I am 16 years old and has been cooking all my life - the easy stuff anyways, like eggs, bacon, ramen, etc. Does that even count? :P Well I just started REAL cooking around a year ago, if not less. It started with just baking cookies for my friends and boyfriend, then I started baking cakes and moving out of the "baked goods" rut I was in. I love to read, go on my computer (MYSPACE! lol), listen to music, play piano, and most of all - play volleyball and lacrosse!!! It's really simple but I love corned beef hash. It's amazingly easy and for some reason I have always been a sucker for corned beef. However, I love making a recipe for the first time - it's so much fun not knowing whether or not it'll be a success or a failure!
