Cooking is one of my many passions. I especially enjoy any events when I have the opportunity to cook and bake for a multitude of people, such as family reunions. Aside from cooking, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, lauging and having a good time. Food is as we know one of those things that brings people closer together. I love cooking anything I grew myself! Nothing tasts better than what I call 'pure' food. From the home made vinegar made from the apples grown in my own back yard, to the warm, fluffy potatoes on my plate. It all just gives me such a warm feeling that I have yet to find from any other of lifes simple pleasures. The worst thing I have ever made was my first try at making chocolate chip cookies from scratch. They came out more like mini frisbees. . . circular, flat, and hard! I was only fifteen at that time and it still makes me smile when I think back on that. I did not have my own apron, so I was covered in flour. My brothers were calling me 'powdered dougnut!' They were not eaten, so we threw them at each other until mom yelled at us.
