Currently enlisted in the USCG, stationed in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Enjoying the change from Alaska. Hope to open up my own Deli in the future. Mac'n'Cheese (From scratch!) Spaghetti Fried Rice Yep. Those are my top 3! In that order too, lol. I dont really know of any "cooking traditions" as I cant find out anything from my mother (thats the cooking side of the family I guess?) except for 1 recipe she taught me, and it is hands down my favorite meal that has ever been made for me. When i made some steaks for the duty crew and my CPO told me they were the best steaks he had ever had on the boat! (Even better than my First Class'!!!) :( My grill caught on fire (literally 15 feet high flames!!!) and completely burned the hotdogs/hamburgers to a crisp!! Almost ruined the dinner, but I had some more hotdogs in my fridge luckily!
