I am a full time web developer and a part time cook I would say. Cooking is a big hobby for me and enjoy every minute of it. My dad is a physical therapist and growing up I always said I wanted to be a PT during the week and chef on the weekends. Anything Italian, Mexican, or grilled. I really enjoy eating seafood but since my significant other doesn't care for it I rarely get to make any. My roots are German-Russian, Irish, and Scandinavian. Although many foods could be under these categories I grew up with a majority of traditional German-Russian foods. Cream Chicken an dumplings has and always will be my favorite dish that Oma makes. We have always begged her for certain dishes such as Cream Chicken and Dumplings as well as Rahme Nudlen (Folded dough with cream inside, then fried, served with peaches). Making about 10 Kuchens for German class in High School. Easy but then that was a triumph. Mastering many basic cooking skills before graduating high school is a triumph I think for every male! I started a mixed for my first time making chocolate cupcakes. Most of the cocoa was mixed in thankfully but needless to say I didn't start slow! Chocolate batter on the walls, cabinets, floor, fridge, THE DOG!! It was bad!
