My Kitchen...

If you're reading this, it means that you find the idea of what I'm about to blog about interesting. I'm not even going to sit and explain why I'm making this blog, except it has much to do with boredom.

I grew up in a very intra-ethnic/interracial household. I grew up eating Southern American, North East American, and Indian cuisines. My mother was a fabulous cook. What ever she managed to put her hands on came out fantastic. She's very creative also in the kitchen. She just forgot to teach me, so I had to learn myself and finaggle a few recipes from my Grandmother before she passes.

Might I say, we were also Vegetarian. So, many of the memories of dishes I consumed had no meat products. I grew up with Tofu, rice, and legumes that were seasoned with curry and the like often. Roti/Chapati and eating with my fingers. I miss those days. ;D

Now, my house is full of picky eaters. All of them do not have a diverse taste for the different flavors of the world. So, I've coped by making one pot meals and occasionally having a East Asian night for the one child who is obsessed with Korean culture. Myself, I'm a foodie. I love food, but I love TASTING food. Not just eating it, but enjoying the flavors being mixed together and the way they titillate the taste buds.

I'm also a baker. I love to bake. I have many favorites, but I'm good at making my Boston Cream Pie and Strawberry Dream 3-layer cake. I love to make Croissants and Plum Kuchen also. I should start baking again, but no one is here to eat all of my buttery goodness.

I'll post pictures of my dishes that I make.
