I'm a little odd. I'm 20 years old, I've been cooking since i was 10~ish, I enjoy videogames, movies, hanging out with my friends, renaissance faire, dungeons and dragons, and cooking Cheesecake, Baklava, breakfast in general (pancakes, eggs, sausage, gravy, drop biscuits, etc.), fried mushrooms, doughnuts, roast ham with beer and mustard, anything that comes from a (I do hope i'm gonna spell this right) creme engles (custard, creme brulee, eggnog, etc.), macaroni and cheese, speghetti with meat sauce, fetticini alfredo... generally anything that I want to eat, I enjoy cooking. My greatest triumph has come only recently; I had volunteered to head the fall semester banquet for the medieval reenactment group at my college, which I'm very active in. Having access to a church fellowship hall/full kitchen (trust me, it was a beautiful kitchen with 2 islands, 2 ovens, 2 range tops, 3 sinks, an industrial dishwasher, and cupboards stocked with any sort of dish or tool I could need) and 5 hours, with the help of my mother and one volunteer I made a 5 course (14 dish) meal for 40 guests. I personally made up the menu (with many recipes from this site) and did all of the shopping on a rather small budget (I now officially love both Sam's Club and Woodman's). One night my friend and I decided, at 1:30am, that we would like some macaroni and cheese. Having been subjected to easymac for so long, I had forgotten some things to keep in mind when making shells and cheese from scratch. We got $15 in cheese, heavy cream, and shells at the 24hr market. We started the sauce first by shredding our cheese and puting it in the bottom of the crock pot with the heavy cream, some basil, and garlic. when the cheese was mostly softened, we added the al dente shells to the sauce only to find that our cheese had separated, we had a very thin sauce made of fat and creme and then chunks of stringy, tough cheese curd everywhere. we tried to eat it but in the end through it all away. There was that and the time I practically pepper sprayed myself when I tried to make salsa verde...
