I like to eat and love it when I eat good food I have made. I like learning new things and enjoy taste testing different cultures. Sweet potatoe pie, rice crispies, chicken cordon bleu, spaghetti recipes... Rice crispies for every occasion! And corned beef and cabbage every St. Patty's Day. My first cheese cake ever turned out very nicely, so did my first sweet potatoe pie. They were very tasty and rewarding, but my true triumph was when I made sweet and sour pork. It was so... good. I was afraid everything would go horribly wrong, but it came out satisfactorily. Not so much a tragedy as a disapointment: I spent nearly four hours in solid prep/baking for a two layer lemon cake. I made the cake batter, the filling, and the icing all from scratch. When all was said and done... it wasn't any better than a cake mix batter, like betty crocker or something.
