I love cooking anything. I really like spicy foods. I like my food to keep people guessing what's next. I always add raisins to my rice. Regardless if it's a curry rice or not. I don't get intimidated in the kitchen. If you do, you might as well put down your knife. Confidence is the most important "spice" in your food. Every Thanksgiving since I was about 8 years old, it's been my job to make the pumpkin pie. My mother has tried to make it before, but she says mine is better. I made a honey chipotle sauce served in a restaurant that I had never had before just by my friend's description. He said it was spot on. I made a cheesecake that I had made many times before. For some reason this time I accidently put in 2 cups of sugar, instead of 1/2 cup. The cake never setup. It tasted great,(very sweet) but it had the consistency of a pecan pie filling.
