I love to try out new recipes on my fiance. I sometimes wonder if he's marrying me just for my cooking. :) Thai food Beef Stew! Being able to taste recipes and know exactly what's missing. I think that's a skill that takes years to develop. I had my girlfriends sleep over one night and we decided to make cookies. Baking is the one thing I'm not that great at. The cookies were like rocks and the frosting was runny water. Not impressive.
