I'm a 23 year old loan officer living in the Bellaire area of Houston, Texas. We recently moved to this area from the Medical Center and, while we REALLY love our apartment, we hate the area. Oh well. You win some; you lose some. Lately, I LOVE cooking cajun/creole. I just can't get enought of andouille containing dishes. I've also been experimenting with whole meals in my slow cooker. It's working well, but it's nothing gourmet. Heh, it's nothing special, but, every holiday, I'm in charge of the green bean casserole (my favourite dish!), and, somehow, I'm always pushed into the job of peeling, boiling, and mashing the potatoes. It's not exciting, but everyone loves it! Recently, my from scratch jambalaya and from scratch gumbo have been INCREDIBLE. I've also come close to mastering a delicious spaghetti sauce. Sweet zombie Jesus... NEVER make fried rice with sticky rice! I mean, unless you have experience. I consider myself pretty masterful in the art of Asian cuisine, but, I have DEFINITELY learned, STICKY RICE DOES NOT MAKE FOR GOOD FRIED RICE!
