I'm 20 years old and I love to make my own everything! I knit, crochet, sew, draw/paint, make porcelain dolls, cook (obviously :P), garden (i LOVE cooking with things from my garden), make string and metal jewelry, sculpt, and several other things. I also enjoy keeping my aquarium, horseback riding, hiking, camping, fishing (catch and release only), and others things I can't think of right now. Just about anything. I don't like things that are too fussy though. If I have to keep and eye on it the whole time it's cooking I probably won't wanna cook it. I love comfort foods! Hmmm....I'm not sure if my family has any traditions. I think the closest we have to a tradition is amaretto cheese cake every Christmas. :P Successfully baking a German chocolate cake on my first try for my boyfriend's birthday. Fried sugar cookies (a Japanese dish) that came out burnt and weren't very sweet.
