I'm 30 years old and a part-time housewife, part-time research scientist. I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, tweaking recipes to suit my pantry stocks and personal preferences, as well as sometimes throwing together ingredients with the hope that my concoction will turn out edible. Anything quick and easy, or not-so-quick but classic. I baked a fabulous rich chocolate cake, and we ate the whole thing within a day--we even finished off the pieces I had (futilely) left in the freezer for future enjoyment...and there were only two of us :-) For one Indian dish I had never made before, I followed the recipe to the letter and it ended up looking like a disaster, or so I thought. It turned out that that dish was intended to look exactly so, because my husband recognized exactly what it was. Unfortunately, it also happened to be his 2nd-worst favourite Indian dish of all!
