I almost went into culinary school years ago, but couldn't afford it. Even with the loans and stuff. ;_;
ANYWAY. I still very, VERY much love cooking. I'm curious, does anyone have any favorite traditional foods? You know, like from their family or culture? Doesn't have to be a cultural thing, could just be something you or your family or friends have kind of always done.
For me, it's either a basic and hearty beef stew, or any number of Polish foods. I'm going to look at jotting down recipes for the Polish stuff ASAP, since I may or may not be moving away in the somewhat near future.
I love love love Kielbasa and pierogi, and we've also made basic homemade kluski. Basic, but good!
