I was all about the Ramen noodles and hot pockets in college. I wouldn't have anything to do with cooking until the summer after I graduated. Now I love cooking and do it all the time. I always thought it would be really difficult; it isn't, who knew? I love vegetables, but I'm not a vegetarian by any means. I love a good salad. I love cooking chicken because there's an infinite amount of ways to cook it. I also like a good casserole...I just like trying new things. No real big cooking traditions. My parents are good at cooking but don't seem to enjoy it as much as I do. I consider it a triumph if the house doesn't burn down. =0) Eggplant. Can't cook eggplant.
