I am currently a science teacher at the high school, but before that I was a chemist at a pharmaceutical company. I enjoyed being in the lab because it is a lot like cooking, mixing things together and seeing what you come up with. My favorite things to cook are lasgna, meatloaf, my bean and ham soup, enchiladas, cookies, cakes, and cheese cake...all foods that my family loves. Having the kids help with the cooking...they especially like to roll out cookie dough. Teaching them how to make our homemade fudge(secret family recipe) and leefse. Any time my family sits back after eating one of my meals or desserts completely satisfied. Burning the Easter Ham...they said it wasn't too burnt, but it wasn't up to my standards. The smokey flavor did add to the scalloped potatoes that I made the next day though.
