I go through cooking phases. I went through a phase for a few years when I cooked almost nothing. Now I'm getting more interested in cooking again. My other big loves are distance running (think marathons), hiking, camping, the outdoors, fitness and cats! Whatever is easy. Must not have tomatoes in it. Must not combine sweet and savory. Meat + sweet = YUCK! Honey glaze does not belong on ham. Fruits do not belong in salads or on pizza. Etc... Aside from those few rules, I'm open to most anything! There are a few Assyrian dishes I really enjoy including Chiptee, Jarjek and Hadesah. Can't find the main ingredient for Hardesah, so I can't make it anymore. Cheesecake specialty!! I've put these from my mind. I'm good at forgetting. :-)
