There was a time in my life when spaghetti and meatballs was the extent of "cooking" that I could do from scratch. Then one day I wanted to make a soup that I couldn't buy in a can. Next it was Vietnamese pork dumplings. So good! I won't claim that I'm a chef or even a great cook today. The ability open the fridge with no plan in mind and make something that my whole family and even my wife will enjoy, makes me happy. Sometimes that new creation even makes it into the regular dinner rotation.
