Yum!

I like cooking and baking.  I like baking better than cooking because I am addicted to sugar.  Baking and cooking are relaxing and let you show your creativity through food.  My sister and I are known in the family as the bakers and "can bake anything."  I am not sure about that.  I also made a cake once to give to a bake sale and the cake was gone right away.  I got a lot of compliments about it.  I love baking also because you can share it with others.  If someone is having a bad day, give them a cookie or a piece of cake, and I'm sure they will feel better in no time!
Now that I am at college, I do not get to make my food.  I miss this.  My sister and I would make dinner almost every night.  This gave our mom a break.  It was almost like bonding time with my sister.  We would argue sometimes over who got to do what, but it was fun.  Cooking dinner was a way for me to take a break from the day and sort of relax.  I usually did my homework right after school, so it gave me a break from that.
Baking if my favorite.  I like to bake a lot of different kinds of things.  I bake cookies, cakes, and breads.  I like to try new things.  My sister and I have a three inch binder full of recipes we want to try.  I am good at making breads and I enjoy it.  This past summer I made whole wheat bread and it was delicious!  Last summer I made bagels, which were also really good.  I am a better bread maker than my mom because she can't even get the yeast to rise!  I have a list of things I want to make before I die.  I want to make creme brulee, cheesecake, pirogi, and donuts.  These are just some of them.  There is a long list!  
When I go home for Christmas break, watch out Mom and Dad, I am going to tear up the kitchen!
