I'm the youngest out of the bunch and had my share of helping at dinner time. So now that I'm all grown up and experimented more than enough, I have come to terms that I enjoy most of my time in the kitchen cooking & baking. There are 3 generations of bakers in my family and it rubbed off on me too so when I start baking, look out cause I don't stop just at 2 desserts. Mind you, my husband and family like it. I told my husband that I need a bigger kitchen (hehehe). I am more into baking than cooking so I would say my most favorite thing to make is my FAMOUS RUMBALLS and to bake is pies & cakes (pretty much anything & everything). I'd like to get into a catering business and put my talents to work also. My favorite family cooking traditions is my enchilada's at Thanksgiving, my sweet potatoes at Christmas. We would gather in the kitchen to do their part in preparing the big meal. As we do this, we sample each others dishes and by the time it's ready to sit down we don't want to eat anything. My cooking triumph was when I finally mastered making my gravies. Another triumph is when I realized that my cooking was actually enjoyable. LOL My cooking tragedies was the first time I made homemade gravy, it was too funny. Another tragedy was making an apple crumble pie that I failed at terribly, even the oven was a total mess.
