I have been cooking since I was tall enough to reach the stove, although my definition of cooking has changed since then. I do not see microwaving food, or putting a prepared meal in the oven as cooking, nor do I see assembly as cooking. (eg: Packaged pasta, a jar of pasta sauce, and frozen meatballs.) I have been told by many that they love my cooking, at times it causes problems because I am always cooking or being begged to make cookies or pumpkin bread. My favorite things to cook... (I shall put my favorite things to bake as well.) Beef and broccoli Fried rice Eggdrop soup Chicken lemon soup Soup recipes from the top of my head Pasta dishes Shrimp Scrambled omelets perfect scrambled eggs Wheatless peanut butter cookies Pumpkin bread Pumpkin trifle Sugar cookies Any other recipes I find that sound good. Every Xmas morning waking up to cinnamon rolls. Making something out of nothing, being able to fix a recipe that seems destroyed, master at liquid eye measuring. I was given a chocolate drop cookie recipe and I decided to try it. They turned into thin greasy burnt hockey pucks. My brother-in-law decided to insult me by saying I did it wrong, when I told him to show me how it is done, he declined because I never mess up cookie recipes and he knows it.
