I love to cook! My mother taught me the basics way back when, and insisted that my sister and I each prepare dinner one night each week. Like Booger, I use recipe books and internet recipes mostly for general reference and usually tweek them a bit according to what ingredients I have, or to subtstitute items I know we don't like.

I also love to eat...so that's another reason I love to cook. lol That's why I learned how to make Chicken Marsala!

Though I make a mean General Tso's Chicken too.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
