Here are the questions and my answers….

What were you cooking/baking 10 years ago?
Nothing really much… I could hardly make pizza… I was just finishing school and going to work on the cruise ships. I did not know how to cook… and for the next two years I have been eating only in the crew mess on the ship or restaurants in the ports.

What were you cooking/baking one year ago?
I think that this year will be the first Christmas I will actually prepare all the dishes myself… I start seriously cooking only in March 2007.
