I am a 28 year old living with my "better" half, and 2 lovely dogs. I have enjoyed cooking ever since I was able to reach the stove, I enjoyed learning from and watching my mother cook& bake..it was one of her real joys in life to create something in the kitchen and watch us all enjoy it that brought happiness in her short life, and I believe that has been passed on to me!
My favorite things to cook
Cakes, Cookies, Desserts are my specialty but I perfer anything "downhome, southern style"
My favorite family cooking traditions
always always have at least 1 3 course meal during the day...and start out with a good breakfast, gravy included! *lol*
My cooking triumphs
I recently baked a Honey Bun cake, though at first it was difficult * the cake itself very thick and hard t work with* but the end result was gone in an hr! I was soooooo proud of ME!!
My cooking tragedies
last Easter I was boiling eggs to make a potato salad, I put them on boiling *on medium high* got busy talking to my grandmother on the phone forgot about the eggs and all of a sudden I hear a loud pop and sizzling I go.. "OH NO MY EGGS" I hung up on my gramma ran to the kitchen and boy was I surprised to see the pan my eggs were in had burnt the red coloring of it off.. of course the pan was dry as could be and 2 out of the 6 eggs had busted, but in the end I think about that now and laugh, and ALWAYS watch my eggs if they need to be hardboiled * lol*
