Had our daughter in March '07 :) Incidentally my husband has a god-given talent for cooking... usually on the fly... what ever he does turns out wonderfully well! I LOOOOOOVE baking. That said, I was very impressed by the mad cooking skills of the Top Chef contestants. The creativity and knowledge of food was very inspiring and makes me want to take classes in gourmet cuisine. My Mom has always made "Danish Puff" for special occasions -a breakfast sweet that is heaven sent! I'm learning more and more all the time about cooking and creating meals. Any time I pull together a coordinated mealtime extravaganza for guests, (usually with lots of help with All Recipes) I feel it's a major triumph! Most of the time, I create very nice meals, but I don't quite have good cooking instincts in place yet so I usually stick pretty close to the recipe. One night I abandoned all fear, was drinking wine, singing and throwing things into the pan on the stove. I created the most magnificent glop that my husband and I couldn't eat (and lots of it)... at least I have baking instincts in spades!
