Cooking, for me, is really about entertaining. I love trying out recipes, and having people over to try them out. I never go to a friends house empty handed, and always try to take something that I've made. It makes me feel good, knowing I've given them something homemade. I love cooking tacos, and fajitas. It's great for entertaining b/c everyone can get involved with "building" thier dinners. Although I'm a lover of red meat, I love to cook chicken, it's easy, and there are a million things you can do with it. I haven't mastered baking. I never do it, so I never really get better at it. One day I wanted to take brownies to my new boyfriend's family picnic. They were crusty on the outside and really quite uncooked on the inside. Before I realized this I had to tell my Boyfriend to keeps his hands off. Later that night, when I started cutting them, I realized they were not fit to take to the picnic. Apparently they still tasted good though, b/c he happily ate my disaster. Now w/no time, I had to stop at a store and get store bought brownes, I WAS DEVISTATED; but it made a great story at the picnic.
