re: At what age did you start cooking/getting involved with food?

I only just started really.

Trying to turn my Saturday's into my cooking days now. Trying to find some good slow cooking meals that I can also use for leftovers.

I've always cooked very basic stuff. My mom's spaghetti,which I've changed completely, and other small stuff. I like my spaghetti, started working on my chili and did my first real red beans and rice a week or two ago. Looking for new directions now, though.

I think I started cooking more complete breakfasts, and that's what got me interested.

Really looking forward to cooking all day on Saturdays and drinking beer. So if beer is in the recipe I'm interested.
