I love cooking big dinners. I don't really eat breakfast or lunch, but I relax when I cook. It's my time to do something I enjoy and I feel like it's an unselfish hobby because even though I'm taking time to myself, everyone else enjoys the rewards. We don't have that many traditions, but we always sat down to eat dinner together whenever possible. My biggest triumph is still finding out that I can cook. I never had any teaching, I just watch and can pretty much put a recipe together. I can make things after trying them without a recipe. And I enjoy coming up with my own variations of recipes and trying them out on my family. There have bee a few. I like to try new things, so sometimes there are just those nights when a dinner didn't work out. And a couple times I lost track of time and burned things.
