I learned most of my cooking from my mother and my granny. Every Christmas Eve as a kid I went to my granny's house and always help make dinner. I am not the perfect chef but am learning everyday. I learned how to bake alot of things from my mother. Baking was her favorite. My favorite dish that my mother made was her Baked Chicken with Cream Of chicken Soup on top of the chicken. OH MY GOD THIS ONE IS FUNNY! Ok so I was like 15 and our stove(gas) wasn't working so we cooked Ramen Noodles in the microwave(10 minutes stirring at 5). Well I used one of my mom's BRAND NEW bowls. I put the noodles in the bowl then put them in the microwave. NO WATER! LOL! My little brother noticed smoke coming from the microwave. I melted a big hole in the side of my mom's new bowl. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't even get mad about the bowl. We still laugh bout it to this day. When I cook Ramen Noodles they say "Don't Forget To Add The Water"!
