I'm an 18-year-old vegetarian, just learning how to cook things other than toast and Ramen noodles. I draw, write, sing, knit, and sew, and I'm also starting to get into gardening. I recently gave myself a crash-course in baking with littleturtle's "Easy Almond Bars" (http://www.recipezaar.com/100226), and even though I set the oven almost 300 degrees higher than I was supposed to, they still came out delicious. (They also only needed to be baked for about 10 minutes, and opposed to 30!) Because of this experience, I feel confident that I can attept - and probably master - any recipe. I mean, hell, if that didn't burn down the kitchen, nothing will.
