Started cooking at home by necessity. When I'd get home late from wrestling/football/track, I usually had to make my own dinner since it was after family dinner time. I particularly like to stir fry. I've tried many, many recipes (many several times) and haven't even come close to exhausting the possibilities. It's a great cuisine! Probably the first venison roast of the season, usually 2 weeks after Thanksgiving. My best large meals are Thanksgiving dinner (Turkey, et.al.) and Christmas dinner (Standing Rib Roast with Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings). But others seem to really like my soups and casseroles for the combinations of flavors and textures. Luckily I haven't really had any of these.
