I tend to express my love for someone by shoving food into their mouth. I love to cook; it somehow relaxes me, entertains me, and makes me feel very useful and purposeful like no other task can. I will try any recipe once. My favorite things are baked goods--they excite my soul like little else, they are my true passion. I also love experimenting with cultural foods: Mexican, Italian, and Chinese, just to name a few. Pretty much your typical traditions-- holiday meals, special occasions, but I think my favorite tradition is 4th of July when the whole family gets together for a huge barbeque. So fun! Thanksgiving Dinner...from scratch...for the whole family...all by myself...Triumph! I can't really think of one off the top of my head, so I guess this section is TBA.
