad sandwich. Hmmmm...When my husband surreptitously fills his plate several times with a dish I didn't think he'd like. I feel like a gold champion when we run out of dinner and my husband and sons ask for more. Several. Especially when things are going great, until I screw it up by adding something totally wrong last minute. I am a cook of impulse.
