<p>Since I grew up with a chef for a father, everyone assumed that I knew how to cook too. Sure, I had picked up a lot of tips, but when I moved out on my own, I realized I didn't know how to make very much at all! After all, my dad did all the cooking and he was pretty territorial about his kitchen. Luckily, he instilled a sense of culinary adventure in me, so I'm not afraid to try much. I once went an entire month where I added cinnamon to <em><span style=text-decoration: underline;>everything</span><span style=font-style: normal;>, just to see how it would all turn out.</span></em> (Consequently, did you know that cinnamon goes <em>really</em> well on ice cream, scrambled eggs, and pizza? No joke! <img title=Laughing src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /> ) Now, I'm not too shabby of a cook, although there's still one thing that holds me back: lack of tools! No grill, no food processor, no crock pot, etc. - it really limits the recipes I can make. But oh well! There's still a lot of adventure to be had. ^_~ </p>
