I have two kitties - the one in my avatar wearing a Santa hat is my little girl, Bandit, and the one I've named my everything after, my little boy, Sergeant Dustmop. :3
Dusty was definitely the spark for that passion. When I got him from the shelter, he had a broken growth plate in his leg, and the vet said we couldn't do much except keep his weight down and make sure he gets extra glucosamine to prevent arthritis. Well, pills are silly and expensive and not nearly as useful as just giving a cat lots of connective tissue, like you'd find in a raw chicken foot, haha.
I just wanted little Dusty to have a 'normal', healthy life. Even if he's a little gimpy. c:
I'm right there with you! Until earlier this year, I could not make scrambled eggs. Looking back, how can anyone not be able to make scrambled eggs?! xD
Bread sounds interesting! Haven't done that before. o: Keep me posted on how that goes!
The farthest I've ventured outside of the usual cookies and brownies have been cobblers and turnovers. A pie tin is the next thing on my wishlist. I love pie. The possibilities of fillings are nearly endless, you just can't go wrong with pie. :3
