I'm 24 and moved to New Jersey about a year and a half ago. I used to bake only at Christmas time, but I got so many compliments that I thought I should bake at least once a week. As for cooking, if it wasn't for my wonderful boyfriend, I probably wouldn't know how to do anything but bake. He's taught me a lot about spices and what goes with what. I think he's trying to domesticate me. I like to cook different kinds of fish and vegetarian meals. I am a pescetarian so I'm usually looking for different ways to get the protein that my body needs. As for baking, I am still trying to figure out what my favorite thing is. Lately I've been into muffins and breads. Decorating cookies with my mom. Now that I don't live near her, it is harder, but when I go home for the holidays she usually leaves me some cookies to decorate with her. Every time I create something new without finding a recipe for it. I love to come up with different concoctions. For about a month straight, every thing I baked came out burnt on the bottom and raw on top, I believe it was my oven, but I was still discouraged. I think boyfriend thought I didn't know how to bake.
