I am 21 and new to cooking. I love eating more than I do cooking but you need one fore the other. Shopping at the grocery store excites me and relaxes me at the same time. My favorite isle is where you find all the random spices and sauces, if only I had more time to try them all. Fish and Mexican food. My family loves to eat but I wasn't raised to help out in the kitchen so I am starting from scratch. Its a lot of fun but basic tips you take for granted I would love it if you shared. Anytime I try something new which is constantly. so so many. The first time I was making spaghetti I took the pot to the sink with the lid on to drain the water and the whole thing went quickly down the drain and I was burned in the process. I tried a recipe that called for a lot of herbs like rosemary to cook some extra Halibut we had. Me and the bf like to call that disaster "grassy fish"
