Re: Dishes are very tasty
You can share common interests (I like oranges and she likes oranges) which are interests you both have in common, but I don't think you can share "similar interests" because they are actually different interests (I like oranges and she likes tangerines).

Re: get down to studying
Why did you pick "studying" as the alternative to "work(no -ing)"? Try your process again with "study" instead of "studying".dante wrote:I'd like to know if I can use it with "studying" instead of "work" as in the following sentence:

Re: Full of happiness
Laughter like happiness is uncountable. (I'm copyrighting that to start my greeting cards for grammar geeks company - don't steal it!)
The first sentence could also be phrased:
What I'm most proud of is my family.
