I watched my mom a lot growing up, but i didnt realize i could cook until i moved out. Now i am fully utilizing my cooking skills for bf, roommate and guests. Amber's Sesame Chicken and Ma Lipo's Apricot Glazed Turkey I love cooking Mexican food like my grandmother, even if i have to call in the middle of cooking with a question. I made homemade tamales for the first time for a friend's bday present. It took 13 hours in all. The first cake i ever made from scratch failed miserbly because i used the wrong pan, bf at the time walked 3 blocks to get me new pans because i was so upset. I've also forgotten things in the stove and burnt them and cried, i guess i should get a timer for xmas! But i rarely get goof ups now, but i think it happens to everyone once in awhile.
