About this Cook
I'm a full-time young professional, part-time grad student, and I volunteer in the few hours left in the week. This leaves me very little time to cook. I'm a picky eater. I'm cheap. Gotta pay off those student loans! In case you were wondering, I don't like salt, pepper (I always disregard the "salt and pepper to taste"), seafood, or dill (I think the dill may be tied to deep-rooted issues).
My favorite things to cook
I like to think I'm perfecting the art of cooking good food quickly. Sometimes this involves yelling (and even physical fights) if someone else enters my tiny kitchen, but I'm forgiven in the end after a good meal! I love to find news things to cook from allrecipes.com. Of course, I often look for ways to make them faster.
My favorite family cooking traditions
There is always some homemade pasta sauce in the fridge or freezer.
My cooking triumphs
Every meal is a cooking triumph!
My cooking tragedies
Well, I was recently baking some cupcakes for a friend's birthday last weekend and I forgot to add the sugar. I had a taste of some batter after filling the paper cups, so I was able to start from scratch before baking and serving them.

Hearty Lentil Soup
This recipe is awesome! I use olive oil and whatever stock I have on hand -- no cheese is needed in my opinion.
