I just started cooking about 2 years ago at the age of 25 (I know, I know.... I have failed as a woman) but only because no one ever taught me. I am slowly learning and have been 10-2 so far! I love cooking Asian food - its so different than what I was brought up on (plus my fiancee is Vietnamese, so I have to cater to that as well). I love trying spicy curry and noodle dishes. I make a mean chicken/steak fajita marinade....Oh, I'm so proud! Oh gosh... When I was making stuffed portabello mushrooms and used cottage cheese and sour cream instead of cream cheese (I just grabbed the first white container in the fridge....and yes, I am blond). It was not the best smelling or best tasting for that matter.
