26!

26. Can you cook or bake? If so, what are some of your specialties?

Ohhhh I am delighted you've chosen to ask this one. And providing simple answers is simply not in my nature, so buckle in.

I would answer yes to both. I enjoy baking, but I'm nowhere near Bake Off levels of home baker. I love making cookies, but I pretty much stick to only baking Christmas cookies (after 7 years, I would call the pecan tassies a specialty) and the annual batch of doctored up chocolate chip (browned butter, coffee, dark chocolate chips). And the reason I restrict my cookie baking is that I am canonically unable to restrict my cookie eating (I will eat 16 cookies in one day and feel sick, but not remorseful. It's a problem). Sweet treats aside, I've been baking peasant bread weekly for the past however many months, so I'd call that a specialty in the sense that I can do it from memory. And it's fucking delicious and if you wanted an easy, entry-level no-fuss bread recipe, this one is it.

Now for cooking. I'd say I'm a very experimental/intuitive home cook. Not in a cooking competition way. But in a...do what feels right and what I think would taste good kind of way? I won't bore you with the details of how I got here, but I tried so many new recipes and foods and now I just do what I want. I would say soup is one of my specialties. I fucking love soup. Anything can be soup. When I put off going to store and it's time for a round of pantry roulette, I almost always make soup - sad fridge vegetables, canned beans, a grain of some sort (usually farro, my beloved), and whatever spices strike my fancy and go with the ingredients already in the pot. Another specialty would be pizza. Just like soup, I firmly believe anything can pizza. And when I decide to make a pizza, it's straight up whackadoodle time. I'm talking brussels sprouts and jammy red onions. I'm talking summer squash and zucchini. I'm talking asparagus and potato. And my personal favorite from last year was when I made my dreams of a leek and potato soup-inspired pizza come true. Crust is always handmade, and always thin and crispy (because I will inevitably eat the whole pizza and the thinner the crust, the less the tummy hurty).

I would talk about food forever if you let me, but I think I've rambled enough so I'll shut up now 😆 thanks so much for playing!! 💛

keep the questions coming
