See http://sm00bs.livejournal.com/profile I love to bake more than anything, but I love to cook as well. My favorite things to cook tend to be my favorite things to eat. It really all comes back to baking. My favorite memories are in the kitchen when I was a child, baking cookies at Christmas with my mother. Any meal my husband excitedly requests a second time is a triumph. That doesn't happen all that often, unfortunately. Let's not talk about that. ;)
