make something: get cooking!

There are so many creative ways to discover your self, share your talents, and make something (new or new-again). I'm going to share a new idea each day for the next week. First on my list is cooking! Maybe you love to cook (or wish you knew how). Maybe your cooking experience involves heading to the farmer's market for fresh vegetables and creating a unique gourmet meal for your friends (or maybe it involves baking brownies out of a boxed mix after school). Whether you're a future Iron Chef or you can barely put together a PB& J sandwich, chances are you like to eat. So why not try out a few recipes and test your skills and *possibly* a future talent or career!
