Graduate student training to become a Physical Chemist. The Organic Chemist in me is the cook. My passion for cooking has only been released in the years I've not been living at home, with my college friends being my earliest test subjects with no objections. ;) Now that I'm in graduate school, I have more time and more resources (aka money) to hone my skills in cooking delightful dishes for me and my roommates/friends. One day, my future husband and children will reap from my cooking talents! ;) If it's Italian, I can probably make it. Anything American and Mexican is also pretty simple for me to whip out. I'm working on my Asian and Indian cooking skills too. Easter Pizza, Lasagna, Meatballs, Meat Sauce, Chili.
