I graduated with a B.S. in biology in May 2009. My minors were in chemistry and psychology. Most of my experiments take place in my kitchen these days.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember. I especially love baking, and I've recently (summer of 2009) started canning.
Other hobbies include thrift shopping, drinking good coffee or tea, reading (especially cookbooks, nonfiction, and memoirs), knitting, trashy Vh1 reality shows, and spending time with my long-term boyfriend and our three (count 'em, THREE!) medium to large cats.
I like to cook, and eat, almost everything. I enjoy all cuisines.
My favorite meal - hands down - is chicken fried steak with homemade mashed potatoes.
Another favorite meal is my grandma's spaghetti and meatballs (okay, so it's Betty Crocker's recipe plus garlic, but it will always be grandma's recipe to me).
My grandparents have a beef farm, and I've lived my whole life in the Midwest, so I really love fresh, local food. It's always a bonus to know how your food was grown and by whom.
