College student and mother to one, very energetic toddler. Now that I've been responsible for preparing food for another human being, I've really honed my cooking skills.
My favorite things to cook
Pastas, soups, sweets...easy things that I can throw in a pot and ignore.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Huge holiday affairs where everyone helps. If you couldn't cook, you could at least peel potatoes!
My cooking triumphs
Murgh Makani (Indian Butter Chicken) from this website. It was my first attempt at Indian food and it turned out excellent!
My cooking tragedies
I cooked a "romantic" pork loin-chop dinner for a boyfriend once without realizing one of the chops (the one I served to him) had gone rancid. We broke up soon after but he wasn't my type anyway.
