I'm a stay at home mom for an amazing baby girl named Jordana Rose. I really hate cooking, but I keep hoping one day I'll turn around and realize that I'm kinda into it.
I do like to bake, I've been doing that since I was a little girl. I used to bake with my mom, and with my grandma Rose when she would visit.
Of course, I had to go and marry a guy who not only likes to cook, but is good at it. Oh, and did I mention my mother-in-law, the gourmet cook?!? Sigh...
My favorite things to cook
Anything I can make in a minimum of pots, with very few, very common ingredients. Simplicity rules...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking with my mom and my grandma Rose. Also the cake I proudly baked for m father when I was three that turned out flat, where I thought salt and sugar were the same thing... to his credit, my dad ate two whole pieces. And is still alive today.
My cooking triumphs
Anytime I cook something from scratch, don't burn it or undercook it, and it even remotely tastes good.
My cooking tragedies
I've burnt soup. Like to the point of it being on fire, and me throwing the flaming pot out the window onto the front lawn, then running outside and spraying it with the garden hose. We had a burnt patch on the lawn for months. (visuals/mental images encouraged for a laugh...)
