I was born and raised in america but, am now living in egypt. I don't have twisted humor, life is just morbid. I love baking. Myself and yeast have now becomes friends. I used the crispy creme doughnut recipe from this site. Snickerdoodle II cake. I love cooking Lamb, honey ginger chicken, and more. Dry rubs are my favorite way to season. I love cooking the food more than eating it. My family doesn't really have any cooking traditions. I don't celebrate any of the common hoildays. But, the best time I had was whipping up a meal with my sisters for my mother and step father. serving them food by candle light. All the elegance of a fine resturant. Baaah. forget this. It's funny stories time. I was missing my sister one day and thus had the grand idea of fixing her fav meal. Poor pregnant me falls to sleep only to wake up thinking * Boy (snigger) is someone burning something. They should really get that. Dozes back off. Boy they are still burning it. Wait it's me. I left a candle burning. Runs through house like crazy, no candle. Ahhh Nap time again. Wakes up again. Hey what the heckity beckity. Ahhha I left the food on. The pot is popping, food is burnt. This is scary. Fast forward past me putting on crazy armor to stop damage to myself. I burnt the pot so bad, the next day I went to make potato chowder and the bottom was left on the burner. I'm surprise the pot made it the first day. can anyone say stainless steel shrapnel (sp??>
