I really love to bake. I love to try new recipes for cakes, brownies, cookies, etc and then test them out on the guinea pigs, er, my coworkers. Luckily, I never get any complaints. I also love to cook Filipino cuisine! Christmas time is baking time. I grew up helping making half a dozen types of cookies, plus cakes and pies, for the holidays. New Years day meant corn beef and cabbage for good luck. Easter is the time to pickle eggs. Small traditions, but I love them. I'm "famous" for my red velvet cake, macaroons, spinach artichoke dip and crab soup. Or I should say that's what everyone requests when I have a party! :) Like any cook, I've had plenty. I would say since I don't cook it often, red meat is usually where I've had issues. Luckily, it's been awhile.
