Well, I'm 27 and find that my job doesn`t give me a lot of opportunities for time consuming hobbies, so I cook. I like to keep active, read listen to music and draw (which I dont really have time for). My rule when it comes to cooking is follow the recipe to a `T` the first time and tinker with it the next time. I like anything I can do in a frying pan, but have been tring slowcooker recipes recently. We really dont have any... I mean I guess overcooked/dried out turkey at Thanksgiving, but thats about it. I guess its about time to start one of my own, deep fried pudding anyone? I cook a mean chicken marsalla, and a pretty good black bean soup. All things involving home-made dough...
