I'm a woman in my late 20's who loves to cook! I'm also fond of arts and crafts as you can see from my etsy page: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MonicArt I like to try cooking new things! My favorite family cooking tradition is the pierogi casserole my grandma has made every christmas since I was a little girl. I think my biggest cooking triumph was making scrambled eggs in the microwave when I was 6 years old. It took about an hour. I would cook the eggs for a minute on a low power take them out stir and repeat until they resembled scrambled eggs. I was so proud of myself! My biggest cooking tragedy was also when I was a kid. I believe I was about 8 years old. I was making cookies on my own and I put an entire cup of baking powder in instead of a teaspoon
