I've always been fascinated by cooking, but I'm not an overall snob about it (though I do like sparkling water, and this new[?] soda made by Pellegrino in orange, lemon, and maybe other flavors).
My favorite thing to do lately is chili with ground turkey and garbanzo beans. I adapted it (heavily) off of a Lady Bird Johnson recipe I found on Pinterest. I also like to bake a good biscuit pudding. One thing I haven't tried to make is a cake, and I have lots of cake recipes and other very domestic looking desserts on my Pinterest account, which is here. ETA: I was referring to just your general white cake. I have done fruitcake. Pretty good, but it didn't set well. This year, I can't find any candied fruit locally, and I want to do it with a mix of candied fruit and dried fruit. Maybe I can just do maraschino cherries and dried fruit.
I do OK with stir frying, but want to do better. I do love using peanut butter, soy sauce, and sri racha as the sauce for noodles or rice, and usually shrimp or tofu for the protein. I'd like to do a General Tso's chicken.
I own a crockpot, and use it a good amount. These days just for chili or chicken noodle soup, both of which I love.
As far as drinks, I normally just drink water. I need to be hydrated. But, like I said, I love the Pellegrino soda. I also do dearly love alcohol, but I do not have the stomach for it, nor the GI (the latter issue attributable to spina bifida).
Very interesting thread.
