Hi. My name is Steve (natch) and I live in Minnesota, too. Currently I have a love/hate relationship with cooking: I love it far more when menu planning and grocery shopping than I sometimes do when it's actually time to stand in front of the stove and get to it. Most days, that isn't a problem. But some days...
I learned to cook because my mother insisted that all us kids needed to know how to feed ourselves on some basic level. I think the first dishes I prepared were omelets and Hamburger Helper. I've graduated well beyond that. I've learned to cook some cuisines in self defense -- when I moved out to the Midwest I wasn't sure I'd find the kind of Asian cooking I'd gotten used to growing up near New York City. At first, I was right. But local restaurants have graduated well beyond that, too.
Right now I'm cooking primarily for just my wife and I though I enjoy cooking for a crowd, whether that's grandchildren (offering some food they've never tried before) or cabin buddies. I'm also diabetic, so I keep it on the low-carb side. Was never a fan of all that gooey stuff anyway.
I'm looking forward to meeting more of you and talking food and cooking!
