I am 23 years old and just now teaching myself to cook more than just breakfast. My dad was a cook in the Navy for years so I've learned to use a lot of spices and herbs to give my food flavor (since they were short on variety they had to use spices a lot).
My cooking triumphs
My first dinner meal I cooked last night. It was from the Sage Pork Chops recipe on here, but I added some lemon to the sage too. Then, I took the Bouillon "sauce" I made and put it into the saucepan and let the pork chops soak for 10 minutes. I added some oven-browned potatoes with Parsley & Paprika and some mixed vegetables. My family and my boyfriend loved them and they are HUGE critics! They couldn't believe it came out so good.
My cooking tragedies
I can't cook over-easy eggs! I always end up either breaking the yolk or cooking the yolk too long.
